Let me say this about that. I have been studying the current administration’s economic stimulus packages. Not because I don’t have a life and have nothing better to do. I am doing it because I have discovered a mathematical phenomenon that has been overlooked, not only by the general public, but by the Obama economic […]
Let me say this about that. Question: What happens when you mix good intentions with stupidity? Answer: A dumb idea. Dumb ideas abound in America, in part because we have a huge base of good-intentioned people. Regrettably, because we also have abandoned disciplining our children and allowed our education system to become little more than a government run baby-sitting service, we […]
Let me say this about. If there was ever a phrase that describes how I live my life, it would be: “Hell, I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do.” I must admit to an occasional spat of whining – I often decry the injustice I see in this world – I bitch when my […]
Let me say this about that. By and large, we are an educated and intelligent society. We have cognitive skills that allow us to figure out most of what we face in our everyday lives. However, to be fair, there are a couple of general topics which defy logic, such as religion, politics, and women. But these caveats […]
Let me say this about that. OK OK. Call me a deviate. Call me a pervert. Call me a dirty ‘ol man, but I still have sexual fantasies about Sarah Palin. The woman is simply a ‘total bisquit’. If Palin had run as Bill Clinton’s Vice President, we would not have seen the man for […]
Let me say this about that. All our lives, we have been fascinated by mythical creatures. It starts in childhood with fanciful characters like Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. As we get a little older, we add unicorns, Hobbits, and the Man-In-The-Moon. For the really imaginative, there are always the elves and the […]
Let me say this about that. I have always found it interesting how people earn their living. There are great jobs, crappy jobs, well paid jobs, volunteer jobs, temporary jobs, illegal jobs, any number of ways an average person can ‘pay-the-rent’. So, in the interest of keeping the LMSTAT readership current on some of the more […]
Let me say this about that. Last week, I wrote a blog about fine wines that cost under $20. I included the ‘under $20′ metric because the wine industry is rife with product intended to create the illusion of quality through inflated price. In truth, it is rare that a wine costing $20 has a […]
Let me say this about that. I will be the first to admit that the subject matter in the LMSTAT blogs are, at best, eclectic, and at worst, worthless mental regurgitations of a retired baby boomer with too much time on his hands. When one reaches his sixties, two things happen. 1) Not much embarrasses you. And 2) You don’t […]
Let me say this about that. On the whole, I believe many of America’s workers are under paid – based on the value they add, based on the profit they generate for their employer, based on the results they achieve. Conversely, I believe many Americans are grossly overpaid, based on the same criteria. If you […]
