Cold as hell here, but I’ll leave the mountain lions outside, thank you very much.

“Democratic pundits are calling on their party to court working-class and non-coastal whites in the wake of this month’s electoral rout. But the Democratic Party is now dominated by identity politics, which defines whites, particularly heterosexual males, as oppressors of every other population in the United States. Why should the targets of such thinking embrace an ideology that scorns them?”

Hm. Now there’s a head-scratcher.

And I’m out with a 15.73% profit.

Most money I ever made in 40 minutes. It’ll probably go higher over the day(s), but I don’t like tempting fate or owning non-dividend paying stocks.

I hereby classify my first foray into day trading a success. Ain’t gonna do it again unless a very special situation arises like it did today. It’s just too damn scary.

I don’t like carnival rides either.

The incoming Treasury secretary Mnuchin says we will get out of GSEs, or government-sponsored enterprises (which is Obama-ese for socialism).

Whether or not this is actually going to happen, and whether or not this is a good thing doesn’t matter because both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are up over 7% pre-market in just the last hour. When the market opens at 7:30 mountain time, I’ll probably dive in and ride them up into Profit Land because I am a vicious and heartless capitalist who wants some more fucking money.

Good morning, America.

Man euthanised because he's an alcoholic

Man euthanised because he's an alcoholic:

Uh oh. Seriously, this is just grapefruit juice! No gin anywhere!

I am here, adding salt to my peanut butter, like some sort of lunatic.

Every time I buy something that’s “reduced sodium”, it tastes like it needs salt.

No more.

Term Limits

I used to be for them. I was like the rabble in saying “Yeah, clean out Congress! Fuck those guys! New blood!” The more I thought about it, however, the more I realized I was just being a dick. Our Congress IS term limited. For the House it’s 2 years, for the Senate 6 years.

To limit them, all you gotta do is vote against them.

I came to view term limits as essentially telling people who they are not allowed to vote for, and I simply can’t be a fan of that.

Just think, we’d all be looking forward to Obama’s third term right now…
