The Riddler

Ha! Before I even begin to write this post I love my title. It reminds me of how I want the candidates to start using the phrase, "Riddle me this" before they say anything.

The reason I did title this The Riddler though, was because I drew a whole bunch of question marks on someone's hamburger buns in my house. You see, I saw them untouched in our pantry for about three weeks and finally decided to check them out. Of course they had become white and moldy. So I put them in plain sight and drew question marks all over them. The culprit apparently either didn't confess or didn't see them, as they remained there for three days.

So the stock market/wall street is all messed up. I really wish I understood how all of that works but its just beyond me right now. I guess I'm glad I don't have any stocks or anything. I will say that I predicted gas prices will fall, particularly to a low point around Nov. 4. I have also been saying that capitalism has perhaps passed its peak. I'm no economist, but I do read The Economist. In the end, I believe it comes down to a balancing act of government regulation and free-markets. Otherwise, the only restriction on free-markets is conscience. And I don't necessarily trust most people. Although I should.

Yesterday was a little cloudy, and apparently that somehow translates into Ugg season at USD again. Riddle me this, how the hell are those boots still in style?

i agree with you - sometimes socialization of losses is required to continue privatization of income.

i think hiking boots should be the new uggs.
