Warren Buffett Now A Poster Boy For Income Disparities?
What is it about Warren Buffett that The Economist doesn’t like? Not only do they associate him with income inequality, they don’t even give him a credit in the footnotes. Plus, I don’t believe those are his hands holding that cash. This is a mash-up of the first degree, and I would support Warren in … Continue reading
What’s Better Than The Darwin Awards? Ig Noble

Because you need to frame and expose them so that the icons on your desktop … Continue reading

But before we get to multi-tasking, my original purpose was to review an audible.com book. “Audible” books are a great way to spend your time when you are already spending your time. It’s … Continue reading
On The Other Side Of The Table, That Would Be Me
I know great food. I can’t tell you what it is, but I know it when I eat it. The Supremes would approve. Normally, when people write about food there is a drop-dead gorgeous picture of a serving sitting on the plate. It’s always beautiful and mouth-watering.
