According to the old clock on the wall I’ve been at my real work desk for ….carry the three….oh, about 14 1/2 hours. My goal is to get out of here in a couple of hours, around 1-ish, because I have to be back here at 6am-ish to deal with programers on the elitist east [...]

The more I think about the prospect of a Barack Obama/Rick Perry election the more I keep seeing Obama playing Tom Robinson to Perry’s Bob Ewell as Perry cynically dog-whistles the yahoos for all he is worth. The role of the emotionally stunted and perpetually aggrieved Mayella Ewell will, of course, be played by the [...]

Shorter Walter Russell Mead: As the Supreme Court slides into a dissolute state of corporate sycophancy, yahooism, disdain for precedent, and general all-around pulling shit out of their collective asses, Clarence Thomas’s fellow justices are discovering what Clarence has always known: they can’t be fired.  Obviously this is proof that Thomas is a fucking genius.

More excitement. When the weather cools down they become more activ— Oh, who the hell am I kidding? This is their job and they’re good at it.

Sad and unappreciated: Junior investment bankers to Wall Street: Take this job and shove it. While young bankers said they enjoy their jobs, most are dissatisfied with pay and hope to leave the field, with almost 60 percent saying they want to work in private equity, according to a survey released yesterday by headhunting firm [...]

What’s that girl? Timmy fell into the well and he can’t get out? Looks that way. If you’re wondering about the plight of that other inexperienced passer on the Broncos’ roster – how far and fast he has fallen in the eyes of his bosses – consider that at least some people in the organization [...]
