Halloween’s here though I was bit disturbed with the rather nasty effigies of Palin and Obama getting hanged that I’ve seen in the news. It’s just mean for no good reason. Common, they haven’t really screwed up anything yet. Here’s a candidate match up test. It was built before the primaries so it includes the…

I watched all the debates and was underwhelmed. Except for the third one, all they did was repeat the same sound bites and talking points they’ve been giving at their rallies. To his credit McCain did drop the bomb that he was going to call for a spending ‘freeze’ which to me is a good…

Today was the 1 year anniversary of a historic high of the Dow Jones Industrial average. Lots of fools and novices selling off their stocks out of fear. Look on the bright side there’s lots of stocks that are cheap now, like GM and Citibank. Giselle is doing well. More sonogram photos and a video…

It’s a quiet day in New York. It’s September 11th and I remember that morning 7 years ago when Giselle and I heard the news. We had just started living in Hawaii. Now we live just across the bridge from Ground Zero. What’s sad is that the rebuild of the site and 9/11 memorial is…

I’m glad the Dems and GOP national conventions are over. They’re such a wasteful rah-rah fest. I’m waiting for the debates. The nomination campaigns have been so long and heated that I can’t help feeling like the national election are a bit of a denouement. Me, I’m for Magneto. The baby’s growing nicely, though no…
