About Me

Should be retired but not and that's probably a good thing.........too distracted by politics to enjoy the finer things in life.Had a terrible drinking problem in my youth but have now been clean and sober over 25 years.Have a hard time constructing a sentence with a subject and, occasionally, a verb.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Eric Clapton (to talk sobriety as much as music), Carlos Santana, Marcus Miller, Lewis Black, Chris Rock, Tal Wilkenfeld, Demetri Martin, Chuck Berry, TLB, TLS, and Luan Parle.............Slide Show above created by Art, known as Arthur, Arty or Art & Scooter by some myspace users and Thor85 by YouTube users

Is this the week the global markets crash and burn?

I was set to watch a special on Dubai on CNBC last night but it was preempted by reports on the Asian markets. Seems Bear Stearns had a fire sale which is affecting the global economy and the Fed...

The Election of 2008
