OMG, this xkcd had me cracking up! DH didn’t get it, but DH doesn’t have to fend off the influence of the evil Koch brothers at his place of work.
Stephen King is awesome. Awesome article on taxes.
Scalzi was on Oprah in the 1990s being adorbs.
Laura Vanderkam granted my wish and made a blog post about the lump of labor policy. It’s still not a sound-bite worthy of Neil Degrasse Tyson, but it’s something I can point reporters to if they start calling me again. (It’s been a few months!)
We were in this week’s carnival of personal finance.

I like Stephen King. I used to read almost everything he wrote for a while. I particularly like his book “On Writing.”

I’m so glad you posted that link to the Stephen King article. Thank God someone’s talking reason. “Tough shit for you guys….” LOL!

That XKCD cartoon made me snort my morning tea. My DBA recently told me I should read Ayn Rand. I politely changed the subject, because a good contract DBA is hard to find…
