Dismal science
The White House will predict a $1.6 trillion U.S. budget deficit in the 2010 fiscal year, a fresh record and the biggest since World War Two as a share of the economy. Swell, just swell.
Like a slap in the face with a wet, semi-frozen flounder
So what? Don't let it bother you. Keep diggin', says Pepe.
Perils of slingshot fire hoses
Life is just too damn full of dangers lurking behind every corner. Especially in those Cantabrigian pseudo-squares.

Pissin' up a rope
Pepean Logik can't be challenged. It is what it is. Throwing Cartesian logic at it is futile.

VCP for Tecs
Jeroboam. Grande Dame. I didn't think these guys could back out of such a big decision. I hope locals keep pushing this kangaroo proceeding all the way back to Gitmo, and Obama all the way back to Hawaii.HuffPo gets around to reporting and comment on this.
REGURGE: Obama going back to dumb policy? (This article was posted before the other HuffPo one)

37 Years Later
In two weeks, the long exile briefly ends. It is time to disappear off the map. You won't mind. If in a month or so I do not reappear, celebrate your good fortune. It would be happier if Penelope was there, waiting with love, to make it easier to face a world gone to dogs. But it is still my Ithaca.

Memo to Wall St.: You get what you pay for!
How much money did these idiots shovel into 0bawa's campaign coffers? Schmucks.
This is so over the top
that I don't know what to say. Either Charles the lizardfucker has a point about Geller or it's time to give up on the USA for a coupla generations.
Barone wearing rose glasses
There's no way that an electorate as dumb as the Obamagirl are going to get the message and turn this around so completely. I also think it would be unwise to be so "smart".

Disquisitiones on the shysterly implications of E=mc^2
"This is someone who in law school worked with [Harvard professor] Larry Tribe on a paper on the legal implications of Einstein's theory of relativity," said senior adviser David M. Axelrod. "He does have an incisive mind; that mind is always put to use in pursuit of tangible things that are going to improve people's lives."
Why do you try to get out of teaching all the time, Tecs?
"In the 1950s by when Oppenheimer had become the IAS's third director, the Nobel laureate Feynman turned down a professorship at the institute. In his engaging and ungrammatical style, he was more convincing than Oppenheimer in explaining why. Said Feynman:
"When I was at Princeton in the 1940's I can see what happened to those great minds at the Institute for Advanced Study, who had been specially selected for their tremendous brains and were now given this opportunity to sit in this lovely house by the woods there, with no classes to teach, with no obligations whatsoever. These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves. Okay? So they don't get an idea for a while. They have every opportunity to do something and they are not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. and nothing happens. Still no ideas come.
"Feynman said that in his own infertile periods his students jerked his mind toward a problem by asking questions in the neighborhood of that problem. It's not so easy to remind yourself of these things. I find that teaching and the students keep life going and I would never accept any position in which somebody had invented a happy situation for me where I don't have to teach. Never."

What the hell?
I prefer Bayh to this Indiana Ron Paul. This sucks. Giuliani and now this. On second thought, I guess he wants to be Speaker of the House and thinks he has a choice come January or in 3 years.

Herr Rot tries his hand at estimates
The Gibbs phenomenon hard at work.[Added clarifying illus. -- roT]
Hey brilliant Tecs and AA
Make some money explaining to K-Lo why it makes sense to pull for Kerry when you're a seething righty!
Hint: Start with "No, no, no, it's nothing like voting for Brown because you want more HC"R" coming from Obamarama!"
