Going to a show

I know I didn't post this morning as I have been trying to, but that was because I was throwing things into a car to go to a rabbit show.

Yes, my rabbits (some of them) got a chance to be seen and be judged on their appearance and how well the conform to the standards of excellence established by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.

4 rabbits competed, and all did fairly well.  (although the competition wasn't the best.  Only 26 rabbits showed up to compete in the Netherland dwarf "open" shows so some of my rabbits were in classes by themselves.)

And ...

Mortgag4e meltdown



The financial world has been shocked by the sudden crash in
the so called “Sub-prime” lending market. 
For years major investment funds had freely purchased bonds that paid
interest based on the repayment of subprime mortgage loans and now many of
those outstanding bonds are in default. 
Now the market is trying to predict how the sudden default of millions
of dollars of bonds will change future investment decisions.





Now I’m not an investment advisor, and I don’t follow any
particular stock or bond, however, I do try to follow the macro-economic world
and what I’m seeing and hearing suggests that Wall Street is still ...

Reading your Rabbit

if you own a rabbit after a while you'll begin to learn about its individual moods and habits, but there are a few distinctive signs that all rabbits seem to use.  This will be a quick primer in how to tell the mood of your rabbit.

"Thump"

Anyone who owns a rabbit will someday hear their rabbit Thump.  Now this isn't the sit down while pounding the ground thuimping that appeared in Disney's movie Bambi.  Instead to Thump a rabbit will put both front paws on the ground and then hit the ground with both of their hind legs.  It creates a ... << MORE >>

Why government "spending" is an oxymoron

I think one of the easiest mistakes most people make when looking at government is the misinterpretation of government actions involving the distribution of money.  All too often it gets labeled "spending" but in an economic sense its no more spending than if you took $20 out of your wallet and handed it to your 6 year old child.

This is a dangerous problem because it allows the government and those that support having an oversized government to continue to act recklessly in regards to obtaining and distributing the income of hard working citizens.  Government does not have a requirement to ...

Movie Review: Stardust

I try to avoid writing reviews of most movies I watch and books I read.  I don't want to spoil the experience for others who might not have had the opportunity to enjoy the experience yet.

However, after watching Stardust, I want to post a few thoughts as its an excellent movie that will probably be missed by many people.

One thing I noticed about Stardust was taht while it was heavily advertised on the Scifi Channel and on other channels showing series that might appeal to the scifi and fantasy crowd, there wasn't a lot of advertising directed to the general ... << MORE >>

a review? (Flash Gordon on SciFi Channel)

And now for something completely different from bunnies and bucks.  I am a fan of most science fiction and fantasy.  Movie or book it doesn't matter, as long as the storyline is strong and the writers show a modicum of imagination.  So it was with some hope that I watched the new SciFi Channel pilot for Flash Gordon last night.

I was disappointed.

Now I'll admit that I went in prepared to compare this new series not only with the 1980 movie, which set new highs for camp and frivolity when it came out, but also to the old serials.  I had ...
