I have been watching the baseball wire over the last few weeks, I am continue to grow more and more disgusted as I see the news:
Atlanta Braves Sign: Rafael Furcal 3 Years - $30 million
Philadelphia Phillies Sign: Raul Ibanez 3 Years - $31.5 million
New York Yankees Sign: CC Sabathia’s 7 years - $161 million

Last night, I had dinner with several venture capitalist guys who are all a heck of a lot smarter on the financial markets situation and the proposed bailouts than I am.  Here was the crux of the conversation:
1) The largest issue with the banking crisis is FAS 157 (FASB is the Financial Accounting Standards Board [...]

Whenever I describe my political views, I generally state: “I am socially liberal, financially conservative”. This means I generally vote for conservative Democrats and Liberal Republicans. I am not into extremes. One of the main reasons I tend to lean Republican is: fiscally the Republican Platform makes more sense to me. As a businessman and an individual, I have studied the pros and cons of a free market society and I believe in most cases, the free market is the best way to insure growth and prosperity for ALL citizens.

Today I am scratching my head wondering how the fiscally and socially conservative Republican Party has seemingly overnight turned into a socialistic society. Those on the Democratic side of the street claim the bailouts being proposed and executed (a good word for it) is simply cronyism, which is completely absurd. I believe the real issue is the current Republican Government (good old GWB) is attempting to stabilize the economy in a fairly transparent effort to bolster support for John McCain. First and foremost, I do not believe McCain needs that sort of help, secondly, IT IS STUPID, DESTRUCTIVE, AND EXACTLY WHAT WE DO NOT NEED!

I am trying to keep up with all of the idiotic partisian crap flying around the 2008 Presidential Campaign, and I certainly expect most of the mainstream press to slant their stories to favor the Democrats (in fairness, I expect Fox to slant things a little to the Republican side of the house).  Today I [...]

I admit it, after hearing all of the political rhetoric flying around about Sarah Palin, her apparent lack of qualifications, her 4 month old baby with Downs Syndrome, her inexperience as an executive, all lead me to feel like the GOP missed the mark with their nomination of Sarah Palin.
As with most Americans, I was [...]

I received a digg alert this morning, informing me that Vanity Fair has published a list of this years most powerful and influencial people (the story can be found here).  On this list Steve Jobs comes in at number 4 and  Mick Jagger at number 60.  All in all an interesting list as lists go.  [...]

For some inexplicable reason, John McCain added Sarah Palin to his ticket as his Vice President.  I have thought a lot about WHY he would do such a thing.  Many of my friends seem to think that this is a death blow for the McCain presidency.  I am not sure.  Since this is front of [...]
