Better Late…: A Review of Liar’s Poker by Michael Lewis
Liar’s Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street has to be the first book about the mortgage crisis that the United States is going through. I say this with some confidence, because it was first published on October 1, 1990. Yes yes, 18 years ago, but I swear to you it is the most [...]

The Root of the Problem, Counterfeit Debt
In other posts, I have written long expositions of why we are in a financial crisis. I have decided to write several short posts on the subject as well.
The root of the problem is counterfeit money. I’m sure that’s a statement worthy of a double take for most people, but it is true.
In today’s world, [...]
A Beginner’s Review of the Walkera 4#3B
I’ve been playing with my new Walkera 4#3B heli for around 6 days now, and I thought it would be useful to review it as a beginner. Later I will review it again when I have some experience.

This well-acted production takes no "chances" with the source material, Thornton Wilder’s 1930’s play, and contents itself with giving us the [...]

Oregon Shakespeare Festival Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Oh. My. God.
If you’ve already seen one or six productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream , and you’re thinking that you can skip this year’s production at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival … wrong wrong-y wrong wrong. Assuming you can still get tickets, buy two: one to see the show, and one to sacrifice to Dionysus [...]
Saturday Potpourri: Conservapedia via Another Blog
There’s a new blog* I encourage you to read, called Submitted to a Candid World. Let me tell you why.
Prior to this blog, my ‘net obsession was an amazing website called Conservapedia. I’m not going to try and cover every nuance of the site, as many others have already done the job. My own experience [...]
Oregon Shakespeare Festival Review: Othello
This year our trip to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival began with Othello . My experience with the play only goes so far as a reading and a movie, so I was excited to have a company I’m fond of introduce me to the work.
Well.
Many individual components of the production were very good. First and foremost [...]
Thanks for stopping by. :) I imagine the recent news caused more folks like me to do a little research, and your post comes up very early on google (so well done there!).
It's amazing, the things I'm learning about the big, ugly web out there, an
Well, except for me. I just expressed my opinion of the jerks, and now I find folks are linking to that rant. I hope all this attention means criminal charges and prison time for Mccolo's owners etc. In the meantime keep spreading the word about thos
Lisa McSherry mentioned that you're looking for additional bloggers and thought I might suit for reviews and Pagan articles. Shall we discuss possibilities?
Hey John,
Nice to see GU coming along. Your 'proposal' makes a lot more sense now that I can see it in action. Very interesting set-up. I'm monitoring my traffic closely post-election. Merging The Big Stick into a larger network may make more sens
Go 'Dawgs, indeed. Richt's successes are more than admirable, and I've missed the hell out of him at the offensive helm these last eight years. Should be a great game, but I give the edge to the 'Dawgs. Even though Tim Tebow once touched a blind
