where's MY bailout ???!!!

How the heck did all this financial "crisis" happen (again!) I seem to remember a little thing called Sarbanes Oxley Act that was supposed to hold companies accountable for their financial statements. So, what happened ? How long have the numbers been tanking before the "bailout" is now needed ? We're pretty quick to help put a band aid on a problem and less enthusiastic about teaching or providing long term help.

Clearly these firms didn't have investments in the oil market

Yeah, we're cool..we know it !

What I'm reading - Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman

I've read several pieces that reference this book as a "must read" for any aspiring observer/writer. I started it last night and I'm trying to get into the spirit of the verse. I don't know if I'll get there or not, but it will be good to try.


"Leaves of Grass (1855) is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman. Among the poems in the collection are "Song of Myself," "I Sing the Body Electric," "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking," and in later editions, Whitman's elegy to the assassinated President Abraham Lincoln, "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd." Whitman spent his entire life writing Leaves of Grass,[1] revising it in several editions until his death."

I'm back !

For no particular reason, i took the summer off from posting. I've got the time and energy once again to post...and actually discovered that the act of Blogging is actually considered a "job skill" these days.

So here we go...back into my head, my eyes and my heart.
