Endless Recovery Summer

Anyone else notice how bare the shelves are in the Toledo hardware store where Obama popped in? Empty shelf space indicates business isn't booming. (that's a total of 5 boxes of Miracle Grow behind the prez; one or two of each size)

And this stop on the (re)election campaign trail was intended to highlight economic recovery. Ha!

Weiner Hits the Fan

I've learned a lot of things reading Andrew C. McCarthy. Latest is:

I’m curious about the Congressman’s [Anthony Weiner's] claim that “ordinary citizens” can’t take their cases to the FBI. To the contrary, the FBI, the Justice Department, and several other federal agencies take computer crime very seriously...

...There are various federal statutes (e.g., Sections 1029 and 1030 of the federal penal code — Title 18) that deal with hacking and other forms of computer fraud (including what they call “access device” fraud). They are serious felonies and can call for imprisonment for over ten years.

See, I always suspected that the "federal penal code" covered this sort of conduct. Course everyone in Civics class was afraid to ask. (though, for some reason, we never tired of asking questions about Uranus in Science)

Bringing Down That Productivity Index

Here's a diversion. Search for anything. It will take your input, then output entirely unrelated results. I got to the Yodel Meter by searching for "13 inch scrubber pads".

Good for when you're tired of stories about higher gasoline prices.

Wake Up

Maybe just a concept: an alarm clock that shreds money until you get up.

I hate to say it but this concept was stolen from the federal government. They've been doing this for years; except that they shred whether you turn the alarm off or not.
