FORMER ENRON ADVISOR Krugman insists that he's just fine with this brave new world

FIFY

4 I think that universities started failing when they gave into the students, late 60s early 70s. I think the problem is not that the schools became job training platforms, but because people came to believe that the schools were there to cater to them, and that they should then be catered to with a job. That the world owed them something even if all they bothered to learn was womyns studies or whatever. I mean, I studied engineering, that made me an engineer. If you major in African American studies, does that make you an African American?

5 but you're not unhappy enough about it to embark on an exercise regime, either.

speak for yourself, dude.

6 I might be fine with electrolytes on the fence; then, again, I might not be. Don't want to offend.

7 Creative Destruction, Baby!

Schumpeter said some cool stuff.

8 You keep using the word "unthinkable."I do not think it means what you think it means.

Unless by unthinkable you mean "about to actually happen."

Great kitteh pic, btw ... mature cat gives young buck a no-doubt richly deserved beat down ... that's the way of the world right there ....

9 We keep saying Europe is about to collapse but they keep hanging on. probably because we here in the U.S. are sending them printed dollars further debasing out own currency.

Not only is the fed bailing out cities and bankrupt States, but it is bailing out Europe as well. All that we are insuring here is that everyone will collapse at once, thus making the crash that much harder. 

10 DOOM: Now with electrolytes!
All the better to shock you with my pretties!!  Aah ha ha ha ha!!!!

You know how I know SSDI is zooming toward the edge of the cliff?  It's not just because of the Boomers.  It's because of people like Stanley "I'm an adult baby" Thornton.  You remember him, I'm sure - the fat slob who gets SSDI because of his "disability;" namely that he spends his time being spoonfed, dresses in baby clothes, and sleeps in an adult-sized baby's crib (which he built himself).  Senator Coburn demanded an investigation months ago into why Thornton receives disability benefits when he's perfectly capable of working to support himself.

Well, the Social Security Administration investigated...

...and decided he's got a perfectly legitimate claim, so they'll keep paying him.

DOOM, thy name is dependency.

FML.

15 "Lower economic growth in turn will make the achievement of the ambitious fiscal targets even more challenging for Spain." That's Moody-speak for "no f*&king way!'

16 Yes income inequality has always been a myth. Other than the permanent welfare class created by LBJ people are constantly moving up out of poverty into the middle class and the upper classes are constantly cycling down as the "earners" turn over the wealth to their spendthrift children.

17 The fat that the link says "Senate GOP" says it all. The Senate is still totally controlled by the Rockefeller wing (i.e. the squishes).  They are what is wrong with the Republican party and why we have continued to drift left regardless of who is in power.

18 Dude runs a website, drives a car, builds furniture, goes on TV shows, and actually held a job for a year-and-a-half, but because he chooses to engage in infantile behavior he's so disabled he gets my tax $$$ ??!?

21 Monty,

The advent of government-subsidized loans made a college education nothing more than something to do after high school. That accelerated in the 1970s, and was distinct from the GI bill.

22 (My guess? Immediately after World War II with the introduction of the G. I. Bill.)

Not correct for the most part. A college degree became a requirement in the 60s for two major driving reasons. It helped the middle and upper middle class avoid the draft by getting a college deferment. And second passage of the civil rights act of 1964 led to the creation of one of the worst government agencies in Washington, the EEOC.

Following creation of that agency discrimination because of race became legal and any kind of an employment test to judge adequacy for a job became illegal. So the major companies all defaulted to requiring college degrees for most jobs as a screening mechanism.

The bank used by the Occupy Wall Street protesters is under orders from federal banking regulators to fix how it books delinquent loans, according to investigative reporter Teri Buhl.

The bank has become the main financial home for donations received by the Occupy Wall Street protests. Reportedly, those donations now amount to around $300,000.

But it has come under scrutiny from the FDIC because of the way it treats delinquent loans, according to Buhl.

