- Earnings from MSFT and CHP. Microsoft says they've sold 6 million XBOX 360s! I don't own one, btw. Chesapeake reported profit that soared on higher production and revenues, coupled with gains from hedging programs. Hedging programs? Interesting the way companies try to protect themselves from rising or falling energy prices. I wonder why the airlines don't try some of that? Maybe they are. Dunno.
- President Bush approves 700 miles of fence along the border with Mexico. What do you think this fence is going to look like? Here's a visual: Baby gates along the border. About 3 feet high. Durable plastic. Hard to open in the middle.
- The debate over stem cells is raging again, as Michael J Fox stirs some controversy with his recent pro-research ad. Of course, folks like Rush Limbaugh love to make headlines going against "the liberal press." Lost in the controversy is the reality that folks are actually suffering from chronic diseases.
- I loved the Back to the Future trilogy, btw. And remember, Michael J. Fox played teenage Neo-con Alex P. Keaton in the show Family Ties.
- Exercise prevents colds! Alcohol prevents heart attacks! Where is the study on what strip clubs prevent?
