Thursday Throwaways

Vexing Question
Definition of an MBA: a person who has the answer to all the questions but one, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?"

Finally, we have an answer:

Intelligence has nothing to do with wealth, according to a US study published Tuesday which found that people with below average smarts were just as wealthy as those with higher IQ scores

That's a relief. Now I have the answer to all the questions.

You Can Tell A Man's Politics by What He Fears
Former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani said that the country will be more vulnerable to terrorism if a Democrat were elected President in 2008. Barack Obama provided one typical reaction: "Rudy Giuliani today has taken the politics of fear to a new low and I believe Americans are ready to reject those kind of politics."

Based on what they've been talking about recently, Democrats are scared about something else:

Scientists at the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predict that global temperatures could rise between 2 and 6 degrees Fahrenheit in the 100 years, resulting [in] a rise of one to three feet in global sea level by 2100.

Terrorist attack in 2008 vs. wearing hip waders in 2100? Call me stupid (see earlier post), but I'm with Giuliani.

Enjoyment
Sharks and Warriors in the playoffs, Giants and A's doing well, Dow at 13,000, a tax refund is coming, and there's finally time to test a few videogames that I got for Christmas. I'm going to enjoy today for today.

Heart of Union Square.
