No Sports?
Badminton! From 2019. Women’s Singles Finals Men’s Singles Finals Women’s Doubles Finals Men’s Doubles Finals Mixed Doubles Finals I actually like playing this because as hard as you hit it the birdie flies slow so there’s plenty of time to think.

Readers, assuming I have any, may wonder why I’m not posting pieces from Stephen or Seth or Trevor or Sam. Or Saturday Night Live. Well, they make me sad. Not that they’re not funny sometimes but then I always feel guilty after. I don’t watch News much anymore either, it’s too painful. I do like …

Catalog of Doom
In a sense I’m overwhelmed with material so it should all be very easy. On the other hand it’s as depressing as Heck and my Therapist was expressing her concern. You know, I don’t even get paid. I do it for me and my Art and the presumptive audience who appreciates a little consistency. Nothing …

I mean, it’s clear that Mormonism bears the same relationship to Christianity that Islam does …

Pussy Galore
It’s a sad fact that Honor Blackman, known by me mostly for her work in The Avengers has passed away at the age of 94 due to causes they say are ‘unrelated to Coronavirus’. Well, truth is NYC and I suspect a bunch of other places have told their EMTs to pronounce on scene if …

About That Reserve Currency Thing
A few days ago I mentioned that the $US as World Reserve Currency had no rivals. I’m not quite sure why anyone ever thought the Euro could challenge but over a decade of unnecessary austerity and now the Coronavirus crash should disabuse any rational person of that notion. Last Chance to Save the Euro? By …

I guess Wall Street is happy Liz and Bernie are out but that doesn’t change the fundamentals a bit. 6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment last week, bringing the pandemic total to over 17 million By Heather Long and Andrew Van Dam, Washington Post April 9, 2020 The surge of job losses continued last week …

Mostly Bad News
So I’ve had a chance (and the will since what I actually want to do is crawl under a rock) to visit some of my Economic sites which are a catalog of Neo Liberal Fail. Ian is relatively positive (for him) and has been uncharacteristically productive. Geopolitics and the Economy After Covid-19 by Ian Welsh …
