After college when I moved out of my parents’ house, they kept my dog Guinness, the black-and-tan Shepherd mix seen here, playing with the new puppy, Rumor. Two best dogs in the world, hands down.
Living adjacent to a schoolyard, Rumor finds all sorts of wayward balls in our yard. This is one such baseball, she proceeded to tear the leather off this one.
Also, she loves hanging her head out the car window.
It is convenient that immediately preceding the current credit-crunch, a few notable things happened. The bankruptcy code was changed, and the laws surrounding the payment structure for unsecured debt were changed, which resulted in minimum payments that are about twice what they previously were. Shortly thereafter, the Federal Reserve began targeting higher short term rates (the discount rate) which results in contraction of the monetary base, and a diminution of the supply of loanable funds. If you were a politically connected banking insider, you probably knew all about these turns of events before they happened, and were able to profit immensely.
The annual safety belt enforcement blitz is under way, in Michigan. A Public Announcement commercial advises that “Right now, it’s the one thing [cops] are looking for.”
Having eradicated all other crime, of course.
Still, some drivers Tuesday were unaware they were driving through an enforcement zone.
…ummm, shouldn’t all areas be “enforcement zones”? Just asking.
The good news is that people in the “comments” section are calling it “fascist”.
