SNL actually does something that’s funny
I haven’t been a particularly big fan of Saturday Night Live lately, but I think they hit a rare homerun with their “bailout” sketch this week…
Continue reading...Three physicists receive Nobel for work on particle symmetry
7. October 2008
Two Japanese and an American scientist have received the Nobel Prize in physics for their work on the underlying symmetry between subatomic particles. Basically, it involves looking for symmetries that aren’t readily apparent in the structure of quarks, the very smallest constituents of matter. This has significant implications in terms of explaining why antimatter doesn’t [...]

5. October 2008
The Community Reinvestment Act was designed to help lower income folks and people with bad credit buy homes. It required banks and other financial institutions to make credit available to the entire marketplace, not just those “safe bets” with substantial income. The result, a run on housing that caused a building boom of [...]

3. October 2008
Bill O’Reilly laid into Barney Frank on his show. They were talking about the destruction of Fannie Mae and Frank’s statements about it when O’Reilly got extremely angry and shouted down the Congressman… Interestingly, Congressman Frank is “involved” with a man who has ties to Fannie Mae… Unqualified home buyers were not the only ones who [...]

2. October 2008
I was a little bit worried about tonight’s debate after Governor Palin’s less than fantastic showing with Katie Couric, but I think she did very well tonight. It was a particularly impressive performance given the fact that the moderator is an Obama-supporter who is writing a book about Obama to be released in January. Did anyone else watching the raw [...]

2. October 2008
We may soon know for certain what happened to billionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, who disappeared last year in Nevada. The wreckage of his plane was verifiably found - crashed into the side of a mountain, and scattered over several hundred feet. Although most experts are almost sure he’s dead at this point, a survey of [...]

29. September 2008
Lost your job this week? Has your retirement account gone back in time 5 years? Well, you can thank Nancy Pelosi. Her speech today, laced with partisan attacks against President Bush and Republicans, is being credited with turning just enough Republicans against the House proposal to defeat it. Great job Speaker [...]

28. September 2008
China is now the third nation in the world - after the US and Russia - to have independently launched an orbital spacecraft, conducted an Extra-Vehicular Activity excursion, and then returned the craft and its crew safely to Earth. This is actually the third manned Chinese mission into space and their first mission involving a [...]

24. September 2008
Apparently, Barack Obama feels his campaign is more important than his work in the United State Senate at this critical time in American history. With our economy on the verge of collapse, and the Congress frozen in deadlock, Senator McCain announced today that he was suspending his campaign and returning to Washington to tackle [...]

24. September 2008
Earlier this evening, President Bush addressed a national audience on the topic of the current economic meltdown. In his speech, Bush gave a general overview of all the various factors that have taken us to where we are today. In general, it was one of his more effective Presidential addresses. The President resisted his [...]