According to the FDIC enforcement action, the bank isnÂ’t charging off its nonperforming loans that are more than 90 days delinquent. Instead, it appears the bankÂ’s been issuing new loans (through a restructuring) to pay off the delinquent loans and not booking the delinquent loans as a charge off.

Buhl goes on to say that there has been an exodus of executives in recent months.

If the FDIC does decide it needs to take stronger action against Amalgamated, you can be sure it will become a hot-button issue. Think about what people would say if the federal government tried to takeover Occupy Wall StreetÂ’s bank.

 

We want more bank regulations except for our own bank. *jazzhands*

Tried watching movies and riding, still boring. I did go for a year and a half and still use it occasionally in the Winter when I can't walk.

34 College as a guarantee of a higher-paying job has been a scam the universities have used for at least 30 years.  What they do is say "the average college graduate will earn X thousands of dollars more than a high school graduate.

Remove doctors, dentists, MBA graduates, engineers and lawyers from that mix and the average college degree doesn't guarantee that much of a return,  particularly when the degree is in women's or African studies, philosphy, fine arts, fashion merchandising, political science, or communications.  Most of these graduates end up working at retail stores like The Gap or Barnes and Noble, low-level clerks in a state government office, or slogging away for peanuts at a non-profit.

In addition,  students considering majors are lied to by department heads.  This happened to me when I was in school and deciding whether to go into geology or education (I come from a 3-generation family of teachers).  My mother was a dean at a private college in Indianapolis, and she had been having great difficulty placing education majors in jobs,  having to send them to Indian reservations and such.  The head of the department at MY state university told me that there were plenty of jobs in Indiana and I would have no difficulty being placed.  That was a bold-faced lie, as I discovered a few years later when I got a job with a mining company as a geologist while many of my education friends were unable to find employment in the state.

Department heads want more majors to get a larger share of the college's budget. It is empire-building on a small scale.  And Universities want more students so they can grow and expand.  So they bring in all sorts of people in order to get the money,  which is cheerfully supplied by student loans taken out by immature students who do not understand the implications of owing $80,000 for a worthless degree.

This should be a nation-wide scandal, and everyone seems to ignore it.  Colleges should only talk about high-paying jobs in the fields which are high-paying.  Anything  other than that is misleading kids into thinking they are going to be getting a large paycheck for a non-marketable degree.

35 On Drudge, I just read an OWS story set in Cleveland about a 19 yo girl allegedly getting raped in a tent that she was assigned to because of private tents.  Her tent-mate "Leland" raped her after she thought he went to sleep.  You know the media is kicking itself for wanting this to be a Tea Party rally.

Posted by: Vic at October 19, 2011 09:04 AM (YdQQY)

Sorry Vic...not true on both counts.  Red meat is not a problem for your cholesterol.  Red meat contains Omega 3's and CLA which helps burn fat and build muscle. You're working off some old research. 

And interval training is probably the best exercise regimen....along with strength training....at any age.

38 More importantly, when did a college education turn into a jobs-training program rather than the traditional "higher education" program? It started when the supremes pulled disparate impact theory out of their asses in 1971.

39 A college degree WILL lead to much higher wages if you are willing to take the hard courses in science and math.

Taking the "basket weaving 101" curriculum will get you the diploma and will allow you to eventually move up the ladder at some businesses, but you will have to start at the bottom. Also, you will in almost all cases, have to leave your old hometown. This is something that the young of today do not seem to understand.

40 >>>This is something that has confused me for years too: why do people assume that a college degree guarantees them a job? More importantly, when did a college education turn into a jobs-training program rather than the traditional "higher education" program? (My guess? Immediately after World War II with the introduction of the G. I. Bill.) Great Depression. During GD your only hope to get a job was to have a college degree. Those that lived through it were overly biased toward college thereafter.

