Notes from the Weekend, Part III

I’m home sick today, but I already had this typed out and ready to go.  Enjoy:
In case you forgot, me and my buddies Aaron and Phil went to Chicago this past weekend (well, now two weekends ago) to a Chicago wealth expo, featuring Tony Robbins, Suze Orman, Donald Trump, and Robert Kiyosaki.  If you’re still […]

A Global Warming Tax?

According to England’s The Sun, families across Great Britain could have to pay a ‘global warming tax’ to help the government fight it off.
He was speaking after it was revealed that Environment Secretary David Miliband had already drawn up sweeping green tax plans which he has put to Gordon Brown.
He wrote to the Chancellor: “As […]

Jim Webb Got Owned

Today’s big headline on Drudge Report says “Allen’s Revenge”: George Allen, republican, exposed Jim Webb’s fiction writing. If you want to be disturbed, here’s a piece:  http://www.drudgereport.com/flashaw.htm. (I’m not sure how long that link will be good).
I guess the quest for Congress this year has resorted to calling Hillary Clinton ugly (which happened this week) […]

Bush to Sign Border Fence Bill

President Bush is going to authorize 700 miles of fences along the U.S.-Mexican border today, asserting the tough GOP stance on immigration.
Before you get too happy/sad about this news, consider this:
“A fence will slow people down by a minute or two, but if you don’t have the agents to stop them it does no […]

Notes from the Weekend, Part II

In case you forgot, me and my buddies Aaron and Phil went to Chicago this past weekend to a Chicago wealth expo, featuring Tony Robbins, Suze Orman, Donald Trump, and Robert Kiyosaki.  If you’re still confused, just scroll down a little.
When we left off, Tony Robbins had just left the stage and everyone was leaving […]

Stem Cell Research

Michael J. Fox recently appeared on a local Missouri ad for a woman named Claire McCaskill.

Stem cell research “gives us a chance for hope,” he says.
Yes.  It does.  But “a chance for hope” doesn’t equal an automatic cure because we dig through babies.
As was the case with the Wisconsin race for governor, this ad gets […]

Notes from the Weekend, Part I

As promised, here are my notes on my weekend at the Chicago Real Estate Wealth Expo from the Learning Annex:
First, we saw about 75% of it, because we weren’t too interested in seeing Donald Trump speak on Snuday night.  In fact, of all the speakers that were there (at least the big-name ones) he was […]

Fun Weekend

I’m actually typing this Thursday night so that I can post it before work Friday and not leave anyone in BPN withdrawal.
My buddies Aaron and Phil are accompanying me to the Real Estate Wealth Expo in Chicago this weekend - I learned about it when my brother showed me an ad for it in some […]

Smart Women, Old Maids

According to this, it’s pretty difficult for the smart, overachieving women of America to land a husband.
Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Maureen Dowd subsequently rued that despite succeeding beyond the dreams of her Irish maid ancestors, her odds of landing a husband might have jumped if she, too, never aspired to anything beyond keeping house.
Ever consider that […]

Tell us where he touched you, Foley

Mark Foley is set to reveal the name of the Catholic priest who supposedly molested him to the Archdiocese of Miami. Apparently, he was molested when he was a teenager, and it has been responsible for any of his wrongdoings since.
I wanted to link to this story so that I could address the […]
