I’ve always admired former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. He’s a ballsy giant of a man whose plain talking stogie puffing ways and role in breaking the stranglehold of banks in the ’80s precipitating the S&L crisis have made him both a household name and a reputation as one of the most straightforward and down to [...]
I’m sure nobody has missed the brouhaha surrounding Tiger Woods’ alleged infidelity. Not being a celebrity fanboy sycophant, I generally despise the celebrity worship Americans insist on engaging in and all the rabid gasping and moralizing when one of them is suddenly revealed as a mere mortal like the rest of us. Unfortunately unless [...]
Men, the future is here. This article describes a procedure developed and tested on rabbits to grow and reattach prosthetic penises from the individuals own tissue. Once done the body accepts it and it becomes fully functional. While ethical issues will likely prevent men from partaking in this procedure voluntarily for cosmetic reasons, doubtless if [...]
Recently I stumbled across this article on mama drama spoiling kid’s “playgroups.” Playgroups, the phenomenon of over-privileged suburban soccer mom helicopter parents have apparently become par for the course among the over-involved idle housewife set. Like so many of the oh-so crucial activities we foist upon our offspring in lieu of actual parental emotional involvement [...]

September 2008, the credit markets freeze up and the world economy enters a tailspin. Here in the states we are stricken with the sharpest economic decline since the great depression.

I just had to throw this article up. It’s somewhat satirical but gets at a real nut of truth about the reasons behind declining birth rates among the middle and upper classes in America and the developed world. Besides the obvious biological reason (failure to reproduce is genetic suicide) why would anyone want to have [...]
Ever dated a woman who wouldn’t order a meal but then proceeded to devour yours right off your plate? How about the dessert consumption tactic of “I’ll just have a half” and then proceeding to wolf down 17 in succession (most common among the geriatric set)? Who do they think they are kidding? Men may [...]
Read part one of this series here. In my previous post on education I addressed formal education, specifically higher education. As stated therein, I view higher education in a very utilitarian light. It is an investment in one’s future and one should expect to earn a return from it. Yes, along the way you may [...]
Given my infrequency of posting of late, I feel an explanation is in order. Typically my intent is to post a minimum of a few times a week, and for the most part I’ve maintained this frequency with the exception of when my site was down and since I got it back online. As Murphy’s [...]
