Two weeks in a row an economic report, first on jobs, then on retail spending, smashed expectations, only to be simultaneously dismissed as a positive trend and used as an excuse to raise interest rates. Two weeks ago, the moribund United States job market received a much needed jolt, when the May report from the… Continue reading When good news is bad, the wisemen are all fools once again
Why would a man that’s supposed to be desperate beyond belief to end hostilities with any kind of deal, refuse one that was on the table, and make a reasonably big show of going back and forth about it? According to conventional wisdom, President Donald Trump is desperate to make a deal with Iran. Like… Continue reading Is Trump really desperate for a deal in Iran or is time much more on our side than widely reported?
Top Democrats are rallying around a Senate candidate with a Nazi tattoo, a long history of engaging in various sexual proclivities, and various other issues that make him somewhat Trumpian in the worst possible sense of the term according to his detractors.

Has there ever been a useful, time saving technology we simply stopped using or have we tended to simply keep complaining while using it? If recent polls are any indication, Americans… Continue reading The irony underlying widespread opposition to AI and its equally widespread usage
We might fault the wolf for fighting a losing battle, but there is something to admire in their tenacity compared to the dog, which is all too eager to beg for a meal rather than obtain one on its own. Though wolves and dogs share enough DNA that they can successfully mate, producing offspring that… Continue reading How humans have gone from the equivalent of wolves to domesticated dogs in just a few generations
Whatever some may claim, it doesn’t take any particular genius, athletic ability, or stamina to boil a pot of water, roast a chicken, and toss a salad, and the difference between the cost of dining out or ordering in matters enough to purchase a luxury automobile over the years. Earlier this week, Shark Tank’s Kevin… Continue reading Cooking at home versus eating out, life lessons from a middle class man whose most agonizing decision is what Porsche to get next
We are present around the world, in every ocean, in some lakes, even on dry land. We are an old, proud order having shared the world with the dinosaurs 200 million years ago, but some of us aren’t even true crabs.
