2008-04-17 17:03:00 Sorry about the whole “not blogging all that much” thing, Internet, but the past few weeks I just haven’t been myself. I’ve been George Hamilton, hanging out with Imelda Marcos and eating Ritz crackers and watching Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles for the bajillionth time (it’s a skunk, you silly Brit!), all the while goading your young to pursue the “healthy” tan. My, what a healthy tan. Hey Internet! Wanna know how to make fun of the retardeds and get away with it? Step 1: Make fun of the retardeds. [note: i like to hold my arm close to my body with my wrist bent and make noises.] Step 2: When people give you their scornful looks complete with furrowed brow, tell them this: “Scorn me not, mother, for it’s not that I’m making fun of the retardeds but, rather, I’m pretending to be a retarded so I can better understand their plight.” That will most assuredly shut their smug mouths, as the guilt of false accusatio...

The Pointless Fight Over The “I” Word
2008-02-26 19:30:00 So it appears that our nation’s governors have met with President George W. Milhous Bush about more funding for infrastructure projects and come away empty (here – more of the same from the Bushco cabal)…Bush this month signed an economic stimulus package to send $300 to $1,200 rebate checks to millions of Americans and to offer tax incentives to businesses. He opposed including infrastructure projects because “it's not really a stimulative way to get the economy going,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said Monday.I can see that Perino knows as much about economics as he does concerning the Cuban Missile Crisis (here).To get an example of a country investing in infrastructure and experiencing economic growth as a result, this tells you the following about Thailand…The Thai economy has been stalled due to a crisis in confidence, owing largely to the political and policy uncertainties that followed the Sept 19, 2006, coup. ''Many are not spending, because of unc...

Peter Piper picked another peck of pointless polls
2008-01-19 02:04:00 I would imagine that these are probably going to be the last polls released for tomorrow’s South Carolina GOP primary, or at least the last ones that I’m going to cover because they all say the same exact thing. With that lovely introduction, here are the latest (and hopefully final) polls from Zogby International and Survey USA: Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby John McCain - 29% Mike Huckabee - 22% Mitt Romney - 15% Fred Thompson - 13% Ron Paul - 4% Rudy Giuliani - 2% Undecided - 9% Survey USA John McCain - 31% Mike Huckabee - 27% Mitt Romney - 17% Fred Thompson - 16% Ron Paul - 5% Rudy Giuliani - 2% Undecided - 2% Note: I called these polls “pointless” in the headline for two reasons: 1. Not because they are wrong, but on the contrary, because they all pretty much have the same results; 2. The alliteration worked well. Share This Share This

Car Insurance - Pointless Penalty Points
2007-12-13 01:55:00 In the world of car insurance, licence endorsements or penalty points are something that have always been frowned upon, with premiums for such drivers generally being anything up to four times higher than those with squeaky clean licences.This could all be set to change though.According to a spokesman from Swinton, one of the UKs biggest motor insurances companies -"Penalty points used to be the yardstick for dangerous drivers, but with up to 10million drivers collecting them, they are so common place that they have almost become pointless".Instead of penalising motorists, Swinton say that they intend to treat motorists with six or nine points on their licence, the same as those with no points."We will be looking at each driver as an individual and not automatically upping the cost of their premium if they have six penalty points on their licence," Swinton added.Such measures may be viewed as unfair by motorists that have kept their licences clean. However, with the boom in speed ca...
Today's Fed Meeting Pointless
2007-12-11 15:40:00 Normally on Fed meeting day, a big deal is made as to whether the Fed will cut, hold or raise its key overnight lending rate that affects interest for credit cards, auto loans and certain types of short term mortgage rates.Today, I don't really care.It's already a foregone conclusion the Fed will cut rates, the question is how much: .25% or .5%. Either way it doesn't matter too much.The way the mortgage market is turning out, only the borrowers with the best credit are going to get the best rates. For "prime" borrowers with average credit scores, rates have jumped. The Fed can't help them.Subprime rates are fairly static, so a Fed rate cut doesn't help those kinds of borrowers either. The only rates that may be substantially affected by the Fed are FHA loans...ARMs in particular. And who wants an ARM these days?What about the dollar? Won't the Fed lowering rates affect the value of the dollar? Yes, but our economic partners in Europe and Canada have seen fit to lower t...

A Pointless 2004 Rehash
2007-11-21 22:38:00 Memo to Clark Hoyt based on this ? keep working on your John Edwards coverage; you still don?t have it right.I?m not sure why it is of any importance whatsoever to Kate Zernike of the New York Times that Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry told audiences at campaign stops in 2004 that ?help is on the way,? when John Edwards, campaigning as the vice-presidential nominee said ?hope is on the way? because Edwards wasn?t comfortable with ?help.?Thus begins yet another thinly sourced piece of hit ?journalism? aimed at Edwards in the Times today (and on the front page, no less), portraying him as a cagey opportunist who used his chance on the ticket with Kerry to promote his own eventual presidential bid, questioning his allegiance to Kerry in the process.I would save my disgust only for the Times and Zernike (admitting that covering the ?04 campaign is fair game without the innuendo from a newspaper that, at this point, would probably be doing Edwards a service if it ignored him a...

A Pointless Entry I'll Probably Delete Later

Google Adwords Content Network - Pointless
2007-10-16 12:46:00 The thought of using content network at the beginning of the “adwords” saga seemed to be a great idea. You build a new campaign and expect it to drive masses of quality traffic to your site. WRONG. All it really provides us nowadays is useless “impressions” and no clicks. You look at your latest AVG “CTR” and it displays 0.01% which is becoming ever more frequent across the board with individuals and agencies. This figure is obviously poor and more so damaging your campaigns “quality score”. “Quality score” is like a credit score. The better it is, the more there is available to you. Over time the quality score reflects how much you pay when positioning your ads. Poor “Quality Score” = Higher “CPC” prices - higher ad positioning Great “Quality Score” = Lower “CPC” prices - higher ad positioning The conclusion here is why use “Content Network”. It doesn&rsquo...

Pointless Proposal: EU Seeks to Ban Access to Bomb-Making Instructions Onli
2007-09-21 21:29:00 The EU is considering a proposal that would ban websites that post instructions on bomb-making. The proposal is interesting because it does not appear to focus on criminalizing the websites. Instead it puts the burden on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block access to these sites. While the EU says this is a not an infringement on speech, the ISPs are balking. First it would be a tremendous technical hassle for them and if they failed to successfully block the sites they could be held liable...(read more)
