A few items that somehow didn't seem to deserve their own post but are nevertheless worth passing along:
+ There's a smackdown going on across the river from me.
+ Bill O'Reilly doesn't understand why people think he is a racist. Worse, apparently none of his listeners bothered to complain about the things he recently said. CNN, however, took him on directly. And boy if that didn't cuase BillO to lose his mind.
+ Want to know what's in your TSA/Homeland Security travel files? Click here. I'm going to request mine. If anyone else out there does this, will you let me know what you get back?
+ Steve Fossett may be wandering around lost in Death Valley. If you have ever been to Death Valley, you know this is not good news.
+ I have no idea if this is accurate, but it sure is interesting! Not fun, but definitely interesting. But I wonder...no matter what I did my number of Earth's went up. Surely that can't be correct, can it?
+ People are not stupid. But they most definitely ignorant.
+ As you read this, keep in mind the fact that the peak of a massive way of adjustable rate mortgage trigger points, a vast majority of which are tied to sub-prime loans, hits in December and January. Happy holidays!
+ Classical economic theory would suggest that if enough events like this, this, this, this, and this happened, a new, more customer friendly bank would rise up to challenge Bank of America. If such a bank did not emerge, said theory would hold that the market was not functioning efficiently, and that as a result, government regulation might be necessary to improve market efficiencies. I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.
+ I like what Univ of Minnesota is doing here. More like this, please!
+ And last but not least...Using Google Earth, some intrepid explorers discovered that the US Navy owns a building that - when viewed from space, at least - is in the shape of a swastika. In a world where I had unlimited time, I'd do some archival work to determine if the designer did this on purpose. I'm sure the Navy was clueless. But the designer? Surely they must have had blueprints, right?
