From Politico.com
White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers is stepping down, a White House aide tells POLITICO. Rogers, a Chicago friend of the Obamas, drew fire for her handling of the state dinner party-crashers in November.
I’m waiting to see if any of the security folks get canned.
AIG – Focus In The Wrong Place
February 26th, 2010 / No Comments » / by
AIG is saying that paying back some of the bailout money is causing the “too big to fail” insurance concern to lose money.
We should have let these companies go broke.
All of them.
They’re too big to be kept afloat.

2/18 refers to Thursday 2/18/2010 or the day Joe Stack flew his plane into the Echelon building in Austin, Texas. Last night I heard someone say, “…calm down, don’t fly into my house.”
Epicurus on Immortality
February 12th, 2010 / No Comments » / by
Know that there is no such thing as immortality. Therefore, death is not an evil; it is simply irrelevant to us. As long as we exist, there is no death, and when death comes upon us, we do not exist.
Belief in immortality was born of the greed of insatiable people who squander the time that nature has allotted us. But the wise man will find that time is sufficient to make the round of attainable delights and when the time to die arrives, leave the table of life replete, making way for other guests.
For the wise man one human span suffices, while the foolish man would not know what to do ever with eternity.
—Epicurus
