Just thought you’d like to know.

No Words.

Did I miss a post? Nope. Just late.

Dang. I haven’t missed posting a single day since we began this stuff in 2007, intentionally or otherwise. Lotta things getting in the way of more important stuff, I guess.

Milton Friedman’s Brilliance

Folks–

Pip2Occasionally I’ve commented on a few of your websites, in response to conjecture and political opinion pieces on government economics, welfare, and socialism.  I’m not going to name names;  most of ya’ll are blogging friends, and you already know who you are.  Most of you already know where I stand, as I don’t hide it very well…

Drop your preconceived notions at the door, and listen to what Friedman said, especially as it pertains to our present circumstances.  He spoke volumes of logic in this interview with Richard Heffner of Rutgers University on “Open Mind,” a program that aired in 1975:

Folks–

No, that’s not pirate-ese.  My home computer is ill, running dreadfully slow after installing the latest Microdork update.  I’m guessing that for some reason it didn’t install completely. I reverted to two different system checkpoints with no luck last night.

Posting will be sporadic until I get the baboso up and running again.
