I've never figured out exactly what "uppity" means, although I imagine if you feign an aristocratic English accent while trading food stamps for a bottle of "Night Train" you might be there.

My advice: Buy some oil and natural gas stocks. Avoid refiners and retailers, look at Canadian energy trusts and smaller firms that have buyout potential.

It doesn't hurt as much when you have a finger in the pie.

I buy up all the Spanish Christmas cards and even the Hannukah cards for 10 cents a box after the holidays. My friends and family know I'm more or less a non-theist and cheap SOB and just send them out for the nice thoughts they express.

Nobody ever picks on me. I am universally loved.

I like snarkiness when it is funny and clever and not intended to hurt anyone.

Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle used to play ball sometimes with a good alcohol buzz. I guess we should erase their records and memory of their achievements.

Originally made for John McCain after his "100 years in Iraq would be fine with me." remark, but I hope all the candidates can see the message of history, a long-term occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan will surely destroy us.

Years ago as an art student I attended figure drawing classes which often had nude models. The women and men who modeled were middle-aged and had the normal weight gain one would expect. Of course, some of us asked why we didn't have young beautiful models, and the instructor replied in a matter-of-fact way that young models weren't very interesting because they didn't have enough lines.

Hi John,

Thanks for your comments. I do envy you being in Europe, some of the best memories I have are from my days there.

While I didn't say things are good, I don't think it is as bad as Goldman Sachs and many media pundits are saying. Economists never predict the future, they predict the past.

Hi Bert,

Actually, most Libertarians argue that the Great Depression was caused by monetary contraction, which was the consequence of poor policy by the Federal Reserve System and free trade economists have concluded that the sharp decline in international trade after 1930 helped to worsen the depression and blame the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.
