Badger Beer Man
The Badger Catholic articulates some deeply Beer-Manish thoughts:
The problem with the modern man is that he thinks there is a disconnect from drinking and family. Look at the drunks in college now. They never learned what enjoying a beer was when they were growing up. The bar was "bad" and now because they find themselves in a bar they are being "bad" so they might as well be as "bad" as they feel inclined to.

PETA Pornographers
I love PETA. It's rare that you run into a person or organization that has absolutely no redeeming qualities.
The attention-hungry activists at PETA want to launch a pornography site that combines "a lot of girl and boy next door content" with pictures of animals being mistreated. Pending their application to the the operators of the .xxx domain, the animal rights organization wants to spread their message as widely as possible and isn't shy about the power of sex appeal. "We try to use absolutely every outlet to stick up for animals," PETA spokesperson Linsay Rijt told The Huffington Post, a site that's also known for manipulating the power of sex appeal. "We live in a 24 hour news cycle world, and we learn the racy things we do are sometimes the most effective way that we can reach particular individuals."

Go Mongolia, Young Man
From one of my investment newsletters:
"There are huge deposits of gold, coal, copper, crude oil, iron ore and more," says Chris, determined to keep our minds focused on the investing angle. "Last year, this country exported about $2 billion worth of minerals. But based on mining project startups, exports ought to grow to $20-80 billion per year."
"That's a 10-40-fold increase in a just a couple of years! Some $30-50 billion in new investment is set to flow to this $5 billion economy in just the next few years."
"Every time someone puts a hole in the ground, they seem to find something valuable," Harris Kupperman, CEO of Mongolia Growth Group, said in a recent conversation with Chris.
Kupperman is based in the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator. He sees even better values in local real estate and finance, which should benefit as people become more prosperous.