41 Miss Marple - since the government has taken over the Student Loan business, the next President (unless it is Romney) can fix this - simply make the prospects of repayment - based job market, an element of the loan process.  Double major in Petroleum Engineering and Chemistry = here is a big check, Education with an Art History minor = here is $500, spend it wisely.  The education mafia will have to adjust their prices and offering to match.

The downside - a lot of liberal art professors will join the OWS sit-ins with their former students.

Strippers and guns.  Always an excellent combination...wait, you meant...oh, never mind then.

44 Once you reach middle age the best exercise regimen is simply walking at a rate fast enough to elevate your heart rate.

Swimming, cause all that crazy shit that you forget doing at 19, well your knees and back remember.

45 You're working off some old research. 

No I am working off of my calorie book. 6 oz of steak has 95 mg of cholesterol. That is half my daily allowance. But I guess you could say it is not just "red meat", it is almost all meat.

And interval training is probably the best exercise regimen....along with strength training....at any age.

Once you reach middle age most people are not going to do hard core interval training and keep it up. You need to adopt something that you will maintain long term.

46 why do people assume that a college degree guarantees them a job? Because that's what "They" said. You know, the tenured profs that work 30 hours a week, have there shit work done by unpaid assistants while raking in 150-300K a year.

47 BTW, I bought my Schwinn stationary bike in 1987 and have been using it ever since...great exercise and easier on the knees and feet than running.

48 Strippers and guns.  Always an excellent combination...

There was an "establishment" in Fayetteville ...

49 Oh and my original point that "red meat" isn't bad for the gut still stands. It is total intake and lack of exercise that is bad for the gut.

50 20 minutes of cardio twice a week.....and strength training twice a week is enough to keep you in shape......you just have to schedule it and do it

51 great exercise and easier on the knees and feet than running.

Posted by: jeanne at October 19, 2011 09:36 AM (xpwJk) 

That is why I said "walking". The programs I looked at recommended no jogging for people over 40 because of potential for damage to said knees and feet.

You know the MFM won't report any of it. Any negative stories about these losers will get ignored.

57 "Why do people assume a college degree guarantees them a job?"

Three reasons, I think:

First, it has in the past - or nearly always has.

Second, that's how colleges sell their hyperexpensive product to potential customers.

Third, and most important: going to college is not primarily about learning, nor is it primarily about acquiring a skill. (At least for arts students, it isn't.) It's primarily about class: a degree, or at least entrance into college, marks you as a member of the ruling class. If you've been to college, you're one of us; if you haven't, you're one of them. That's why Palin's college experience was so thoroughly mocked: she presents herself as one of us, but she's really one of them. "So," they reason, "if I've paid all this money and done all this work and gotten my ticket into the ruling class, why the hell am I broke and living in my parents' basement?"

The OWS dorks were sold a bill of goods. They know it; but because they're suckers, they've jumped from one scam to another.

IMHO, the 2012 election will be about many things; but principally it will be about whether the United States will continue to be a republic, or whether it will become an autocracy, with the "credentialed" class calling all the shots through the media, the educational establishment, the bureaucracy, and the crony-socialist establishment; and the rest of us as the serfs who pay the bill. The Tea Party wants a republic. The OWS wants an autocracy, albeit one that includes them.

Oh...your research is your calorie book?  You're making the assumption, based on old research, that the 95 mg of cholesterol from the steak is bad for you.  It's been pounded in our head for years but it's wrong.  Animal fat is not bad for you.  

Who said 'hard core'?  Interval training intensity is what is intense for YOU. 

Ever see people at the gym walking on a treadmill or riding a bike while reading a book?  Does their body ever change?  How can you reach ANY level of intensity reading a friggin'  book? 

I do agree you have to find something that you'll do long term but your body adapts to whatever you're doing.  You have to change YOUR intensity....even while walking.

65 How in the world, with all that is going on, all that the SCOAMF lacks, and all the Tea Party did in 2010, do we end up with Romney and Cain as the leading candidates for the nomination?

