You think I’m jokin’ ya when I tell you we are in serious danger of becoming vassals of the State?  That our individual Liberties are being eroded to the point of nothing?

Outlaw Water Main Breaks

Posted on May 5, 2010 | 3 comments

It would seem that elected officials in Boston aren’t satisfied with altering the laws of men; they also would like to change the laws of nature.  And stuff.  So I offer them this unsolicited advice:

Stop nibbling at the edges and just legislate away water main breaks.

Doc, It Hurts When I Do This

Posted on May 5, 2010 | Leave a comment

You know the old saw…A patient goes to see a doctor and complains that “it hurts when I do this”.  To which the doctor replies somewhat simply, “Then stop doing that”!

Right Question. Wrong Time. Bad Indication.

Posted on May 3, 2010 | 4 comments

In my line of work I out a lot of fires.  For many many years, I was on call 7 by 24.  7 days a week.  I took my laptop with me to the beach for 9 days when I got married.  My daughter was 14 days old when we went to the hospital with her; I was on the phone with a client during her stay.

Pino knows crisis.

May 3, 2010: Chance of Recession in the Next 12 Months — 00.055%

Posted on May 3, 2010 | 1 comment

Nothing has changed in one month.  The New York Fed continues to report the chance of Recession at 0.055%.  Looking good heading into summer.

As a note, the NBER usually reports that a recession has ended about 20 months after that recession ended.  I have been saying the “current” recession ended in the end of May, 2009.  20 months after May 2009 is January 2011.  Some folks think I’m early, which means NBER won’t report until AFTER February 2011.  We have a bit of a wait.

Chance of Recession May, 2011

The State of the State of Arizona

Posted on April 30, 2010 | Leave a comment

Arizona has really shook up the dialogue in America right now.  They are ground zero not only in the crossing of immigrants from South America into North America, but they are now ground zero for the solution.  I’m not sure if Arizona was honestly trying to protect herself or if Arizona passed this law in an effort to set fire under America.  Either way, the effect is the same.  America has noticed.
