I can’t help rolling my eyes when I hear sound bytes of legislators bickering and fomenting over the “outrageous” bonuses paid to AIG execs after AIG received huge amounts of taxpayer money.   I love this quote from Tom McGuire in his JustOneMinute blog:“bashing highly paid Wall Street financiers peddling products no one understands is a lot more fun than bashing a bunch of collateral clerks doing something or other about which no one cares.”In the words of Armed Liberal, “Fewer pitchforks, more calculators please.”

I’ve started this blog as a place to record and post ideas that come along faster than I can distribute them.  I am juggling many ideas and topics at the same time, and email just isn’t efficient enough (er — I’m just not efficient enough) to get the ideas out to everyone that might be interested.  And sometimes I actually bug people by repeating myself. Oops!So I’ll start putting my ideas into writing and let people browse at their convenience or subscribe.
