Wisdom makes me smile
My friend Karen Mock passed this along to me and, as she wrote, it is too good not to pass along.
A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one,' the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. 'The young people of today are much more advanced than people your age. We grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon and the Internet. We have cell phones, nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers, automated manufacturing, amazing
technologies, …and,' pausing to take another drink of beer.The senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, 'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young…..so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are YOU doing for the next generation?'
The applause was resounding…

Regarding the Ongoing Irrelevance of Keynesian Economics
As I see more of them, my enjoyment of Barry A. Deutsch's cartoons increases. I recommend you visit the Ampersand blog to check out the entire selection.
I enjoyed this one especially, as I can never understand how business leaders are so antagonistic toward Keynesian economics. When the economy starts to suffer, these paragons of independence approach the government on their knees, shaking their begging bowls with rage.

Wonderful! Check these out
On doing an image search, I came across these great pictures. I will definitely be framing some for my place. Have a look at Building a World - The Explodingdog Store.
Thanks Steve
I still remember fondly the first computer ever to find its way into the family home. The Apple IIe was magic, allowing these clumsy finger to type badly, then delete the virtual mistakes.
A History of Corporate Whining
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I think a good cartoon is worth at least five hundred. In that spirit, I give you five hundred words by Barry A. Deutsch from the Ampersand blog on the history of corporate responses to regulation.

Election 41 – It feels great to do the right thing
Somehow 11:00 has turned into 19:15 at the James Morton campaign. It has been a long day but everyone has gained energy. This is the feeling of doing the right thing.
