Follow the Trail Part II
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009In my previous post about health care reform, I suggested we follow the money to figure out why health care in America is so expensive and I pointed the knarled, bony finger of fault at trail lawyers and claimed that medical malpractice laws need to be reformed. I admitted that I could be wrong and [...]
Follow the Trail
Thursday, September 24th, 2009I listened to President Obama’s health care speech to Congress with interest and a little hope. There were some things I was hoping he’d say. He talked a lot about insurance and costs. Requiring coverage for preexisting conditions, something about employers having to provide health care, etc. Where I perked up was when he tipped [...]
Proverbs for our Current Economic Times
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009Actually, this proverb is for all economic times and should have been heeded before we got in this mess, but still… One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth – Proverbs 13:7 Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.

Gas and Food. Not that kind of gas.
Friday, August 1st, 2008Check out the video below. It is from Good Magazine and sums up the issue with gas prices and rising food costs very well. I think the issue is very timely during this election cycle. Corn is a poor choice for making ethanol, the cell walls are thick and harder to break down and it [...]
Here’s Money. Now Spend!!
Friday, May 2nd, 2008I got my tax rebate in my bank account today. Now, as I understand it, it was supposed to be $600 for me, $600 for my wife and $300 for a qualifying child. That would put my rebate at $1,500. What got deposited was $1,409. So what is that, $200 for the qualifying child and [...]
Never, No, Always Keep Records!!
Monday, April 28th, 2008An interesting mail run today. I got a GameCube game I ordered on Friday. Wasn’t expecting that so quickly. I got a check from the government. I found out that I had done my taxes wrong in 2005 and 2006 and so I submitted a 1040X to amend them and the check is from one [...]
The Perfect Gift…
Friday, May 4th, 2007Here it is. The perfect, and I mean absolutely perfect gift for the man who has everything. Nothing.
Boycott the RIAA in March
Friday, February 23rd, 2007Gizmodo is on to something here. The RIAA is trying to sue WiFi providers if people use their hotspots to download music illegally. This would have absolutely no effect on downloading music and would only serve to have free WiFi providers pull the plugs on their services for fear of being sued. It is a [...]
Too Zune? You Decide.
Wednesday, November 15th, 2006*Deep inhale* Microsoft has introduced the Zune, their MP3 player designed to rival the iPod. There has been some skepticism, but I think overall people are waiting to see. The promise of wirelessly sharing your music sounds appealing and it is one of the features Microsoft is banking on. Microsoft thinks they can win. There [...]