And lots of R's got all teary-eyed when the Fat Man chose not to run?  (Fat Man, btw, apparently thinks the OWS and TP movements are like cousins or something? WTF?)


Seriously?  Not one, true, unquestionable, principled conservative that can speak with a voice of confidence, reason, and hope?

Look, I know experience matters and I also know he's said "no", but Rubio seems to be the one national figure I could have really supported. 

Boned, we are.

66 Not at all scientific but, I have lost 25lbs since March by briskly walking an hour to an hour and a half 6 days a week.

I have lost 10 pounds in the past two weeks but not from walking. Mostly it is from reducing diet intake until  I can get back to walking. Hopefully the weather is not going to crap out on me before my "restricted period" ends.

Powerlifting twice a week, and a high-intensity cardio regimen once a week, and you can be a Goddamnn Sexual Tyrannosaurus. Like me. I will suck a dick before I give up brown likker and red meat. So I crush myself to keep enjoying the things I like. Moderation is for HOMOS. Fuck this traitorous aging body. You'll respond to my exercise program or I'll run enough Mexican river water through it to SHOW it who's boss.

73 BTW on the cholesterol thing, I suspect that the Mayo Clinic is up to date on those recommendations of 200 mg per day limit for heart problem people and 300 mg/day for everyone else.

74 Hmm, the Mexican river water diet. Is that patented?

75 EoJ - I still have some Panamanian protozoan colonies down there that keep my weight under control.  Personally, I would switch to fried chicken before the dick thing.

In all seriousness, I have a hodge-podge of domestic manufacture mil-spec (and some surplus, such as Colt) AR-15 mags and have never had any problems.  Cheaper than Dirt and AIMsurplus usually have a good variety.  If you like polymer mags, Magpul makes some good ones although they don't seat as easily in some models of AR-15s.

91 CBD, MagPul makes both. All polymer (except spring), excellent track record and about $17 a throw. The surplus GI shit is a mixed bag. Lots of bent feed lips, sticky followers, and they tend to have the parkerization worn off, so they're shiny as fuck.

I read that story and the first thing I thought was, "She's 19 years old, still in school -- not sure if its high school or college -- and she's being asked to share a tent with an unknown male.  What dipshit decided that was a good idea?  And why the hell would she agree to do it?"

Then I realized, "Oh, it's the OWS dipshits, of course.  They think everyone should get along and be nice to each other.  Equality for all!  Heck, the rapist probably thought since the vicitim was sharing a tent with him that meant she was willing to share everything else.  'Sharing is caring,' right?  Maybe his defense will be that he was just trying to get into the spirit of things by redistributing her sexual wealth.  And if he gets a liberal judge at his trial, that defense might just hold water."

Then I went and threw up on myself for a bit because these scum actually breathe the same air as me.

107 On the AR-15 mags: Magpul Industries makes some of the best ones I've ever used. They're plastic, but very rugged and error free. I don't like the hi-cap mags much, but I've got a couple of 10's and a couple of 20's and they've served me well for several years. I avoid metal mags, as most of the ones I've used tend to bend or warp no matter how careful you are with them, and cause misfeeds. I've also made it a point to stock extra mag springs in my ammo box -- often my feeding problems are due to a worn-out feeder spring.

108 Okay.

112 Then I realized, "Oh, it's the OWS dipshits, of course.  They think everyone should get along and be nice to each other.  Equality for all!  Heck, the rapist probably thought since the vicitim was sharing a tent with him that meant she was willing to share everything else.  'Sharing is caring,' right?  Maybe his defense will be that he was just trying to get into the spirit of things by redistributing her sexual wealth.

"Leland" is probably going to say he shared his semen with her all night long.

115 What would you consider 40 minutes on the elliptical, 4x a week?  A lot?  A little?

If it makes you breath hard, I'd say it's a good workout, otherwise, it seems just a bit short.

