It has been a few days since I have posted here and not for a lack of things to comment about. In fact, I have made a note of something to post about at about a rate of two-three per day. Obviously I have been a bit pushed for time the last couple of weeks. So, with that in mind and feeling that I really wanted to get some of this out there an almost random observations, though a good number of them are from the political arena. After all, the presidential race for 2011 got an official kick off in the last couple of weeks and that is always such a promising field for fodder coming from my mind as candidates say and do some surprising (and often dumb) things.
I had a conversation with a good friend of mine the other day regarding thoughts on the economy and specifically what appears to be an impasse regarding the so-called Bush Era Tax Cuts. Knowing my own stance on the issue is a little bit torn, I found it ironic that his stance was as well. Fundamentally, during the conversation, it occurred that we both are largely believers in the idea of supply side economics. We both, however feel that in the current continued stagnant economy that it is not working. Interestingly though, we found a compromise that should make everyone happy.
I have not had a good list of those little observations in a long while, partly because most things of late have been a longer post. However, I have come up with several shorter pieces of information to share over the last few days. They range from some comments on the Nobel Prize for Physics concerning the invention of a graphene to the tea party’s hijacking by the likes of Glen Beck and a very personally disappointing Sarah Palin. Somewhere in between there will be some comments on about how I think Toyota got a raw deal from the government regarding the recall, but that really goes back to September. Mixed in there somewhere will be a little bit about the FreeCycle concept what I think is wrong with it working as well as it should.
Same old news. We are not as bad as we think we are – yeah, right. And things are turning around. Beyond that though, the guy ran on making a major change in Washington is now willing to settle for a subtle difference.
