On Johnny Manziel - AKA, Johnny Football

He kinda reminds me of that inbred banjo-playing kid from "Deliverance" (with a lesser moral underpinning, of course).

A Quick Statistical Tutorial

As I've stated before, more than 50% of the people in the top 1% were out of that category by 2005. This does NOT mean that everybody gets a turn at being in the top 1% (yes, we all have the potential if we're willing to do the right education and lengthy hours commensurate to it but it's far from a certainty). Nope, it only means that approximately .5% of that bottom 99% was able to assert itself into the demographic within that particular decade. That's it, and hopefully I've cleared this up a it.

That was Then, This is Youza

Near the tail end of the Bush Presidency, Mr. Bush did a fair amount of sabre-rattling toward Iran. Disturbed by this display of bravado, a then Senator Biden took to the airwaves and said that if Bush didn't get an authorization from the Congress, it could potentially be an impeachable offense. Funny how we didn't hear a peep out of him when it looked like Mr. Obama was contemplating similarly. Funny hypocritically, I'm saying.

The Keynesian "Solution" to Overspending, Overleveraging, And a Bubble

More overspending, more overleveraging, and another bubble................................................................................P.S. In a saner society, people with these types of thoughts would be marginalized and possibly institutionalized but, no, in our crazy world they're actually given column space in the New York Times.

On Industrial Scale Reliable, Affordable Energy

It is a life-saving value that we shamelessly and moronically take for granted. I mean, just take a look at the way that our lives were PRIOR to fossil fuels, hydro power, and nuclear (these 3 sources combining to give the world 96% of its energy). It was abject misery; famine, starvation, lawlessness, back-breaking work, deaths from the heat, deaths from the cold (up to 40 cords of wood were needed just to get through the winter), diseases up the ying-yang. Of course it is still very much like that for over a billion people on the planet and the solution from all of these environmentalists is what exactly; solar panels on huts, windmills, keeping away from these starving people valuable biotechnology that could largely eradicate starvation, blindness, malaria, and soil erosion? Yeah, that sounds like an excellent plan.

Too Early for Heisman Talk?

Yeah, probably. But when you throw for 355 yards (on 23 for 28) and 5 touchdowns, and it only takes you 3 quarters to do it, Louisville quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, just might be the best place to start that conversation when you're ready.
