Some things never change

So, since yesterday morning I’ve been spending most of my time writing under pressure, as I had two (actually one and a half) days to respond to something the other side had weeks to put together. The judge saw things my way, which was a relief, but I’m really in no mood to bend my […]

Stephen Colbert exposes Siri’s bias

Monday I get my new iPhone 4s. I’m going back on my work plan, which I left because I couldn’t stand the Blackberry I was issued a few years ago, and I could get the iPhone relatively cheaply on a family plan. But now that Verizon has the iPhone, I can get one for free, […]

Rick Perry comes close to speaking

I know this is unfair to the girl from South Carolina, who after all is not running for president, but I couldn’t resist.

Wildlife in Noank

This seems to be our year for spotting relatively unusual wildlife. This comes, no doubt, from butting up against about 600 undeveloped acres, most of which is a state park.

My wife watched it just before they took it down, and, among others perhaps, alerted CTBlogger, […]

Colbert on extending the Bush Tax Cuts:

The Smartest Man on Television

Stephen Colbert leaves Mary Matalin speechless by simply telling her he’s going to keep score of every GOP talking point she uses: She literally can’t cope. It’s a bit strange, is it not, when the most incisive interviewers on television are alleged comedians?

What’s the poor farmer to do?

The New York Times reports that the price of seed is growing like corn in July: During the depths of the economic crisis last year, the prices for many goods held steady or even dropped. But on American farms, the picture was far different, as farmers watched the price they paid for seeds skyrocket. Corn […]
