Thursday

Manias and Ferguson Still no Charter Internet service. I'm getting close to playing "mean lawyer" and sending out the demand letter, but I'm not there yet. But just this for today: Last Saturday [https://thedailyeudemon.com/?p=14246], I mentioned that Niall Ferguson doesn&

Miscellany Blurb from Drudge [http://www.drudgereport.com/]: "During first 36 days of Katrina, Bush made 7 visits to Gulf Coast. . . So far on Day 36 of BP oil leak, Obama has made 1 visit to disaster area." The president doesn't need to go to a
