While disappointed by President Obama's Special Olympics bowling crack last week, I look forward to watching him get his ass kicked in a match against Kolan McConuighey, and that will do more to remind people that people with physical or cognitive disabilities can be very gifted, too.

I'm actually bullish on the economy for the next few years. We're back to reality, that wealth that was made and lost was fake. We close on our house next week. Onward and forward. You won't be seeing me stockpiling the canned cream corn and freeze dried food in some fallout shelter. I've read Cormac McCarthy's The Road. It's fiction, people. Ain't gonna happen.
