Dark Matters Are Matters Dark
Astrophysics is fascinating, as science and as a field for intellectual battle. The ideas are rich and many, the observational evidence is thorny to make reliable and --comically --often falls in a twilight zone where little can be decided from it. As for experimentation, it is not clear that even the Gods can do so. Yet here we are, flies trapped in amber, carried along by this Whole Shebang.

Sunday Morning French Press...
As the autumn showers washed Bismarck this morning, I made a French press (w/ Starbucks great Pike's Place blend) and thought a bit about the state of Wall Street and D.C. There are legitimate Greed Captains in both places, and they command legions of Greed Lieutenants throughout the land. Greed Captains are a component of Humanity rather than being, say, the byproducts of what we know as Control-Market Communism or Free-Market Capitalism.
With that said, there is a bit of concern about the "lesson" any of these Greed Captains may have learned, especially after D.C. swooped in with bags of money (also see Good Old Boy Network). On the other side of it, we know the people at the economic bottom will suffer the most. We see this time and again, when a CEO drives some company into the ground and is "fired" with some massive compensation package, only to be hired aboard w/ a six or seven figure salary by some other company.
How, I ask myself, can I best get through to the Greed Captains to show them that crazed speculation (rather than just speculation) is not the way to do business? And especially with the money of others? And how can I get through to the American Neighbors in the Burbs who try and try again to keep up with the Johnson's and invariably get into unrecoverable credit debt?
Hal Tests the Turing Test Testily
The sample they give at the end is pretty disappointing. It's blood obvious who is man vs what is a program with tricks set up by programmers as to how cutesy they think a man would respond. And 5 minutes? Shit, you can barely time a few decent questions that way. Make it 30 minutes, you cojoneless geekos.
An Insightful View Into this BFeconomic Era
The author is very rational, very sane, yet he must be mad if he thinks that governments will ever willingly surrender their favorite pastime of seeking to engineer the social world in their image.

Premier Manager Shows NFL Pussies How A Real Dick Does It
Kinnear, even if he does have a piss poor footballing squad, enters into the FCP Hall of Fame. Can we give him an honorary doctorate?
Damnation, Gadhan GoatBoy Yet Lives
I was really kinda hoping his silence was the silence of the roadkill. Let's send Kayla to fuck him to tears.
Sowell Asks JJ's Question
It's not just rhetorical, and it has an answer:
On Planet Pepe facts don't matter diddlysquat. They, like peasants, only mess up the Joy of Aristos.

Clustrmaps is Back
But, since AI(zheimer) couldn't remember his pwd there, I had to re-up. So, as they say in Church, sicut erat in principio. BTW, the old acct at least was not counting correctly. I had seen days with 25 hits counter and about that many comments and posts added. Seemed impossible. I would like to switch to statcounter.
Kurtz Goes Upriver on Hudson-on-Pravda
"The Horror, the Horror" mutters Le Pew, and prepares to send out his "messenger boyz" to do the Extreme Prejudice tango on Kurtz's ass.
But of course Stanley has it right. The Grey Old Lady is shamelessly whoring for Baracky, and Pepe is now her John. Ain't she a Beauty?

The Problem is the Captain
...not the First Mate.
A shame. In 2000 he would have made a first rate Captain. Instead we got a choice between the Gory Harvard Gerbil and the Boneless Yale Chimp. And that ship has now sunk.
"But it’s not enough. Palin may have enabled McCain to live to fight another day – and if he were to win, it would be in large measure because she energised that otherwise stay-at-home base -- but she cannot win this thing for him if he doesn’t pass muster."
Rectifying the bullshit
If it wasn't for the MSM, who would shoot that pathetic swift-boating attempt?
JJ tries a new investment strategy
[He] recently bypassed the stock market for liquid assets -- $120,000 in champagnes. He bought 400 bottles, mostly 1996 vintage, that he says he plans to "sit on" for 10 or 15 years and then sell at a profit. "It sure beats looking at a Merrill Lynch monthly statement. The worst thing that could happen is that I drink all of it."
Biden reads a page from Hillary
cry when you need a break. How distasteful. Meanwhile, Peggy atones.

How the Mighty Have Fallen
No,not Palin getting Borked and Sorosed by PP's MSM.

AI gets Dunn Graded
"Gibson is supposed to have demonstrated the case [against Palin] through asking questions about matters that he himself does not understand. Most irritating are the conservative writers wailing counterpoint to this melody.
They may be right. But as we've seen, it's not likely."
AI, do we see a pity "C" on the horizon?
"Palin has gained her experience where it counts. Not in the Ivy League, not at the think tanks, not in the Senate. But down in the trenches, where life is for real, and the work gets done because it must be done. There is no more common figure in American history than the "unprepared" backwoods politician who steps forward in the midst of crisis. From Lincoln through Truman, there is no end of them, at all levels of the political sphere."
But then what would the Anti-American Eagle do without Harvard Men like Baracky Obama, and El Gore, and Toady Kennedy to lead the Way to Perdition?

So, is England about to adopt No PP Shibboleth Left Behind? Or is just the Left blowing out of its collEtive Behind?
Giving up?
Hey, JJ, I thought Michigan was competitive this year, no? At least, it woulda been, if someone else were on the ticket, even in the #2 slot.
China Invades Connecticut's Yankee...
First they screw up with the cat and dog food, then the lead paint with the toys, then the baby formula, and now the Chemical Candy in Connecticut.
