Poker

I’m a devastating player (as I am at most games, my family refuses to play with me anymore and TMC is the closest thing to a threat I’ve experienced in decades) because I understand the rules and exploit them. Hey, where’s your sense of accomplishment if you suspect I’m not playing to win? If you …

Groundhog Day

“Groundhog Day,” one of ek hornbeck’s favorite movies, is about a man caught in a time loop doomed to repeat the same day over and over until he examines his life and changes. Like Bill Murray’s character in the movie the US seems to be unable to move on from the bad tax policies that …

More Idiotic Things To Waste Your Money On

I own like 3 or 4 Ikea bags that I use for stupid things like sorting laundry and hauling around Monitors (won’t quite fit a 32″ which I just wrap in towels and strap into the back seat) and the reason I have them is that they’re strong, cheap, and ultimately disposable. They’re less expensive …

Well, show me the way to the next whisky bar. Oh, don’t ask why. Oh, don’t ask why. Show me the way to the next whisky bar. Oh, don’t ask why. Oh, don’t ask why. For if we don’t find the next whisky bar I tell you we must die. I tell you we must …

The Russian Connection: Roadblocks

It appears that the Senate Intelligence Committee probe into the Trump campaign’s connection to Russian interference in the 2016 election has the same problem of GOP obstruction that befell the House investigation. Michael Isikoff at Yahoo News reports that after all the show of camaraderie and cooperation by Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Mark Warner …

False Centerists

It is not a center position to promote a Neo Liberal philosophy of elitist Randian selfishness. The only reason Ivanka and Jared are approved by the Versailles Villagers is because as 7 Figure 1%ers they identify with them instead of the 99% of us.

Sumerian Cow Tokens

So what is the value of an Ur Cow Token? Sorry, I can’t get a market price for Ur per se so you’ll have to settle for a Sumerian one from around 1953 – 1935 BCE backed (and baked) by the Royal mint itself which in “very good” condition fetches around $1200 in Federal Reserve …
