A Shortage of Bad Bankers?

I fail to understand the concern over these bankers threatening to leave if they don’t get a big enough bonus. These are the same people that got us into this mess and it’s not as if there’s a shortage of … Continue reading

Just War or ‘Just’ War?

It’s interesting to hear the change in tone about the war in Afghanistan as Obama accepts the Nobel Peace Prize. When leaders start talking about a ‘just’ war, that’s a euphemism for ‘we don’t know how to get out so … Continue reading

iPhone Hangs Up AT&T

AT&T is a victim of its own success. Some iphone customers are hogging bandwidth and slowing down the network. It’s not all that surprising given the constant stream of new apps and a fixed monthly price for data. Their initial … Continue reading

This is my last post about Tiger…I promise. It’s just that his antics get more bizarre every day and the limericks just flow forth (you can find more limericks about Tiger over at my golf limerick site). It will be … Continue reading
