 Sailing Under the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge

While partaking in the hotel’s free breakfast this morning, I saw a news report on the various tea parties held Friday to protest the feds’ stimulus plan. Since I was a captive audience (read: there was a sign asking guests to not remove food from the breakfast room), I got to thinking (always a dangerous thing). Whether [...] 
This notice has appeared on the Social Security Administration’s website: President Obama recently signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This act provides for the one-time payment of $250 to individuals who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security benefits. We expect everyone who is entitled to a payment to receive it by [...] 
I think Obama’s shifted a bit more into the “just another politician” column, rather than “possible agent of change”, in my book. Although frequently RedState is filled with rabid, spittle-slinging tirades, every once in a while a good point is made.

It looks like the first half of the year at my day job is going to feature my juggling several fun, but inconveniently timed, big projects. I fear that there will be more weeks like this one, where all sorts of articles worth sharing pop into my inbox, but I don’t have time to do them [...]

I haven’t written much previously because I was hoping to find some cohesion among several different points floating around in my head. Unfortunately, I’m in full scatterbrained mode. So, you get to [...]
I wrote too soon, it seems…. From the New York Times: Congress overwhelmingly approved a $168 billion economic stimulus program on Thursday, sending it to President Bush for his signature so that millions of Americans can look forward to government checks in the mail. The House gave its final approval to the package on Thursday night by a [...]
You would think that in a hotly-contested election year where the economy is a major issue, some politicians would be all over themselves trying to print up more money to just give away to their constituents. You’d also think that if there were any resistance to the idea, it would be the result of some politicians [...] |
