Journeys without George: Big Ben and the Dreaded Daylight Savings Time
(Note: The following must be read using a British accent.)

Journeys without George: When in Belgium, do as the tourists do…
I forgot to mention what last night’s dinner actually was. I went to a nearby place called L’entrée Des Artistes. When you walk inside you’re greeted by framed photos of Hollywood stars including my boy Bobby D. (Robert DeNiro). I counted at least two Tom [...]
From the top: Mom dropped me off at the Highland bus station Wednesday afternoon for the journey north to O’Hare.

Our friend Molly Lyons over at FOX News’ Live Desk (@livedesk on Twitter) sent out a note asking the tweeting masses about their thoughts on the Obama Administration’s plan to curb executive pay on Wall Street. Since my less than 140 character response to her was…well…short…here’s more.
This is a dangerous slippery slope. @newmediajim pointed out [...]
Here’s what I’ll be thinking about this weekend, let me know if you have any thoughts.
1) Will we still be talking about AIG with the same furor come Monday? We are. Thanks to an investigation by the CT AG, we know the bonus $$ was actually bigger than we thought. Today, Obama [...]
