I’m finding it amusing that activities such as poker and spelling bees are being covered so well by ESPN.
I suppose it’s only a matter of time until those sports are tainted by performance-enhancing anabolic steroids.
Burning your bridges behind you can be satisfying, but why procrastinate?
I’ll never be one
to deny
that I might be being
shortsighted,
but
as far as I can tell
all you need to know about “Twitter”
can be found

I tried a new dessert today: Lemming Meringue Pie.
Making it is easy: just follow the recipe, right over the cliff.

The slow learners running our petroleum puzzle game are at it again.
What they fail to realize is that Americans are on a zero-tolerance fuse these days.
In the old days, there was give-and-take with the price. It was a well-known secret: Gas went up when the summer holidays started, came back down when the summer ended.
But now there’s a psychological tipping point associated with the price of gas. It started out at about four dollars a gallon, but now I think it’s closer to two– between recession woes, sky-high unemployment, and the addtional debt loaded onto the back of the taxpayers, people aren’t putting up with any BS.
Every time the slow learners raise the gas price too far, too fast, or with too flimsy an excuse, a whole new clot of people decides to bite the bullet and trade in their SUVs and their pickups and their sedans, and instead buy gas-sipping motorcycles or scooters– or learn that renting an economical car for long trips isn’t all that bad– or just learn to do without.
In other words, once that chunk of demand is gone, it’s gone for good. It won’t be back in the fall just because the price of gas returned to normal.
That’s not a happy business model in anyone’s book.
