Ok, so I this morning I do my usual quick check of the Drudge Report and what do I see? PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMY And all I can think is – she and all her buddies on the hill can always commit suicide. Now that WOULD help
It sounds strange to a lot of people that both deflation and inflation are being talked about right now as if they could possibly happen at the same time. If inflation is rising prices, and deflation is falling prices, how could they happen at the same time? In fact, there
I really am feeling these days that I am living in a matrix. Not just a system created by elites… a real cosmic joke. The absurdity here of course is that it took a ban on FOX HUNTING for the British people to realize that they wanted their guns back.
Laying in bed this morning I realized just how insignificant I am to the vast majority of living creatures. Of course, there are a few among them to whom I am extremely significant, but if you were to consider them percentage wise, they wouldn’t even register. The number would be
Cryptogon is an excellent news site which I highly recommend to anyone who would like his news pre-filtered for importance.

As I mentioned before, the Generalist is undergoing a big reorganization and upgrade right now. As the upgrade progresses, new sites will be coming online that will explore some of the topics covered here, but in more detail. I recently launched Learning Languages where you can access a nifty tool
I’ve had this little Canon PowerShot SD850 IS for a little over a year now. I bought this little camera with a particular purpose in mind. I wanted to have a camera with me at all times, especially when I was out for a walk; something lightweight, something so that
At this point, it’s worth taking a look at what happened in 1929. If you’re not yet familiar with this chart, let’s just say that you probably will become familiar with it over the next few years. This chart is from Yahoo. Click the image to go to Yahoo’s Finance
Yes, I know. They are poisonous and you will drop dead if you so much as swallow one. NOT! In fact, I believed this fallacy since the time I was a small child. Many times throughout my life I wondered to myself how in the hell more people didn’t drop
This was pointed out to me by someone noting the Obama signs in the yards of neighbors. Not only do I doubt very much this is a coincidence, but even if it was, one would imagine that the distaste alone would be enough to crush Obama’s campaign. That it doesn’t
