  • McCain/Palin: the cold hard actuary truth

    The arguments attempting to suggest counterbalance of the team of McCain/Palin against Obama/Biden do not account for the greater chance that McCain will die in office. According to statistics on such things, the chance that someone who is in their seventies will die by any cause in a given year is very high, and in McCain's case would be as high ...

  • Procrastination and Risk Aversion

    As an intercultural consultant, I am surprised that none of the studies that were mentioned looked at the connection between procrastination and risk aversion or uncertainty avoidance. It seems to me that in cultures with higher risk aversion and uncertainty avoidance as values, they would not perceive procrastination as procrastination, but ...

So...now we are giving Fannie and ...

  • Risks and Writing

    I have to disagree with Mr. Lewis about writers and risk-taking these days. He of all people should know that writers do, in fact, take risks, but publishers and agents are far less willing to do so.

  • Do you mean Libyarated, mon?

    Very funny, I loved it. Reminds me of a paper I once wrote in a Lit. class that was done entirely in Creole dialect. Professor told me, ''You have taken some huge risks here, and you should get either an A plus for this work, or a failing grade... You're getting the A, because it worked.'' Similarly, you get the A plus, but oh baby, this WAS ...
