Wonderful OpEd piece from the Wall Street Journal today: Seattle Workers Pay for the Minimum Wage A new study says the $13 wage is a killer for lower-wage workers. Some laws of economics are so obvious that they require hundreds of papers to prove, and a classic example is the minimum wage, which increases the... Continue Reading →
Ellen Pao: Making a Difference, One Frivolous Lawsuit at a Time
When some people hear the terms Ellen Pao and Frivolous Lawsuit in the same breath, their minds go to Ellen's husband and better half, Alphonse "Buddy" Fletcher Jr. Nice man, nice man. Made a fortune in filing frivolous racial discrimination lawsuits (reference below:). So now that you have good-guy Buddy's background and you know that... Continue Reading →
Pascal’s Wager Paying Off Big League!!!
The driver of this Toyota Avalon really pulled a fast one on the old man upstairs! This man wagered...wisely. Also, disregard the Flyin' Hawaiian on my dash. She serves as a constant reminder of my white privilege. Speaking of cars facts, I guarantee you this guy insists on driving a stick: And finally, this man... Continue Reading →
Hot Sauce, Home Eats, and Hymens (and Arrested Development)
Bitch, please... I've wanted to say that all day. You all need to go out and buy this Walkerswood Jonkanoo Seriously Hot Jamaican Pepper Sauce. Pretty hot at first but as you get half way through the bottle on day two or three, you'll get used to it and fall in love. Last night, I... Continue Reading →
Song of the Day (3/18/2017)
Yo-hooooooo!!!!! Happy St. Patrick's day to all of you who like to think you have some Irish blood. Perhaps one day Ireland will be relevant on the world stage and you can be proud of that ancestry. For the time being, let's just douse that jingoism with shitty Irish beer and have the Irish Catholic... Continue Reading →
Regulators…Song of the Day (2/16/2017)
I've been burning my ones and fives since the inaugeration. Figured they'll be pulled out of circulation following Donny T's infrastructure plan and Damnit Janet's war on the dollar. I miss my boy Ben Shalom Bernanke. Today's song of the day is a shoutout to my homie-g, Burly Bernanke...it's Regulate by Warren G ft. Nate... Continue Reading →
Arrested Development and Whey Protein
Happy Friday! Flash back to high school girls in the 1980s! Apparently people are still doing this obnoxious pose in their photos, giving me the perfect opportunity to slide in an Arrested Development reference: Jere's deep level of pontificating led me to do some of my own. I received a photo of my money manager and... Continue Reading →
Song of the Day (11/17/2016)…and more
GOOD MORNING, U. S. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Definitely not scrounging for song ideas - have some great ones to share in the coming weeks/months. I'll do my best to keep the music style and period varied but there are some bands and songs that are absolutely off limits: mainly Gnarls Barkley, Bob Dylan, and Bryan Adams' Summer...

Jeb! and his Vision for Iraq 3.0: Mission Accomplished 2.0
...or at least it would've been had the softer, more ocularly protruding Bush brother not gone down in ignominious defeat. Alas, my bromance with the Bush clan was put to bed by the youthful wiles of the man in orange. Given that Bush's lead was trimmed down to nearly nothing thereby leaving him with a...

Roommates, Young and Old
Here's a great two minute clip about a twenty seven year old student and an eighty nine year old retiree living together. So sweet. And because Musings and Malarkey can't be entirely rainbows and butterflies, here's a thought for you finance homies. Apple's (AAPL) share price recently fell to $112, off a fifty two week...
