Go To RWN

Filed under Weblogging

Today, in SE Wisconsin, the weather was cold. You’d think since I’ve lived here most of my life, I’d be used to it, but even us tundra tribemen know that warmth should arrive by the end of May. No such luck yet. It was the kind of day where you just want to […]

Still No Weapons Found

Filed under War
Comments Off

It’s not encouraging to hear a general in Iraq calling the threat of chemical attack by Saddam to have been “simply wrong.” Tony Blair may tell me to have patience, but something, some evidence of chemical or biological materials should have been found by now.

Hope Turns 100

Today’s Bob Hope’s birthday. Many thanks should go to a very funny man who devoted so much time to entertaining our soldiers here and abroad. One World War II veteran wrote to him, “We are grateful we had someone who cared enough to come to the danger zones. You deserve to be an […]

Dems Defend Daschle

Filed under Politics
Comments Off

When Democrats have to make an concerted effort to protect the political viability of their number one Congressional leader, you know they’re in trouble. Only 17% of Americans have a positive view of Sen. Tom Daschle (D-SD). With that number, he’s the Newt Gingrich of the Dems.
“Democrats Rally Behind Embattled Senate Leader“

NY Times Wants Your Money

Filed under Weblogging
Comments Off

A nice thing about the NY Times (maybe the only thing since you can’t trust their reporting, and their columnists are shrill, knee-jerk anti-Bushies) is their News Tracker service. Say, you want to keep up with all the Times stories on taxes. Just sign up for News Tracker (located on the side of […]

Filed under Economics
Comments Off

It’s been a long time since I did any statistical regression analysis, but today’s stock market closing makes me wonder if there’s a correlation between price changes and dividend yields of Dow Jones components. If someone would like a crack at it, they would get plenty of TAM exposure. Along with that, the […]
