Barack Obama has a lot to be Grateful for.
Surviving Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir and Bill Kreutzmann have signed on to headline a fundraiser for the Democratic presidential candidate next month in Pennsylvania.
Though Lesh, Hart and Weir jammed together at a Deadheads for Obama concert in San Francisco in February, Kreutzmann hasn't performed with all three since 2004, when they toured as the Dead.
But such is the pull that Obama appears to have. Now if he could just exercise his bridge-building prowess in the Middle East...

Slide show software for the Mac? I want to do a simple slide show with a bunch of JPEGs. Are there any "comes with" apps that I'm just not seeing? Or is there one I should buy?

One old use of the word “hark” was in hunting with hounds, meaning to turn the dogs back on their course, reverse direction. It was this use that gave rise to the expression “hark back.” It refers to returning in thought to an earlier time or returning to an earlier discussion: “That tie-died shirt harks back to the days we used to go to rock festivals together.”
The expression is not “hearkens back.” Although “hark” and “hearken” can both mean “listen,” only “hark” can mean “go back.”
A federal judge has ordered Dick Cheney to preserve a wide range of records from his time as vice president.
Good of them to warn him because he'll probably be needing new blades for his shredder
Someone is encroaching on Moody's office supply approach. Although I suspect that piece is an homage rather than an original. I think I've seen that image somewhere before.

We'll see what today brings, but I really think that the game is over for the financial markets. Listen for this phrase: mark to market. This is the big fear, and I think why the people running the financial markets keep bailing out (or taking over) these big institutions - because actually unwinding their positions on the open market will expose the real value of these financial instruments, and this will force everyone else to mark to market on their own similar assets. In other words, a lot of the supposed value in these complex financial instruments (like credit default swaps) is overstated by their holders and even though everyone sort of knew this all along no one has wanted to admit it since everyone was making so much money. But we might be at the end in a rather cataclysmic sense. Sure, the fed can just print as much money as they need to keep propping it up, but that gets us hyperinflation which will just be the end from a different direction.
My grand economic plan of having no money is really starting to look good!