For a guy.

I walk 4 16 minute miles every fucking morning and eat less than 1000 cal of non-carb lowish fat food each day and the pounds stay exactly where they are. To lose I have to knock it down to 600 cal. The 600 cal diet makes me Satanesque. Well muscled but mean.

By the way, I do 40 minutes x5/week, and it's perfect for me.

Meh. Knock it up to 60-70 minutes 5-6 times per week for adequate.

128 600 calories is starvation level isn't it?  You must have a naturally slow metabolism.

You will do well in the Obamaclypse.  A single liberal should feed you for a month.

129 dagny - thats not right, you need to get some weights/stretching into that routine and move the weight around and or shape it.  600cal is insane.

137 Not losing any weight here.  Every other Saturday is cycling the easy trails (30 miles in 3 hours) and the other Saturdays I do the intense trails (10 miles in 90 minutes).

138 Thanks for the AR-15 mag advice. It seems like MagPul is the consensus favorite.

I have several 10 rounders, and would like to get some variation. However I will not buy anything before I check the laws in this hellhole of a state. I'll bet that 20s and 30s are restricted.

139 136 It's just a shout away.

140 122 No shit. That's what everybody says but guess what? Apparently while my fucking ancestors were raiding the english or walking to Oregon and then back because they didn't like it they developed a metabolism that needs little fuel. My sister eats less than I do--around 700 cal per day but she is 2 inches shorter. I have to watch it so closely that I quit taking skim milk in my coffee. Tic tacs have 2 calories. My mother hasn't eaten a meal on a plate larger than a dessert plate since 1942. The women in my family split halves of whole grain english muffins. It's torture.

141 Remember Jim Fixx?

In defense of Fixx (his book started me running back in the 80's)  he did live 9 years longer than his father, and something like 15 years longer than his grandfather.  And as he pointed out, if you ran an hour a day for 24 years, and lived an extra year + one day, you come out ahead.

142 Quadruple bypass 18 months ago from eating wrong and mostly sitting on my ass for thirty years. The cigarettes didn't help. The simplest plan if you are not young is: Get up off your ass and do something, anything. Park farther away from stores and walk, walk, walk. Whatever exercise appeals to you, do. If no exercise appeals to you, walk more, garden more, clean house more, do your hobbies more. We have a Jeep and we rockhound and explore, on foot after we drive there. We shop a lot. We are always doing something, sitting around only maybe two hours a night. We are not on our computers six hours a night like we used to be.

You sit, you die.

That is not necessary at all.

A complete workout should take you no longer than 45-60 mins. max.  That's warm-up, weights, intervals, and stretching.  60-70 mins. on an elliptical machine 5-6 times per week is an inefficient use of your time.

Good Lord, I am surprised you don't pass out. I do my 30 min 2 mi walk and eat about 1800 to 2100 cal per day normally. That holds my weight.

Currently I am holding the cal to between 1600 and 1800 per day except on days when I hit the brown liquor and then they go through the roof.

Posted by: Ben at October 19, 2011 10:14 AM (wuv1c)

That may be snark but I'll answer anyway, no. The brown comes from the inner part of the aging barrel which is charred by fire before putting the booze in it to age. The cal come from the alcohol so the amount depends on the proof.

With no criticism implied: what is your experience with exercise? Schooling, self-study?

(I will ignore the obvious rank, vile, disgusting affiliation with the LaRussa steroid monsters)

170 Just to let everyone know, I work at a pharma company (I know, an evil pharma company) and we completed a study in mice over the summer that involved the very things we're discussing here:  exercise, diet, weight loss drugs.

