After all, if you know anything at all about finance and economics, you should know that they are not a zero-sum game. As they say, a rising […]
I’ve posted about our national love affair with lead poisoning before, but John Oliver almost makes it funny. Well, except that something this tragic isn’t funny at all.

“Tomorrow is the Wisconsin presidential primary, which could actually be pivotal for the Republican race for president. While Milwaukee has already played a major role by making all the beer that’s helped us through it.” – Jimmy Fallon “House Speaker Paul Ryan today continued to shoot down rumors that he could be a surprise candidate […]
[This was written by reader Stephen Statler, who asked me to post it. Yeah, we are all suffering from Trump burnout, but this is pretty funny. Reading this, I could just imagine Trump saying these things. –iron] ABRAHAM LINCOLN: GETTYSBURG ADDRESS Some time ago, I’m not sure how long, and frankly it doesn’t matter, our […]
“We have New Jersey governor Chris Christie on the show tonight, which means right now, Donald Trump is unlocking his basement going, ‘Oh, no, he escaped.’” – Jimmy Fallon “I saw that Jeb Bush is going back to giving speeches after his failed run for the Republican nomination. He’s actually a very talented motivational speaker, […]
I’m traveling. Bad internet connection here. Things might be slow until Monday.
“Tomorrow is April Fools’ Day, which means everyone will be waiting for Donald Trump to finally say, ‘Gotcha! I never wanted to be president! I can’t believe you dummies let it go on this long!’” – Jimmy Fallon “After saying in an interview that there should be punishment for women who undergo illegal abortions, Donald […]
Bernie Sanders was just endorsed by Jeff Merkley, the junior senator from Oregon. Why is this newsworthy? Because for Sanders, this is the first endorsement from one of his colleagues in the Senate. I think this is great. No, I haven’t become a Bernie Bro. I still feel exactly the way I have from the […]
