How to Become a Millionaire
Work hard, don’t spend, invest well. Best analogy I’ve ever read: An Indian lying on a mat in Calcutta has more wealth than the average American. While an American may live better, he lives on credit, and all things considered lives most of his life paying off accumulated debt. The man on the [...]
Fred’s Message to Iowa Voters
Bit long for my tastes, but then again it’s not made for 18-30 year olds… it’s made for 55 and older crowds. In that respect, this is pretty effective. The production of the video alone Fred Thompson alone answers the “Is Fred Thompson presidential?” question… classic Address to the Nation stance. This is actually worth watching if [...]

So You Want To Play Violin (Again)….
Guess what I got for Christmas? I used to play violin when I was younger, though not extremely well. Still, being able to play a musical instrument is one of those things that every cultured individual should be able to do (speaking or reading at least one other language is also in this category).

Netscape R.I.P. (1994-2008)
That’s right… it’s going away.

The Gospel According to Frank Capra
Probably the most fascinating article I’ve read all year: This is why Frank Capra, contrary to popular opinion, is one of the most challenging of all filmmakers and in some ways the most disturbing. Most “serious films”—the “hard-hitting” “uncompromising” films—ask us only to accept, for example, that poverty is bad, relationships are hard, that politics is [...]
Where the Government Spends Your Money
Here’s the 2007 statistics. Note the cost of entitlements (Unemployment and Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security): That’s 58% of the federal budget… not counting the billions spent on the U.S. Department of Education. Anyone else willing to make the argument that we need more government?
