Here’s my top ten list of things I hate at the end of every year. 1. Top ten lists.
The euro currency area has only a one-in-five chance of surviving in its current form over the next 10 years because of competitive imbalances between its members, a leading British think tank said on Friday. The Center for Economics and Business Research said Spain and Italy would have to refinance over 400 billion euros ($530 [...]
The Eastman Kodak Company announced Monday it would retire Kodachrome, its oldest film stock, because of declining customer demand in a digital age. It was the world’s first commercially successful color film, immortalized in Mr. Simon’s song in 1973: “They give us those nice bright colors. They give us the greens of summers. Makes you [...]
I pretty much started my new “diet” the day after my birthday, not wanting to spoil my birthday steak dinner plans. So today is day 11 of my serious attempt to modify my diet. Here are some observations… Yesterday morning I weighed myself on my bathroom scale with my pajamas on and weighed exactly 200 [...]
So, I’ve been looking at stats for the Broncos for the 2010 season so far. With one game to go, the Broncos are pretty much undeniably the worst team in the AFC.

Tebow’s stats were again relatively pedestrian, but it was his first 300 yard passing game and he completed one TD pass and ran for another in [...]

On Monday night’s edition of “Hardball,” host Chris Matthews talked about putting the birth certificate controversy surrounding President Obama to rest. “Why has the president himself not demanded they put out the original documents?” Matthews wonders. “If it exists, why not put it out?” Chris Matthews asks. via RealClearPolitics – Video – Chris Matthews: Why [...]
Here’s a chart showing who pays federal taxes by income level. When people say that the rich “do not pay their fair share” you can pull this out. Apparently no other major western country has such a huge portion of their tax revenue come from such a small minority of tax payers. If the top [...]
