  1. Abandon All Hope: An Overview of the US Budget Crisis

    by , 07-23-2011 at 05:27 AM (Discussions with Friends)

    My fellow Americans,


    I don’t know about you, but I am a bit tired of hearing people say that, if they were president, they could fix the budget woes in a year or two. They would only need to cut taxes here or add a program over there. How we all wish it was so simple. The fact is that the US budget is much more complex.

    in Just-
    spring when the world is mud-
    luscious the little
    lame baloonman

    whistles far and wee

    and eddieandbill come
    running from marbles and
    piracies and it's
    spring

    when the world is puddle-wonderful

  3. Rich? Defined...

    by , 07-10-2011 at 10:12 AM
    Before I can compare and contrast how the wealthy live, we need to define what 'rich' is.

    If you have some duct tape, sodium pentathol and the right accountants, the answer is easy. Unfortunatley, for this little thought experiment, I don't have access to financial records.

And did I mention that this was sanctioned by the professor? The succeeding weeks came out fine, and I was trotting along the lessons with a fair amount of ease, not that these lessons were easy.

Is it normal to question every parenting move you make? I am so concerned that ...
