““So yet another study came out today citing the health benefits of red wine. And you know what? Didn’t care the first time you told us it was good for our hearts, don’t care now. […] We don’t consume wine because it’s good for us. Those one, two, five glasses of Pinot we throw back are for our own sanity, for a good buzz. […] Wine just needs to be drank and enjoyed. Period””

“The only thing I want to concentrate on when reading a book are the words on the page or, in this case, on the screen. I don’t want to know that I have a new email waiting, I don’t need a popup to tell me that my newsreader has been updated… I just want to READ.”

- In Praise of the Unitasker — I wholeheartedly agree with this. I’ll probably end up buying one, just because it would be nice around the house (and just leave the laptop at the office). But when I want to read, I just want to read.

Bank Fee Has Merits but Lacks Financial Clout

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:38:04 -0800

“The Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee is understandable and defensible. It will continue to attract lots of attention and heated debate. Yet, in itself, it will not be a major determinant of the longer-term outlook for the advanced economies. In fact, it does little to address the real issues. The advanced economies must urgently shift from a largely cyclical post-crisis response to more holistic structural measures. The longer this shift is delayed, the greater the pressure for ad hoc measures that generate lots of headlines but are ineffective in restoring robust medium-term growth and dynamic job creation.”
