Because there is just so much love over at Daily Kos, I try to link to them whenever possible. (Madness.) So when they deliver (via Reddit) some FOX on FOX satire (Madness), I just have to give them a shout out! Hilarious if you love and/or hate The Simpsons and/or love and/or hate FOX […]

Do Koreans do better in their public schools because the dumb ones don’t get into the statistics? This guy explains “Simpson’s Paradox“.

This woman says some of the things that a man just can’t say, like how men have been deprived of their reproductive rights, and how two parents really are better than just a mother. [WARNING: profanity] I laughed out loud. I’ve been accused of misogyny before on this site, and this link won’t […]

I went to Rabat today, the capital city. We mostly spent time in the “MegaMall”. It was nice, but expensive. I went ice-skating, bowling, but most importantly, ate 2 triple cheeseburgers at a Quik and took home a large hamburger pizza from Pizza Hut. Almost took home two, but Pizza Hut has […]

Everything you need to know about investing in 129 words. By Scott “Dilbert” Adams, edited by Paul Ferrell.  Nine steps.  The comments are interesting, with some profanity, and some regular forum fighting.  I need to write a will this week.  Some people don’t like number 8, but it makes sense to me, except […]

From a small rural library in central Florida with a very worn keyboard (keeeeeysss stiiiicck) and 800 x 600 monitor (”the letters are so big!”), I read on Peter Krupa about the ArmsControlWonk, who has some good data and insight about North Korea’s FAILED nuke test Sunday night.  The news I’ve been reading on my […]
