The time is right, the choice is right, it’s an easy decision to make: Wes Clark for President.

He understands the priorities and throws himself into […]
Craig has started an interesting discussion about the legality and ethics of those campaign signs that popup every year (sometimes twice a year for primary elections) and always seem to take too long after an election to disappear.

I just got back from a fundraiser for Sharon Pandak hosted by Beth and Bruce Roemmelt. Food was very good, the people were awesome, Sam (the Airedale Terrier) was his usual curious self, and Sharon spoke eloquently about the issues she expects the board of county supervisors will face.

Apparently David Swensen manages Yale’s investments for it’s endowment fund, and he’s been doing an incredible job of it for over 20 years. He has some pretty sound and practical advice for investors up on the NPR website and a book […]
I have always been a Squirrel Nut Zippers fan, they make some great swing and quickstep music. I just discovered they are good at adapting their music to meet the needs of the day with “Have You Had Enough?” It takes a minute to get to the words of the song, but you’ll like it. […]
