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.

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 …

Langa Frigedæg
Oh it means Good Friday in Old English and it’s still used in Scandinavia and Finland. I don’t actually feel obligated as an Atheist to destroy any particular belief system and don’t go out of my way to do it. 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 …

And Counting

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 …

The Importance Of Ignorance
All hail the Great God Mammon! Bow before Him! Sacrifice your Children and Elders that you may experience His Bounty! Yeah, this is about Money again. Get over it. Money is a mechanism for facilitating Trades. That’s it. The Neo Liberal Elite think you can’t handle the notion so it’s best to keep the Peasants …

Navy Language
I have been reliably informed by an Online Test (and you know how accurate those are) that I swear like a Millennial and it’s true I’m on a constant lookout for new words and ways to string them together. The temptation to use another title more descriptive of Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly …

What Passes For Normal
I must admit my primary reaction to John Oliver’s piece this week on One America News is thank goodness it’s not about Coronavirus.

Essential Workers
Parents and other people with replacement humans in their lives (fortunately not me since I’ve no place for the leftovers) may rejoice as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand has declared the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny ‘Essential Workers’. Easter Bunny and tooth fairy are ‘essential workers,’ New Zealand prime minister says by …

Let’s Do Some Maths, Shall We?
Even the most conservative estimates suggest that eventual exposure to Coronavirus is inevitable for 90% of the population here in the United States. Now, it’s not Pancreatic Cancer and Doctors can help but you’ll probably be very, very sick and you could die. What we are doing now with the Social Distancing is attempting to …
