Ownership Rules
My reaction was “because they own it… because they fucking OWN IT.” Duh. End of discussion. “Stakeholders”? That’s always been utter bull.
People respond to incentives?

Middleborough goes all small town, makes ass of itself.
Grabbing this from Daily Pundit, because I’m way too fucking lazy to bother with a local news source. Also, I like his take on it. I thought we’d outgrown these stupid wanna-be moral crusades...

Atlas Revisited
Had a rare interlude of TV available without kids and not needing/wanting to do laundry, dishes, etc., which led me to discover Atlas Shrugged Part 1 was on Netflix. So I watched it again. Went t...
Looking Forward to This!
Except it still seems a little weird having Atlas Shrugged updated to be set in modern times, and the characters don’t look much like my mental images. Reardon, to whom I most relate, comes clo...
Link Dump 2
Continued from and explained in Link Dump 1. Schoolhouse Barack Eggless batter for deep fried shrimp (works nicely for chicken, came out just like Chinese chicken fingers but that Henry can eat, ...
Happy Birthday
To Deb’s father! And a buncha other people, like my friends and former colleagues Rich and Steve, former President George W. “LBJ” Bush and thanks for making Barack Wilson Nixon-Carter poss...
Poll Results
No not like this poll or that poll, but one of those periodic Right Wing News polls of bloggers I sometimes participate in, as I did this one. Speaking of those polls, McCain was all over the map...
Smart Enough to Vote?
Ah, but are any of them smart enough to be President? Easy questions in this quiz, IMHO, and not necessarily all relevant… You Should Be Allowed to Vote You got 15/15 questions correct. General...
Equal Opportunity Polling
I did a poll of who Barack Obama would be like in practice as President, which was fun and snarky and all, but why leave McCain out of it? Looks like on the other one I neglected to point out tha...

Presidential Poll
No, not who will be elected, but who you might expect Barack Obama to remind you of should he be elected. Annointed? Sprung forth like a mighty oak from a mere ACORN? Anyway, for your amusement�...
Election Dementia
There seems to have been a real ramping-up lately of the stupid in these parts. I notice it most in how aggressively people are driving…it’s been bad, even for around here. I see it in the cu...
Bailout Poll
John Hawkins did a flash poll, in which I participated, on the bailout. Interesting results, more skewed than I had expected. The last question, though, looks like people answered based not on wh...
Late Night Quizzes Saved for Morning
Your Issue Profile: 24% Obama, 76% McCain When it gets down to it, you tend to best match John McCain. But he’s not the perfect candidate for you, and you may not be sold on him yet. Obama shar...

Darth Spitzer Returns
One of our favorite villains, Elliot Spitzer, may have helped create the AIG situation. Go Spitzer!
Official Shit List

ComneyCare
I have decided to call the communist state health plan by the evil Mitt Romney and gleeful Democratic legislature, commonly known as RomneyCare, ComneyCare for short, so I don’t have to write o...
Lopsidedly Hypothetical
There’s another Instapundit poll I just had to point to because the results are so fascinating (and it’s an interesting question, which I’d love to see the results of if the 1st place finis...
