An addition to the family

John MXL is a man too great to let le deluge interfere with a a long motorcycle trip -- or to let the statists off scot-free. Welcome to the blogroll, Sir.

Santorum looks like someone just ran over his dog.

Cain looks like Uncle Wiggly reading a hasenpfeffer recipe.

Why I am not (quite) broke yet

Too much time yesterday was spent in trying to work up enough rage to  cremate a Keystone Pipeline story in the Washington Post. I'll get to it, but the mood this morning remains too mellow.  It's probably the creature comforts as raw weather sets in.

Years ago a friend gave me a shirt, a thick, bright red mixture of wool and coal-tar derivatives, and it is still the treasured wardrobe king from October through March. It is just out of summer storage.

I sadly observed that it is missing a button. I regretted that I had no appropriate replacement in the button locker. I declined to drive to town to purchase a card of usable buttons for $x.99. So I called up my econometrical spread sheet on my electric computer and computed a viable alternative.







Even allowing for electrical costs; even carefully considering wear and depreciation of the drill press and bit,  it is an optimal fiscal solution. Thank you,  Mr. Bernanke.

N.B. Should the chosen cent bear a date earlier than 1982, the AlGorerithms  are significantly altered and you should go to town and buy a button.

Kurt is doing especially well the past few days. There's a poll on which you can vote for Dr. Paul.  He does a very clean dissection of Mittens Romney.  He has a good report on another TSA act of FUBAR which I missed.  (Grandma hassled for bracelet charm.)

Go read, if you please.
