The Greg Oden Strategy – RIP DJ
Four games of his I’ve seen so far, and to pretend that there’s a small difference between the value of a 2007 #1 pick and a #3 pick is ridiculous. This guy has the size, hustle and talent on both … Continue reading

Shamrock Banks $100K
If John Brown had won, I’d have figured it was good luck to be whacked in the head with a dildo several times before a competition. As the last couple episodes of ego trip’s White Rapper Show (VH1) clearly showed … Continue reading

Jeb in ’08 – Numbers – Obama in ’02
I want to come out and predict that Jeb Bush emerges as the candidate poised to gather up the majority of Christian conservative votes at some point in this race, and perhaps winding up with the nomination. The Romney people … Continue reading

Portfolio B – Transaction Log
Update: NTES is really the stock I’ve liked most for a long time, and it is part of my holdings in both portfolios. I increased my stake in it today and it currently accounts for about 15% of the entire … Continue reading
Dizzy
The US Army’s Chief of Staff is asked (2/23/07) about the importance of capturing Osama Bin Laden: “I don’t know whether we’ll find him…I don’t know that it’s all that important, frankly.” – Gen. Peter Schoomaker Dick Cheney in 1991: … Continue reading

Walk It Off
Predictably the media has completely missed the point of this Walter Reed story (Part 1, Part 2). Everywhere I turn, the emphasis is on the rodent infestation and mold, yet the important detail they’re ignoring is that thousands of veterans … Continue reading

Portfolio B – $1.0M
The urge to inject new ideas using the portfolio I’ve posted on for about a year and a half goes against my desire to remain true to the game, so what I decided to do is start a new one … Continue reading
Clusterfucked
If you really want someone to feel like a piece of dog shit for a long time, then be sure to recommend that they earn money for college and gain job experience by enlisting in the United States Army. Once … Continue reading

Ass Clowns
I don’t think it would be possible to find a couple of chickenshit cyborgs more off base in their calculations regarding the Iraq War than John McCain and Hillary Clinton. Though perhaps in their respective cases it’s more repugnant than … Continue reading

Appeal For Redress
1270 active duty military personnel have signed the Appeal for Redress as of today. It was delivered to Congress, and I haven’t heard much about it since. A site (Soldier Voices Forum) that is run by an active duty soldier … Continue reading

Where Pugs Come From
Excerpt from ‘Designer Dog-Fights‘ – The New York Times Magazine 2/4/2007 – Jon Mooallem “Making purebred pugs is arduous and important business. The pug’s problem is geometrical. A century of selection for the standard’s “square and cobby” body has exaggerated … Continue reading

Howard K. Stern
Anna Nicole Smith marries this guy (or whatever they did), and in short time both she and her son are unable to manage their chemical consumption, both found dead of overdoses. For a lot of reasons, veteran FDA-approved drug heads … Continue reading

In a Big Country
Invested in this hyped stock with everything he’s got. Money, possessions, bodily organs and hope all down on the idea he had a few years back, developed over some serious unmet needs pertaining to relevance. How could he manage to … Continue reading
