Lots o’ lynx…
- Google stuff. So much of this is great. Why is Feedburner so difficult for me?
- Can the US Punish BP’s Shareholders? The editors of the New York Times asked that question. Is there any doubt that the US could freeze their assets and confiscate every dime? And would that be “punishment?” The NYT takes a swing and misses, bigtime. FAIL.
- Obama summons BP chiefs to White House.
- RSA Boss Slams Barack Obama In BP Row. Brass balls, that’s what the insurance guy who wrote this tract must have. To imply equivalence between the the President of the United States and the Chairman of BP is a bit of a stretch. To offer the President advice from that side of the Atlantic is more than a stretch, it’s presumptuous as hell.
- RSA Ordinary Shares. A chart showing that the presumptuous know-it-all in the previous link has led his company to lose about a third of its value since Obama was elected.
- Gulf spill insurance exposure tops $1.6B: Moody’s. A story showing why the English insurance guy who wrote the “open letter” linked above may be a less than disinterested party.
- Meet the US States that will default on their debt first. We can only hope that English banks and insurance companies are holding these notes.

Hi Frank. Thanks for the self help tips. I’ve been trying to get a full 10 hours of sleep but lately my Mensa meetings have been running late. And I’m at the level where I have to go around apologizing to all the people I may have offended in any former uncontrolled supercilious moments. I suppose I shouldn’t miss so many meetings but the neighborhoods have been getting progressively worse. I find myself depending more and more on my sponsor lately.
Oh, and now that I’ve got your attention, remember that time years ago when I demolished your theory about where babies come from? Sorry buddy. Really I am. But, like it or not, the truth hurts!Do you geniuses still meet in the library basement? I’ll bet the coffee is as bad as it ever was. I offered to buy the group an espresso machine; but, sadly even bribery wouldn’t get me in. Whatever. I think the whole “Friends of Albert” thing is a little twee. Maybe that’s just sour grapes.

If I was you I’d ditch the sponsor and get an iPhone.

Also, your story about where babies come from was gross. I remain convinced that my mom would never have permitted any of that, and that my delivery was by parcel post air mail via stork just as she told me it was. Apology NOT accepted!
OK. You win.
