Androcass: April 2009
http://androcass.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Thursday, April 30, 2009. So I will offer to my readers the opportunity to try to ferret out the mystery that is being alluded to concerning the disappearance of the blog Carrie's Nation. 160; The blog continues to link only to a message, "Blog has been removed," and I certainly have no insight as to its being gone. But 2Truthy and Melvin Toast are hinting at some kind of secret over at 2Truthy's blog in the comments. I'm sure we're ...

Androcass: June 2009
http://androcass.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Carol A. Burch at Decidedly. A week old; I'm still working on my new blogging schedule):. Success of one's people in those countries [Russia and Asia] is honored, appreciated and focused upon by each individual far more than in the United States, where emphasis is on the individual and individual achievement. Very true. We derided the old Five-Year-Plans of the Soviet Union and China, confusing execution...

Androcass: A few more...

A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Saturday, March 6, 2010. Observations about the Winter Olympics, in particular NBC's coverage of it, before the whole thing retreats from our memories. 176; Most of my most ardent feelings come from figure skating, because that's the winter sport I've followed the most closely. My brother and I used to watch it with our mother, and now I watch with my wife. When I refer. I want either information to help me understand the event bette...

Androcass: "Keeper of cool"
http://androcass.blogspot.com/2009/07/of-cool.html
A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Wednesday, July 15, 2009. What I don't like is the narrator - I've taken a visceral dislike to this guy. In the first spot, he talks about how he can appear all over the world making presentations, yet still be available for tonight's date with "the very. Lovely Rachel," and I just find something smug and smarmy about the way he delivers the phrase. First, we have "so I gathered my eighteen to meet online using WebEx," which is not w...

Androcass: February 2010
http://androcass.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Wednesday, February 24, 2010. There is an I in Olympics. 8220;What a gift she's given us.” - Sandra Bezic, NBC, 2/23/2010. Rochette chooses to skate, and, in last night's short program, skates very well and ends up scoring enough points to put her in third place at this point. I could spend some time unpacking this quote, but, if you can't see the fatuousness of it, no amount of explaining is going to help. To suggest that Rochet...

Androcass: August 2009
http://androcass.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Wednesday, August 26, 2009. They shoot, they score. CBO (Congressional Budget Office) scoring has become the hottest thing lately. CBO assessment of a health care plan, for example, is seen as definitive (at least until the results differ from what is desired, at which point the spin comes in - but the numbers themselves are rarely questioned). Perhaps we all need to take everything we're hearing with huge heaps of salt. We're seeing...

Androcass: The two great myths of health care - part 1
http://androcass.blogspot.com/2010/02/two-great-myths-of-health-care-part-1.html
A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Saturday, February 6, 2010. The two great myths of health care - part 1. But worrying about future costs is perfectly reasonable), because they seem to be carrying the day. That somewhere in the future we will end up with a near-perfect system in which everyone gets what they deserve and no one has any problems. This viewpoint is exemplified by a Kevin Drum post. However, the rationalist must then look more broadly, across all govern...

Androcass: There is an "I" in Olympics

Androcass: Notes on being away
http://androcass.blogspot.com/2009/12/notes-on-being-away.html
A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Monday, December 14, 2009. Notes on being away. Not blogging for two months has its pros and cons, but there are two I'll mention briefly. 2) Back in July I wrote a post. That was kind of a throwaway, about a radio commercial that had really bugged me (does "keeper of cool" resonate with anyone? At my current job, I get to help Indians in India with their work every day. The CEO specified the pay differential as 8:1. Thought of you j...

Androcass: Followup on health care
http://androcass.blogspot.com/2010/03/followup-on-health-care.html
A discussion of today from a place of truth (or as close as I can get). Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Followup on health care. I know that all my readers have been breathlessly anticipating my second post on the myths of health care (the first was here. I stated there that the most ardent pro-health care advocates are making, amongst the very true things they're stating, a couple of arguments that seem quite questionable. August 3, 2010 at 1:08 PM.
