et al.:oracle speaks, recession official/may be worst since WWII

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Forget about the niceties of an official declaration: Martin Feldstein, who heads the group that ratifies recessions after the fact, has spoken, and says this one may be worst since WWII. Wondered what “optimistic guy” George Bush will do, if anything.

et al.: happy first day of Spring!

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

You can get sick from eating too many Godiva chocolates on Valentine’s Day, but peer-reviewed research from the Harvard Medical School demonstrates that you can never get enough baseball, right?
Yes, as astronomers know, it’s the baseball equinox today, the time when the sun is shining directly over the Grapefruit League, even if Spring seems […]

et al.: compare Clinton and Obama Super Tuesday remarks

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Back with another head-to-head Many Eyes comparison of Clinton’s and Obama’s speeches: in this case their remarks after Super Tuesday. Unlike the brief opening statements before the California debates, these were lengthy enough to perhaps give some insights into their priorities. Note that Obama’s remarks were considerably longer than Clinton’s (452 vs. 298), so […]

et al.: compare Clinton and Obama CNN opening statements

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Back by popular demand (I actually have gotten a lot of hits on my prior word clouds of Presidential campaign and bin Laden statements…), here’s a comparison of Clinton’s and Obama’s opening statements for the Thursday night CNN debate.
Obviously, in such short statements (Clinton, 104 words; Obama, 79) you ain’t gonna get any incredibly insightful […]

et al.: if things are as grim as they are here, the solution!

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Don’t know how things are in your neck of the woods, but here in the Hub of the Universe, it’s a cold, miserable, rainy day. My initial impulse was to put the blanket over my head and go to sleep (OK, I actually did for a while), but then my 12-yr. old turned me on […]

et al.: Google search

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Oops. Just checking my hit counter, and found that someone had clicked through after a Google search for  Stephenson scandal.  Ummm, none that I’m aware of….

et al.: desperate plea for help: please help me increase truthiness

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Yes, the rumors ARE true: my favorite Patriot (no, not those Patriots..) and erstwhile presidential candidate, Stephen Colbert, is now “following” me on Twitter.
A high honor, indeed, but one, dear reader, that entails effort on my part. I refer, of course, to the imperative that I increase this blog’s TRUTHINESS. Lord knows, I have […]

et al.: lest we forget why today is a holiday

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Lest we forget why today is a national holiday (not to mention MLK’s less-remembered leadership in opposition to the Vietnam War !)– and you can bet that if he’d lived, he’d be in the front lines of opposition to the Iraq travesty.

et al.: Site redesign courtesy of Lolinator

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

I belatedly realized, due to the good people at Lolinator, that my blog design was both “cat-hostile” and was poorly edited.  Now it’s been redesigned, and I hope that you (not to mention your cat) will appreciate the changes.

et al.: Oh happy day!

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

I’m so grateful: my son has returned from Iraq (of course, if McCain is elected, there’s a good chance that he’ll go back during the 100 years we’ll be involved there…), and starts at the Pentagon in strategy and policy on Feb. 1.
