Mechanical Investing for August

Posted on August 30, 2004. Filed under: Finances | Tags: |

By the hair of my chinny chin chin, mechanical investing did ok this month. The overall market took a beating and most stocks (including mine) were down, but one big winner made it a positive month for me. Six winners and seven losers this month. Holding for another month: Ticker Return   PBR +3.8% Petroleo [...]

MTV Awards & John Kerry's Daughters

Posted on August 30, 2004. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , |

I didn’t watch the MTV Awards last night. There’s not much about that event that appeals to me. With MTV solidly behind John Kerry, I expected a lot of Bush bashing. Imagine my surprise when I read on Drudge last night that when John Kerry’s daughters got up on stage to ask people to vote [...]

Busy Week Ahead

Posted on August 29, 2004. Filed under: Personal Stuff, Politics | Tags: , |

I have all day meetings Monday and Tuesday and some tight deadlines to meet at work this week. Postings will be slim till the end of the week. Currently we’re up to about 300 Democratic loonies arrested in New York. I’m predicting a thousand before the end of the week.

Wayward College Student Found!

Posted on August 28, 2004. Filed under: Family | Tags: , |

Alex called back last night and we caught up on things. He’s staying up at college this weekend (good for him!); he has parties, an XBox tournament, and movies to go see. Some of those events mysteriously involve girls.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Posted on August 27, 2004. Filed under: Family | Tags: |

I tried calling my new collegiate college son on Wednesday night to see how his first day of classes went. No answer on his dorm phone. I sent him an email, too, telling him I had emailed his Bearkat card. I can only assume he got the email; he didn’t reply. I tried calling again [...]

Search Queries: Overwhelmed

Posted on August 26, 2004. Filed under: The Blog |

At one point, I wanted to do a regular reporting of what people searched for on Google that led them here. For a while, it was fun; pastamancer, mispelled watermellon, Michael Moore’s movie, etc. But for over a month it’s been Dale Earnhardt Jr and his girlfriend or some variation thereof. Here’s the search word [...]

New York Riots of 2004

Posted on August 26, 2004. Filed under: Politics | Tags: |

The riots on New York 2004 are about to begin to coincide with the Republican National Convention. The Republicans have every intention of putting the protestors on TV and point out that those naked lunatics setting fire to stuff are supporters of Kerry. History repeats itself; in Chicago 1968 students rioted and rebelled against the [...]

John Kerry's "The New Soldier"

Posted on August 26, 2004. Filed under: Politics | Tags: |

John Kerry’s Vietnam-bashing book went out of print years ago. He wouldn’t give permission for the publisher to reprint it; his veteran-bashing would probably hurt his campaign. After all, he wants to be the Commander in Chief of all those baby killers. Through the magic of the internet, you can read his book online here. [...]

Kerry's Stunt Backfires

Posted on August 26, 2004. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , |

Despite the best effort of the liberal media (headline reads “Kerry Backer Tries in Vain to Get Protest to Bush“), John Kerry’s stunt went over like a lead balloon yesterday. He organized Max Cleland, the disabled ex-Senator, to deliver a letter to President Bush at his Crawford ranch. Of course it was a stunt; he [...]

Years of Memories, One Piece of Trash at a Time

Posted on August 25, 2004. Filed under: Family, Stories | Tags: |

After taking Alex to college, I resolved to clean his room. It’s full of typical teenage junk he’s collected over the years, but mostly with his door shut, I haven’t looked at it in years. Alex knew this was coming; he took the stuff that was important to him, and I promised to store memories [...]
