Sitemeter

I was so excited when I added Sitemeter to my blog. It allows me to see who visited my blog, how they linked there, where they were located, and how long they stayed. So cool... except that I've noticed that for the past few weeks the only person who visits my blog is ME... and deerfieldpartners.com... whoever the fuck that is. How depressing...

The Problem of Youth

I can't say I agree with his final conclusion, but I agree w/ pretty much everything else he says.

I've never seen Colin Ferguson's show... whatever it is... but I'm tempted to watch it after this.

Prey Alone

One of the coolest 15 minutes ever. It's like a combination of "The Professional", "Heat", "The Matrix", and some gamer humor all in one... I love it.

Pork

The Obama "Stimulus" plan (aka "The Generational Theft Act" or "Porkulus") has turned out to be a sick joke on the American taxpayer. So far it has failed to stimulate anything except growth in goverment agencies. In the end, the only thing it will accomplish will be to drive up interest rates and inflation and add to the crushing debt burden on our grandchildren.

However, we're stuck with it so we may as well have fun with it. So, here's an amusing tidbit from the Recovery.gov website: As part of the "stimulus" the Department of Agriculture purchased $16,784,272 worth of "Canned Pork". Now there's some fun irony.

Quote of the Day

“Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”

Flushed Puppy

(LONDON - Associated Press) A British pup had a narrow flush with disaster after his 4-year-old master decided to give him a bath in the toilet. Daniel Blair was quoted as telling Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid that he tried to clean the muddy 1-week-old cocker spaniel because he was muddy, and he flushed him down the drain.

His mother Alison was quoted as saying she thought the dog was dead, but a drainage firm was able to locate the beleaguered animal in a pipe 20 yards away from the house using specialist camera gear.

Pictures of the wet, frightened-looking puppy trapped in a pipe were posted to the firm Dyno-Rod's Web site and broadcast on British television Monday .

The company says the dog is now fine.

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought after finishing this article was: "Wow, I need to get a toilet that's that powerful."?