I'll gloss over the details of the study and skip right to the conclusions: 

-a calorie restricted diet trumps exercise in terms of weight loss
-weight loss drugs are more effective than exercise but not better than diet restriction for weight loss
-weight loss drugs produce acute heart defects (we used ephedrine) over the long term
-the summer intern who I trained to do a part of this study was hawt

The moral of this story is that watching what you eat will help control your weight better than exercising.  However, there are still many benefits to exercising that cannot be replaced by simply taking in less calories.  A combination of the two, excluding weight loss drug use, will keep you healthy over the long term.

171 Smacked your finger while swinging that framing hammer at Romney?

Nah, but if he had laid hands on me last night as he did Rick he'd be missing a finger.

Mine was butcher knife.

172

>>>Ben, did you ever implement my Scotch Training Program?

 

Yes! And I'm loving it. I didn't even need to do it in total, I just skipped ahead. Now I just drink scotch with two ice cubes.

I'm thinking of just puting my scotch in the fridge and cutting out the ice cubes. I don't particularly like it watered down, but I do like the scotch to be cold. I don't like warm scotch, it burns too much which prevents me from appreciating the taste.

I've been drinking Macullums(sp?) and Glennfiddich 12 &15. I prefer the Glennfiddich.

I may try blended scotches since they are a lot cheaper.

173 My doctor told me if I could ride my stationary bike 5 times a week for 20-30 minutes, I could lose a pound a week without changing diet at all.

That was about a month ago..  one of these days I will get to all the crap I have piled on top of the bike!

174 Great quote from the Weekly Standard.  Charles G. Dawes was the first Director of the Budget - the predecessor of the OMB.  After helping Warren G. Harding balance the budget, an effort continued by Calvin Coolidge, and seeing their efforts undone by FDR, Dawes made a prediction:

Some day, a President, if he is to save the country from bankruptcy and its people from ruin, must make the old fight over again, and this time the battle will be waged against desperate disadvantages. Against him will be arrayed the largest, strongest, and most formidably entrenched army of interested government spenders, wasters, and patronage-dispensing politicians the world has yet known.

A friend of mine had an applicant ask him to explain what a division sign meant in an employment test at a lumber store. The applicant possessed a worthless piece of paper awarded him fraudulently by his high school, claiming he'd completed high school. And for several years now, colleges have been defrauding students and devaluing the currency of a college diploma: "Only 41 percent of graduate students tested in 2003 could be classified as "proficient" in prose ..."

131 There is a man that knows his Bourban.

The commie likker store up here just got in a couple of cases of Basil Hayden's and Blanton's.

It's Go Time.

 

I fully recommend Basil Haydens. Best bourbon on the market. Drink it neat or on the rocks.

235 On second thought, don't bother. Cardinals fans are rarely worth looking at. They are better as targets for screaming home run balls hit by Texas Rangers batters.

How many WS have the Rangers won?  The Cardinals?

236 150 Meters? Nearly impossible to miss from that range.

237 I Tiger now.

238 @229--I'd like to sign up for your TTAST course...because now we're going to be competing with escaped leopards for our food.

When George Soros starts providing cases of it to the OWS crowd, I am so there....

The poor, picked-on 99%, suffering with their $5000 laptops and Eddie Bauer sleeping bags, eating delivered gourmet pizza and rakin' in the donations, can probably afford better Strong Waters than I.

Of course if I was rollin' in loot, I'd just go back to Bushmills anyway....

im rooting for the Cardinals as a Rays fan looking for revenge of some sort but the "how many world series have you won" argument is a joke

College also turned into a traing program especially after Griggs v. Duke Power when employers could no longer use IQ tests.  So, instead of taking an IQ test, receiving OJT, and becoming productive citizens right away, they must pay tens of thousands of dollars for Marxist indoctrination (i.e., college) first. 

Talk about a case where the science has changed, and a case needs to be reversed.  But, lefty judges will avoid that by doing the Standing Shuffle. 

Whee.

Even though this proves that SCOAMFÂ’s future in politics is DOOMed, itÂ’s damned funny.

I wanted to give it the Biden warnsÂ… treatment, but I wanted you to look at it.

