Tom Wolfe has written a romp of an article following up on the “masters of the universe” he wrote about in Bonfire of the Vanities 25 years ago. He focuses his eye on hyper-aggressive, hyper-status conscious, hyper-hyper hedge fund managers and their sculpted “twinkie” wives. Here is the piece’s soul: [They are] the very embodiment…

It is easy to look back of 21 centuries of Christendom and figure its rise was inevitable. The fashionable arguments of suppressed gospels, altered Gospels, corruption, conspiracy, and the like are well known to most moderns. But what is easy to forget is that for the first few hundred years of Christendom being a Christian…

A new article on Yankees’ owner George Steinbrenner – the mythical “Boss” who has lorded over the team for 34 years – offers a sad snapshot into the aging man’s life. ive minutes later, a solitary figure emerges out of the shadows, limping toward us. It’s 2 in the afternoon, and George Steinbrenner is wearing…

Barry Bonds hit # 756 tonight in San Francisco. He is the home run king. But on this night where he is crowned, it is the man he passed who stands out. Hank Aaron was not at the ballpark and has said all along he didn’t want any part of seeing his record broken. But…

Steve Jobs couldn’t be much more loyal to the Democratic Party. A review of his giving finds more than $250,000 going to Democratic candidates. He did give $1,000 to a Republican once… in 1982. Karl Rove couldn’t be much more loyal to the Republicans Party. Duh. To show how little politics really matters just look…

More on “In God We Trust” on our currency. John E. points out: American presidents such as Theodore Roosevelt strongly disapproved of the idea of evoking God within the context of a “cheap” political motto. In a letter to William Boldly on November 11, 1907, President Roosevelt wrote: “My own feeling in the matter is…

Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were once the most collegial of colleagues today’s NYT reports. Now? They don’t talk save for trying to look friendly when the camera is trained on them. A big deal? Anything unusual? Of course not. Ironic though considering how much talk there has been about “faith pervading” this…

The scene: Sitting with my two oldest daughters (11 and 9) playing “Dogopoly” (think Monopoly for dogs where Boardwalk and Park Place are a St. Bernard and a Great Dane and where hotels are out but massive dog bones are in). The event: “Dad, I think there’s a bird in the house.” The reality: “Daaaaaddddd!!!!!…

Apple is holding an “event” today at 10am PST… a church service of sorts. It won’t be about iPods or iPhones – anything about them will come later this fall. This is about new iMacs. I’m probably Mac’d out – my powers of rationalization probably aren’t strong enough to justify a new iMac…though I am…

An email is making its way back around about the new dollar coins – not that anyone really knows we have the coins or cares that we do – omitting “In God We Trust” from them: Subject: DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE U.S. Government to Release New Dollar Coins You guessed…
