Miscellany Link to the PBS special, Niall Ferguson's The Ascent of Money [http://video.pbs.org/program/1155680272/]. * * * * * * * Ah crap. I was hoping we'd hold strong at $12 trillion: The U.S. debt will top $13.6 trillion this year and climb to an estimated $19.

An Hour with Faber

In lieu of an actual post today (see below), I'm posting this yet-unseen video. It's Marc Faber, giving a one-hour overview of our economy's huge problems. I say it's "unseen" because I haven't seen it yet. The folks

New Vehicle

Still no Charter Internet connection. Someone must've sneezed real hard on the system. Just this for today: An unbelievable 30-second clip from Nancy Pelosi about health care reform [http://www.huckpac.com/?Fuseaction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=3086]. It's "unbelievable" because, though I

Autobiographical Corner I spent the weekend with my son, Michael (11). Everyone else went to bird-watching camp with the Detroit Audubon Society, an organization, from my estimation, spawned by the devil with Medusa. My wife goes to spend time with her family. Even though I view her desertion an act