245 150 Meters? Nearly impossible to miss from that range.

Mostly yes, but I only use iron sights so it's my hunting range and I'm comfortable with hitting zombies from there.  I try not to shoot past 200m.  I've wounded some deer past that without putting them right down and that's cruel I think.

Regarding the 19 year old - I'm wondering whether she's still a student or is now a graduate.  I checked the school website and apparently Summit Academy serves grades k-12 and serves children with ADHD and Asperger's, so these are kids who have the ability to function normally when given the proper tools.   My younger daughter has ADHD and is an honor roll student.  I  have ADHD, which may actually account for my propensity to hang around you degenerates, now that I think of it.

Well, federal law states that a child with an identified disability may, if necessary, remain in the K-12 system up to age 21, at which point they age out.  Which makes me ask several things:

1) If this student is simply an older senior (someone born just late enough that she entered the school system a year later than others her own age, or who got held back a grade or two in her history), then where were her parents or school guardians to keep her from sleeping overnight in a shared tent with a strange man?  She might be of legal age, but she's still in school and assumedly under someone's supervision.

2) If this was a chaperoned trip to Occupy Cleveland, where the *!#? were the damn chaperones?

3) If it was unchaperoned... WTF?

4) If this student is disabled to the point of needing to remain in the school system until age 21, who allowed her to attend this event without supervision? 

5) If she had supervision, where the hell did they go!?

speaking of hunting...

did you hear this?

There are a bunch of wild animals running loose in Ohio.

Schools are closed and deputies are busy rounding up shooting dead the lions, cheetahs, fucking chimps, and grizzly bears.

The man who owned the farm was found dead and all the cage-doors were open.

249 Only food I'm allowed, it seems, are chicken and vegetables (but not beets which is fine with me!)

One thing I have really converted to now is fiber.  It helps with lipid metabolism.  Avoid white starches.  Sweet potatoes and brown rice are good.

Mayo clinic has excellent web pages on dietary things.  Good luck!

250 251 Mayo Clinic even speaks well of Olive Oil.

251 @252
Yep.
It really is a great resource.  I should get off my duff and donate to them.

The article on Drudge says he let all the animals go and then shot himself. 

Why are they killing them?  Why not just shoot them with a tranquilizer?

255 256 Not sure Police have training in or access to tranquilizer guns.

Oook....so no one in Ohio has training in or access to tranquilizer guns?

That is a good quote. Just re-posted it at FB to annoy Libs.

258 Why not just shoot them with a tranquilizer? They don't all talk and draw pictures.

>>>Ben, did you ever implement my Scotch Training Program?

Yes! And I'm loving it. I didn't even need to do it in total, I just skipped ahead. Now I just drink scotch with two ice cubes.

I'm thinking of just puting my scotch in the fridge and cutting out the ice cubes. I don't particularly like it watered down, but I do like the scotch to be cold. I don't like warm scotch, it burns too much which prevents me from appreciating the taste.

I've been drinking Macullums(sp?) and Glennfiddich 12 &15. I prefer the Glennfiddich.

I may try blended scotches since they are a lot cheaper.

For real cold, put in freezer. As cold as ice, but flows well.

261 Re the wild animals, I think the whole thing is tragic.  Here's why they had to shoot to kill:

Staffers from the Columbus Zoo went to the scene, hoping to tranquilize and capture the animals after daybreak Wednesday. The zoo’s director emeritus, TV host Jack Hanna, said that was something that could not be done in the dark.“You cannot tranquilize an animal like this, a bear or a leopard or a tiger (at nighttime),” Hanna told ABC’s “Good Morning America on Wednesday. ”If you do that, the animal gets very excited, it goes and hides, and then we have his (Lutz’s) officer in danger of losing their life, and other people.“

Ah....that explains it.  Thanks y-not.

