I Didn't Think One Day

The Idea That It's Smart To Allow Wall Street Firms, With This "too Big To Fail" Imprimatur, To Become Hedge Funds Again - It's Unconscionable. You're Essentially Saying We're Going To Take Some Elites In Our Society And Let Them Roll The Bones In The Marketplace, And If It Works Out They Get Rich, And If It Doesn't Work Out The Taxpayer Comes In Again. That Seems Absolutely Crazy To Me. That Seems To Be Where They're Headed. I Mean, Maybe They're Not And I'm Wrong. Maybe They'll Do Sensible Things. It's Hard To Know! There Doesn't Seem To Be A Plan.

The Red Sox Are A Curious Thing Because So Much Here Is Media Driven. You Can't Go Fire Half Your Scouts Here Because They Are All Friends With The Local Reporters. Your Life Is Going To Hell In The Papers.

I Procrastinate To A Point Where I'm Filled With Self-loathing And Then I Start Writing. It's Usually A State Of Self-loathing That Gets Me Going.
