Q: Why have hedge funds gotten so large?

Really, this is not a joke.

A: Because they have huge amounts of OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY to invest.

That money is often from large pools of investments. Like retirement funds.

If the public employees do not like the way their future is being manipulated by the power elite in collaboration with their media puppets, maybe the public employees should take control of the puppet strings.

Hermila Garcia Quinones was murdered in Los Garcia, Mexico on Monday morning, November 29, 2010. She had taken the position of Chief of Police of Meoqui on October 9 because no-one else would.

While un-named gunmen carried out the murder, it is the direct result of US and world policy enforcing a modern prohibition against Cannabis.

Despite efforts by tea baggers like Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell to discredit intellectuals, I am writing today to emphasize that it is OK to be smart.

Just like it is OK to say that Usain Bolt is fast, or that Andre the Giant was strong, it is ok to say that one person is smarter than another.

It is important that we understand this now because anti-intellectualism is a dangerous and powerful weapon in the hands of the power hungry.

I do not know which is worse, getting mail from Chuck Norris, or finding out that it is a trap, inducing voter fraud by an unsuspecting citizen.

It starts out innocently enough when it says:

"You think you are ready to hunt because you've got the gear and the licenses. But you don't have the one thing you really need- A voter registration card."

It is not really that simple. While Chuck Norris encourages you to "Get tough- register to vote," the use of these forms raises questions about the tactics being used to circumvent voter registration laws.

The Health Care debate has become mired in partisan posturing. Rather than pursue a no-win situation, we need to identify a unifying theme. That theme is to re-cast health care reform as a War On Disease!

My gay brother texted me the other day asking if I was pro gay marriage.

My response was that I was amateur gay marriage.

He really liked that.

The approval of torture by the Bush administration seemed to come from the highest levels, and it seems that this use of torture was largely futile. There is tremendous precedent for use of torture and the body of information suggests strongly that the information gained is largely useless.

There is, however, one frustrating argument in favor of the use of torture to extract information from non-cooperative individuals and it goes like this:

There is a bomb that will go off in 24 hours and it is in the middle of a huge metropolitan area. If you can 'extract' this information, you can save millions of people.

While torture if repugnant and goes against everything that we have come to believe in, how does one deal with a situation like this?

Michael Phelps got caught smoking pot. He was obliged to make a public mea culpa and rationalized his behavior as immature:

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment, ... I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

Michael Phelps is arguably the best swimmer ever. Other people who have acknowledged smoking marijuana also have risen to the highest levels of accomplishment (eg. Barack Obama). Is it time to re-evaluate what it means to be a pot smoker?

Just a quick note to get this into the mix, The Colorado Independent is reporting that a Dibold Accu-Vote machine has been taken out of service and impounded after it repeatedly changed a vote for a Democratic candidate to the Republican challenger.

"I have quarantined the machine," Long told the newspaper. "It’s removed and it’s sealed up and it’s in a bag." She said she is awaiting instructions from the secretary of state’s office.

The news of vote flipping and touch-screens requiring frequent 'calibration' has got some people in a snit.
