Floyd and I have had a running debate about the validity of the humanities in a University education. This article (and especially the comments), is a must read for anyone considering graduate studies in the field. It’s also entertaining and well written enough for those of you who are not considering that route. In [...] Eric recently asked a good question; if unemployment is so high why is the stock market doing so well? Like all things with the economy, the answer isn’t necessarily simple, but I’ll give it a go… First, it’s not at all uncommon for the stock market to do well when unemployment is high. The [...] He’s Nick Searcy, but you already knew that. Nick Searcy is a guest on “Red Eye” tonight (or early tomorrow morning, depending on your perspective). Set your DVR or VCR or, if you don’t have either, down a pot of coffee and watch it live!

This is the U.S. indoor championships and she’s running [...] I was going to post some highlights and link to the article (here’s a link, http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/01/28/gun-laws-and-the-fools-of-chelm-by-david-mamet.html) but the highlights became the entire article! It’s David Mamet so that should be no surprise. For those of you who like to engage in debate with folks, post this to your Facebook page and dare anyone to refute [...] I just used the Amazon link for some Christmas gift purchases. If Amazon has anything you need at a good price please do the same. Floyd, Outlaw, Wankette, Eric and the others receive no compensation for their work here; work we all benefit from. In years when such purchases don’t offset their operating [...] I wrote that I did not have a sense how this one would go. That’s not entirely true. I did have a feeling regarding the election. When I left church late Monday evening I had an eerie, disquieting feeling that we were on our own for this one. I am greatly disappointed with the [...] (I originally posted this on April 30th at Dirty Harry’s Place.) Reverend Jeremiah Wright has done a tremendous thing for this country. In the future Reverend Wright and his unapolegetic discourse on race may be viewed as one of the most significant, positive events in U.S. race relations since the ’60s… Share on [...] Go here to see more of his work!

“Tony Rezko does not live next door” (Originally posted November 3, 2008) This article in the London Telegraph has recently sparked a lot of discussion. I also think it’s important, but not for the reasons most folks are referencing it. For those of you unaware, Barack’s polygamous father was equally [...] (Originally published October 3, 2008) Use the comments to tell the vast, Threedonia readership what McCain needs to do in the next four weeks to win? Share on Facebook (originally posted October 7, 2008) O.K., we all know Palin is the fun part of the ticket; the roller-coaster ride. You’re never quite sure what you’re gon’na get, but you know it’ll be a thrill and she’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. Unfortunately, her time on the national stage in this campaign is over.

I like to try to predict these things; I’m a stats geek and these types of events are right in my wheelhouse, but I am sorry to admit that I can’t call this one. I simply don’t have a solid read on it. So, Floyd let me borrow the DeLorean for the [...] Megan McArdle raises a very good point here, http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/11/01/treat-the-symptom-not-the-measurement.html but I think she gets one, key thing wrong (more on that soon). First, what she gets right; if you measure percentages or marks on a scale there are always asymptotes on both sides. If you measure “household income” there will always be those with more [...] Although a bit older than me, this guy nails my attitude about Europe, http://pjmedia.com/michaelledeen/2012/11/01/letter-to-my-european-friends/ It’s a quick read and I recommend it. What so many people miss (most Europeans I have met and far too many young, “educated” Americans) is how important the fact that America is different is to the world.
