Deadline, debtline

Deadlines are good. They force you to do things. But are these accomplishments? One does so many  foolish things because of deadlines.
This guy runs and catches the bus at the stop. He yells. Done This is it. Go.
 The conductor angrily shouts back: Why do you say done, when it is not yet done. Only when I say done, it is done.
Done'

a day at the races,nation's trifecta

Politics and democracy in action, totally enjoyable. All this theater, with hourly winners and losers. Falling stars in american politics. Or stars in falling America. Is this the culmination of the democracy  sold around the world. Here and there, the  extremists are the winners. Freedom for  the religious zealots, the haters, the elephants in must running toward each other.

Face Lift

At the National Press Club., Bachman was asked what political issue conflicts with her religion. Smiling and shrugging , she said 'Taxation". Was it humor? or simple honesty? Or just simple. Face lift to God or just face lift?

drop debt

beautiful NY Post headline. Reminiscent of the Daily News' in 1975
Not sure though, to whom it was addressed. The reader?

politics as a profession

he said, she said
No DEAL
Politicians cannot get a deal? US politicians? Striking dubious deals is their profession. They pledged? Come on? Since when a pledge matters? In a two party system you need to eat your principles, swallow your philosophy. Integrity is not expected.  Only extremists have integrity.

Negotiating CircUSA

owners and players, republicans and democrats.  Do they keep in mind that the show must go on? Two rings circus show.
And do they know that if everything fails one can always serve Pinot Noir?

20th century mustaches

Hitler  wins. After recount. It is interesting that Stalin killed more people on nationalistic than political grounds. What about Mao? Didn't have a mustache.

bellies no more

Pork bellies future trading is finished. No more. Why? Frozen bellies are out of favor. Well, we are left with gold...

de-fox-ication

maybe, maybe we will  clean our sheets. our very dirty sheets from being in bed with all these politicians. Why do I say WE? feel also guilty because I enjoy the NY Post everyday with my lunch. Or maybe this is because they just raised the price by a full quarter....

My blog

Why do people save their own pictures? Roi ne puis, prince ne daigne. Eske je suis...

Ukraina & me(mories)

My first woman was Ukrainian. She was pure and just wanted love. Much too much, of course. She was an Old Believer and spoke a language only few could understand.

circUSA

All this political dancing around cutting the deficit is a circus show. Circus show where the gladiators do not die at the end.  The spectators do. Thumbs up means death.  (Fox News would argue that thumbs down means death, just to establish a fair balance.)

Democracy of ideas

Truth is an idea well advertised.
Those who do the advertising become the experts in the matter.

Dense

matching algorithms

There are patterns, of course. Looking for the algorithms of matching people  Looking for a rule?  What should one maximize? Life is like rugby...played by people of all size and speed.

cultural jinx

Was talking the other day to a Wharton educated businessman and used "bad eye" in the conversation. He asked me what was a bad eye. It was not my bad accent. Oh. come on! Devising business strategies without knowing what what a bad eye is.

sexciting or sexcited

So? was there a case? The blogosphere might be driven  by sex and dirty stuff. But a district attorney? Who would believe that a major socialist politician would behave aggressively towards a chamber maid? A French socialist leading the world finance's? A man with a woman first name and a Sephardi  Jew with a Germanic last name. raping  a Muslim?...  Me and everybody else.  But a DA should not get excited longer than the first hour. DAs should not seek fame or votes? This one made some correction at least.
