"Hi Da.1. Peggy Noonan's Home Run
[pause]
This is Ty.
[pause]
Call me back. I need to talk to you about this pumpkin situation."
- Ty voicemail, to protest that we weren't going to carve pumpkins here at the Castle... hey, he already did them with his mother. Ty wins and I'm headed to pick him up right now.
Must admit... not a big Peggy Noonan fan over here.
But what a home run this article is in today's WSJ:
It's a two-pronged argument:
- We see so much illogical, irrational behavior these days. You know my current top 2: global warming nonsense and socialized medicine. Both of these are massive land grabs by the feds for no apparent sensible reason.
- But people aren't worried or serious about this stuff because America is the golden goose. You don't have to be serious because shit has always worked out in the past.
But I'm investing, nimbly... to accommodate this, the era of shenanigans.
2. Net Neutrality
Here's a good article supporting net neutrality. It's written by the guys who run Mozilla, creators of the Firefox browser. Net Neutrality: Spur to Entrepreneurship
The Firefox boys are convincing. The principle behind their argument is solid and QOTD2
QOTD2
"The principle that any "bit" of information is treated the same as any other bit is a defining characteristic of the Internet; it is a central aspect of the design that has lead to the unprecedented impact of the Internet on our lives."Happy Halloween!

Excellent!
peace... yow, bill
QOTD3
"People are work, brother. A lot of work. Too much work."Movie: "Sea of Love"
- Al Pacino in "Sea of Love"
Review: 4 bill-stars (out of five)... very good
Pretty basic. 3 bill-stars for the movie + 1 for Ellen Barkin. Mercy!
Ellen Barkin is 55 now, and I can't find a decent picture of her not all plastic-surguried up. Dop.