Sorry about your booboo.   The other day I was putting a knife back in the knife block and the knife stopped going in while my hand kept going.  Sliced my thumb open.  Yeah, I'm a clutz.

Once you reach middle age the best exercise regimen is simply walking at a rate fast enough to elevate your heart rate.






By far, the best exercise for middle-aged men is to bed nubile doe-eyed young coeds. However, it's a lot less expensive to just hire a platoon of personal trainers.......

I was listening to the local press conference about an hour ago and Jack said he's already received numerous death threats from animal rights people.

265 By far, the best exercise for middle-aged men is to bed nubile doe-eyed young coeds.

Not if you are married. That can lead to premature death syndrome.

266 By far, the best exercise for middle-aged men is to bed nubile doe-eyed young coeds.

As much as I want to agree with that statement, it would mean Hugh Heffner would be the world's healthiest man.

267 Can we PLEASE stop talking about exercise, and get back to 26 oz. ribeyes?  MMMMM!!!!

268 Re: Krugman's okay-ism or not-okayism with Internet review of economics Monty, I'm in one of those fields so many of us are these days where you have to be conversant with a number of adjacent fields, and from what I see this is actually one of the more enthusiastic takes (If you're someone with a special fondness for Internet snark, hey, take a look at the 'harder' sciences, for example, the ultimate fighting putdowns on blogs on subatomic particles; in that area, it's a daily routine for tenured professors to get called Luddites and morons.). The tells have to be these: 1. Does the academic embrace Internet byplay, or is he there reluctantly? & 2. What's he doing there in the first place? So, second first: Krugman gets paid, presumably a lot, for his two-per-week op-ed articles - but nothing for his multiple-posts-per-day blog. This is unusual for blogworld, but apparently not for the NY Times; yet note: few of his fellow NYT op-eders also blog there, notably, not David Brooks, & not even Ross Douthit, who actually came there with some (sort of) blog cred (from the Atlantic online). Krugman SAYS he blogs - again, free - to fulfill part of what he sees as the responsibility of a public intellectual. This is hard to refute, especially when his blog posts are typically more effective than his longer op-ed pieces. And again: there's no obligation, he could easily duck it - as Brooks has & does. First last: Even having chosen to blog (free), Krugman could have chosen a model more like, say, Douthit had at the Atlantic, i.e. no reader comments. The model Krugman chose is not optimal for byplay with the blogmeister - as far as I can tell, Krugman doesn't ever actually go down into the reader comments thread - but it's clear he does at least a lot of his own mediation, and he quite often refers to themes and memes that come up in those threads in later posts, sometimes even pointing to the particular comments or naming the avatar. A good check on this comes from his mediation style. Obviously, this blog here tolerates a certain, dare one say, liberality in vocabulary - but one can get can-canned for a very peculiar artifact of blog posting being, best I can think to put it, insufficiently disingenous sock-puppetry (That is: sock-puppetry is actually praised and rewarded; but too genuine-appearing a sock causes, um, unrest.). What Krugman excises is that same 'liberality' in vocab (It's the Times, not a raucous clubhouse), and abuse of band-width (same as here), but - that's it. Ultimate test: If one of us morons went onto to one his threads, and did nothing more than edit out that edge of liberality that characterizes reader comments here, would it get published? No, it wouldn't - but for one reason only: reader posts are restricted to Times subscribers. Your case isn't made.

275 Rats, by the time I get around to reading all these commwnts, up here in Alaska, you all have already eaten dinner and drunk all that good bourbon, and passed out, but I need to pass you some vital knowledge on diet:  EAT MORE FISH.  Not farm fish, but wild, Alaska salmon, cod, halibut, etc.  (full disclosure; yeah, I catch 'em, and sell them to you, but still...)  The fish oils just knock your cholesterol levels down,  the nurses always comment on how low my blood pressure is,  and the added bonus, it is just delicious food.  Oh, yeah:  Knob Creek Bourbon.
