Comment on A Tribute to James Royal Berry (1967-1999) by Neil Parker

I had the pleasure to know Royal too. He was a great guy, and one of the smartest people I’ve ever known in my life. I did a little bit of artwork for him on The Pit in the very beginning. Just some crude pictures of the characters that he had in the game. Royal told me that for every member that joined to play the pit on his BBS that he would give me a percentage and he always followed through. Every quarter he would give me a small check and I was always have to get it because I fell a part of something bigger. I met Royal through his sister Lori. Even though our friendship wasn’t close, I felt like we did have a connection. I heard about his passing from his sister about a year after he had gone. It really affected me because I had no idea that it happened. I know that if Royal had lived, Midas Touch Software should have been a very powerful company. Miss you Royal.

Comment on Jeff Goldblum wants you to get a life by Ron

Jeff Goldblum has never been an actor I cared to watch. I think in some of the movies/films he did ok in his performance. I however can think of others who could of done a much better job at acting. We all have our favorite actress and actor for what ever reason, but one dimensional acting is something millions can do Jeff. I guess it comes down to ones political correctness and being in touch with the power clans of the day. I am a Tom Selleck, Charlton Heston, Dennis Miller type of follower/supporter. Won’t miss him on Law and Order but I may start watching it now.

Comment on Hurricane Irene and the Broken Window Fallacy by TJ Radcliffe

TJ Radcliffe — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 01:02:45 +0000

Just to play devil’s advocate for a minute, consider the argument that “it’s different this time” because banks are in fact unwilling to lend to all but the most qualified borrowers and corporations are in fact sitting on hoards of cash.

Interest rates are at historic lows because the demand for debt is very nearly nil because everyone is afraid that the Tea Party or President Obama or Europe or the Trilateral Commission (are they still around?) are going to pull the rug out from under in the process of creating the New World Order.

So there is money (credit) that is not in circulation, and Irene will put it into circulation. Of course, it will do so by over-riding the sober judgment of the owners of that money, forcing them to take risks (make [re]investments) they would not have otherwise made. So what Krugman et al are saying is, “Everyone but me is WAY too risk averse!”

I wonder how much debt Krugman carries to finance his current spending?

“In a world where women told the truth about everything men would lose, not only their motivation to work, but their very will to live! Knowing when to lie is the most important part of any relationship.”

Err… no?

The Scottish novelist Alexander McCall Smith once wrote that America is a female-dominated culture that doesn’t realize it. It was one of the most insightful things I’ve ever read about the States, and your belief that women have a duty to lie because men can’t handle the truth just tends to confirm that view.

It also explains how much trouble I’ve had with American women over the years…
