Well, it happened. Today we all woke up in a world where the President of the United States presumably has the power to declare a national emergency to spend any money on any project he or she wants, without Congress.

There’s nothing like watching all your single friends getting depressed around February 13 or so when they realize they don’t have any Valentine’s Day plans. Though there really was a St. Valentine and his matyrdom has been celebrated by Catholics for 1500 years, it is only recently that it became the Hallmark holiday of all…

There will be much coverage of this news. The only thing I wish to assert here is, the circumstances and the name of the alleged…

I don’t usually buy WiFi in the air, but I had to this time to deal with some on-the-ground logistics for an upcoming ski trip. Those having been dealt with, I am now sitting in a comfortable United Economy Plus seat looking out over an endless field of dark clouds, getting some work done and…
