New Year's Eve

Happy (?) New Year!

We are being "treated" to a spectacle of dysfunction and incompetence in Washington, DC that is simply breathtaking.  I am not sure if they are trying to destroy the country but with friends like this, who needs an enemy?

Congress seems determined to walk the country off the fiscal cliff and both parties are to blame. The good news is that the federal government is closed on January one so they cannot really do any damage.  The bad news is that they won't vote until January 2, if at all.

Say hello to more taxes, bigger deficits and another recession, if you believe we ever left the last one.

Hope and change?

Please, Democrats and Republicans alike, just shut up.......

Time to call the British and see if they will take us back as a colony.

Merry Christmas!

The world hasn't ended....

As you probably guessed, the world has not ended.  Nonetheless, there are still plenty of other problems.  Now, before we tackle those, someone drag Hillary Clinton into the Senate so she can testify about what happened to the consulate in Libya on September 11, 2012.....

End of the world?

Site of next year's Super Bowl...

If the Mayans are right and the world ends, it was nice knowing you.  My only regret is that we did not get to see Hillary Clinton squirm in a Congressional testimony  First, she claimed she was "busy", followed by stomach virus and now fainting from a concussion.....yeah, we believe her......

If the world does not end, she better recover fast.....

Here is a Christmas wish---honesty in Washington.....

Alea iacta est!

Haas stands guard by the mailbox...

Alea iacta est!

Latin for "The die is cast!"

Suetonius writes this is what Caesar uttered while crossing the Rubicon in defiance of the Roman Senate.  No, I am not plunging the Roman Republic into civil war.  All the applications are sent and now everything is out of my hands.  Some of the PhD programs may be long shots but as the Great Gretzky once said, "You can't score if you don't shoot at the goal!"

As Tom Petty once said, "The waiting is the hardest part."

I wonder how I can work that into a dissertation......
