My head is full of fog and bond valuation formulas and hedging strategies and annuity formulas and fog and 2-year deferred 1-year forward rates and stock option formulas and fog, but any day in which the execrable Fred Phelps and family are down $11 million is a good one.

… well. (For my brother, who taught English in Japan.)

To the girl in the “police officer” costume, replete with short skirt and knee-high boots, in Vermont Street BBQ tonight: I love you.
That’s probably all I’ve got until after the test. But I’m feeling my usual ornery and alienated self, so I’m sure I’ll have some more things to say then.

This is about all I have the energy for anymore. Bear with me.

Bill on why executive power really expands, and why it isn’t going to contract. And why I laugh contemptuously at people who think it will.

She ought to. But she won’t win.
You know why?
Maybe, through their high school history project, these students could do Irena Sendler’s story justice.
But no one in Uniontown, Kan., could have imagined how far the 10-minute play they would write and perform would take them.
Or that they’d find themselves so eager for Friday morning when, in Oslo, Norway, the Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced. Observers focus on a handful of finalists: Al Gore, Canadian environmentalist Sheila Watt-Cloutier, Bolivian President Evo Morales.
And Irena Sendler.
That’s why.

Attention, eateries of Lawrence: I can be bought.
Some people think that’s the problem with blogs — that it’s too easy to cover up quid pro quo. I don’t think it’s any worse than in traditional journalism (and the related problem of bloggers/journalists choosing to shill for the cause, pro bono — a problem that I actually think is worse in journalism than blogging, since most bloggers don’t pretend to objectivity).
Anyway, I am pleased to announce that I would totally shill for any Lawrence restaurant for food.

I have removed the archive page from the buttons in the upper-right and moved them to a collapsible list in the sidebar. The plugin I had been using to implement the archive was broken by the upgrade.
