So I've been listening to the talk radio show hosts and guess what they're all talking about?
That's right, the housing debacle.
And not that I'm criticizing them, or belittling them, but they're...
I was angry before, which prompted me to write my book. But now I am livid. With a potential $1 trillion bill facing the taxpayers, I am at a loss for words to describe my sincere hatred for bankers....
Just spreading the misery. It's about as bad as it's been since the last real recession;
I had just finished a very long day at YellowstoneNational Park. Did the whole geyser tour, hiked about a cumulative of 5 miles in the sulphur smelling gas they exude and then decided to climbMt. Washburn...
OK, so I just watched Shoot 'Em Up.
Hands down the best movie in the past decade.
Pointless, impossible, mindless, action shoot em up, ultimate guy flick.
If you have nothing to do for the...
I was berated one time for ripping out the tag of the back of my shirt by a girl who shall go unnamed. Presumably, I was supposed to let the thing itch the living daylights out of me for years to come....
As you know your Captain wrote a book a couple years ago. It was titled "Behind the Housing Crash" and my own personal bias aside, it was a brilliant and foresightful book. Everyone who has bought it has...
When in high school I got personalized plates that said "MCLANE" for my 1978 Cutlass Supreme (spent $50 on it).
I still have them hanging above my bar.
That is because John McClane is one of the...
I've been watching this movie go through all these various production problems and it's pissing me off because this is one of the few movies I was looking forward to seeing. And I cannot help that with...
Wow, who would have guessed a defeatist film like Stop Loss would have failed like "Lions for Lambs?"
It actually gives me hope that there is some kind of "silent majority" that is sick of the constant...
I was always fly light and if I need to wear a suit, I wear it on the plane. It is because of the fear that they will lose my luggage and my vacation/business will be impaired. So on I go with my laptop...
So I wanted to see Rambo. I will admit it, I wanted to see Rambo. Never got around to it.
Also wanted to see In the Name of the King. Never got around to that one either.
And it occurred to me...
Economists of the male persuasion, lend me your ears.
Valentine's Day as we know is merely a wealth transfer created by corporate America. But sadly one cannot even consider it a genuine "wealth" transfer...
I was cleaning out the Captain's Cave and came across the OECD Pocketbook that I got for free when I filled out a survey and while paging through it came across one of my favorite charts that shows both...
As all you aspiring, junior, deputy, official or otherwise economists out there know, I the Captain, write a fair amount. However, what you did not know is that during this past summer I decided to start...
There are many "deal breakers" for the Captain when it comes to dating.
Like being married and not telling me. That's kind of a deal breaker.
Or playing all those "Middle School Girl Reindeer Games."...
Despite the star power and all the hype, I predicted that Lions for Lambs would fail. And the reasons are many, but primarily two;
1. It's just isn't that great of an idea for a movie. People don't...
So I saw American Gangster last night and it hands down is one of the best films I've seen in a long time. However, American Gangster is more an appropriate title than you might think in that Frank Lucas...
One of my favorite movies is "The Last Boy Scout." Damon Wayans is getting grilled by the cops about the location of Bruce Willis (Joe Hallenbeck), to which he responds;
"Look, I'll say it again for...
The days of being a loyal, hard working blue collar man are long gone in the United States. With increasing wealth, rich parents for the rich kids, and the bevy of government programs for the poor kids,...
