oh great woman, hear my prayer, how about a bit of nookie tonight?

After over a hundred years of “women’s rights” we are reaching the inevitable endgame of presupposing that one sex has been downtrodden and mistreated by the evil “other” for all time. You may immediately assume that I am referring to radical feminism, and while those harpies sure are loopy, they are the fringe dwellers that exist on the outer reaches screeching their hatreds in a mostly ineffective manner. Oh sure, every once in a while over human history the extremists get their hands on the power, but it’s not as if one of their lesbian ilk is running for high office or something.

Your bill, sir, is three times your weekly salary.

Time for a personal finance post as it’s been a while between drinks. Today I’m going to look at the art of spending money. It might surprise you that spending money is in fact an art, but if motorcycle maintenance is an art then spending the cash that purchased it most certainly is as well. You can either spend money well or spend money badly. Let’s have a look at how this all works.

I haven’t done a links of the week for a while due to my daily posting schedule. But then I came up with the brilliant idea to include it with my weekly podcast.

Break these rules at your considerable peril. You have been warned.

Gene Wilder died today. He was part of the great cohort of comedians in the 1970s that included Lenny Bruce, Don Rickles, and Richard Pryor. You can jump on youtube and look at just about any skit from these guys from the 60s and 70s and know in your heart of hearts that it couldn’t be performed today. Apparently that’s called progress. When they’re screaming one particular word at the top of their lungs it’s a pretty good bet that the reality is the opposite of the word that you’re hearing. Which sounds a lot like regression to me.

I have never received welfare as an adult. When I was at school a very long time ago, I got a study allowance that was $50 a week for a year or so. But once I left school I refused to countenance the idea. From 18 to 21 my life was characterized by a succession of mundane casual jobs as I struggled to find my way in adult life. Cleaner, bartender, laborer, waiter, musician, actor, sales assistant, there may be others but I can’t remember them. I only ever made enough to just get by, but I got by. At the time I viewed myself as a failure. Now I look back and I can raise a glass to that clueless young me. Because I never sold out.
