Bubbles

	There is much talk these days about bubbles. The mortgage or real estate bubble, the tech bubble, and the soon to pop commercial real estate bubble. Bubbles, like all forms of growth within a finite system, are unsustainable. Most media talk about bubbles focuses on those of the financial type. But there is another bubble that is currently being created. This bubble concerns me the most. People with nothing left to loose are being created at a very high rate. When does the poor and disadvantaged bubble pop?

Matt Meets The Queen

	"Sir, the Queen has entered the reception." "Thank you Jentili, now please remain inconspicuous." "She's only two people away from you now Sir." "That was very helpful Jentili, I thought it was Lord Goldsmith in drag." "How do you do your Majesty?" "Very well, thank you Mr. Mental." "You know your Majesty, I was walking in downtown London maybe twenty years ago; and I looked up, and there was your mother waving to me from a car." "Well, isn't that lovely." "She was wearing a sky blue dress and hat." "It was one of her favourite colours." "I have only one question your Majesty: was your mother in fact there?" "Mister Mental, who is that irritating person behind you?"

Is Your Life Like This?

	The sun is setting, it's starting to rain. You're tired and low on gas. You keep running down the road. You're lost, but you keep running down the road. You know its the wrong way, but you keep on going. You wait for that turn off into the golden light. You hope it comes as you press on. You live on hope, waiting to get off the road so you can breath easy again. Is your life like this?

Net Brain Syndrome

	As our internet use increases, our attention span shortens. This results in increasing shallowness of field. This in turn, leads to evolutionary changes where our brains assume the shape of our perceptual habits. We shall become flatheads or pancakeoids. I propose the term: 'internetencephalitis'. I think you've seen enough now.

Where Were You When

	If Jesus comes back, he will have to spend a significant amount of time answering all those questions that begin with 'Where were you when...'. Or, he could hire a PR firm.

US Saves UK from Dalek Invasion

Dead Dalek

The US has removed its nuclear weapons from Britain, after over half a century of successful deployment.

Based upon a study by the Federation of American Scientists, the last 110 American nuclear weapons in the UK were removed from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk on orders given by President George Bush.

According to an acquaintance of former Prime Minister Blair: "We're certain that the presence of the weapons stopped an immanent Dalek invasion. Thanks to that arsenal, Britain is Dalek-free today. I think I speak for all of we British, that, in the end, the neck of the Dalek tyranny, has been broken, as it were, a chicken."

How To Manage Your Time While Burning It

	People want instant gratification because they are afraid to wait because waiting burns time.  People want your credentials vetted before you speak because they are afraid to listen, because listening involves waiting.  People want massive documentation as they scream "prove it!!!" because they like to assign you tasks that burn your time as punishment for exposing them to a new idea.   People want entitlement to a position of superiority over you in matters of argument because they are afraid of being wrong, and self correction takes time. People punish you when you disturb their inertia by tapping their supply of time. People punish you by burning your time. You only become a victim of their punishment, if you wait for them.
