Testing Your G-IQ and Your HPI

October 21, 2009March 16, 2017

THE $30,000 LAMB CHOPS

There was nearly balloon-boy-level coverage of a $30,400-a-couple DNC fundraiser that was to be held in New York last night headlined by the President (followed by a much larger, less reported-on $100-and-up fundraiser / health-reform rally). Both went off beautifully, with thousands in attendance overall, and I can’t wait for the transcript of the President’s remarks to be released – and I hope the video – so I can post them here (probably tomorrow) for you to make your own judgment. Boy, are we ever fortunate to have this guy. I know we’re out of practice, but it’s really okay not to be cynical.

HOW HAPPY ARE YOU?

Behold the Happy Planet Index. No need to identify yourself as you answer the questions. I’m happier than average, it says. But how can I not be? I have you!

ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE

At $12,000, you may want to wait until Best Buy begins discounting the Enertia. But you can watch a coupla dudes driving these silent hogs* from Detroit to the White House and follow their progress here.

*Do I sound convincing as a biker?
