What’s on my mind….

RISK: What do Wall Street, Big Oil, climate change, saving for retirement, and wearing helmets have in common? Human are LOUSY at assessing risk.

KIDS KILLING KIDS IN BOSTON: Not my problem, you say? Well, if altruism makes you nervous, don’t you at least want these kids to be productive citizens so they can contribute to your social security fund? Oh that’s right…you want the government to keep its hands off your social security.

ANGRY PRESIDENT: Am I the only one that actually prefers that the President keep a cool head in the face of a disaster? Does that mean I am somehow emotionally-challenged?

A THRILL SEEKER’S PARADISE – THE MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION – Well, maybe not, but… Did the Scott Brown election light a fire under the Dems? Does the success of Dems in the mid-term elections hinge on the unemployment rate? Does it matter if the state auditor talks crazy sometimes?

What do you want to talk about?

I hear some folks (seems like people who sympathize with the tea partiers) say we need to run the economy like a business.

What’s on my mind…

• Guns – Is there a mandate in the Constitution for proper training on how to use guns safely?
  

So Texas gets to decide for the ENTIRE COUNTRY what our children are going to learn?

A not to be missed commentary on our current health care system…..

Yes indeedy…GOP candidate for Ted Kennedy’s seat posed nude for Cosmopolitan magazine about 20 years ago.

• Craig Sandler, State House News Service – ethics, budget and Michael Jackson(!)
• Michael Jackson inspired by Manu Dibango (?)
• British view of American Revolution

Have you fallen for the Republican mythology that they are better for the economy than Democrats are?
