Total systemic breakdown, then and now

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:09:00 PDT
When not reading blog posts about the bad news on new home sales or immersing myself in the latest commodity price spike, I have been reading, just for kicks, the late China scholar Frederic Wakeman Jr.'s master work: "The Great Enterprise: The Manchu Reconstruction of Imperial Order in Seventeenth-Century China." But my efforts to distract myself from the many dramas of 2008 have been unsuccessful. Just the first few pages of "The Great Enterprise" sparked so many synaptic connections with th

Rotten Timing of Bands and Heart Attacks

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:12:04 PDT
Diary time again. Wednesday afternoon, I ended up doing something I had never done before, and the only reason was because the Pope was visiting America. Normally, I would be indifferent to such a thing, and it was exactly my complete indifference that drove me to this point. You see, when I eat lunch in my house, I eat in my living room, usually around 12.30 or 1.00, while I watch television, often the news. It's usually the only television I watch in the course of a day, unless it's Thursday,

Shepard Smith Takes Over For Neil Cavuto As Fox's Business News Anchor

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:07:45 PDT
Surely Fox will be making an announcement any day now: Shepard Smith promoted, becomes Fox "business news" anchor; Neil Cavuto demoted to aging, has-been talking, spinning head. (Just kidding. Sort of.) Time and time again, Smith says more (I use that word loosely) about what happened on Wall Street than Mr. Fox Business News, Neil Cavuto. Today (April 24, 2008) was a perfect example. In the final minute of Big Story, Smith signed off with, We're watching the big board down on Wall Street in

Cons: RCMP Raid Was a 'Publicity Stunt'

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:10:43 PDT
Pass the tissues. Oh how I weep for those poor victims of the RCMP raid of the Cons' headquarters. Not. The tories are scrambling to paint themselves as being oppressed after yesterday's raid (which continues today). The problem is that they appointed the two Elections Canada officials they're now suing and that they applaud the RCMP (even protecting Zaccardelli to the bitter end) except when they're the targets of a legally-sanctioned warrant. And now, they're also trying to implicate the Li

Ready for the Zombie Invasion (or any other disaster)

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 01:37:15 PDT
Flickr Photo Credit: d200 dug No censorship! One of the big frustrations disaster preparedness professionals constantly face is the difficulty of getting people to acknowledge the likelihood of an emergency event -- whether its a natural disaster, pandemic flu or manmade terrorism -- and to take actions to be ready if when it happens. The fact is, people don't like to think about worst-case scenarios, and they definitely don't like to have to spend effort and money to address something that th
