Stanley Fischer Speaks With Reporters At Bloomberg

I am a huge fan of Stanley Fischer's, he is a Central Banker and currently heads Israel's central bank.  For a short while he was rumored to be a candidate for the Head of IMF (International Monetary Fund), but that was killed because he wasn't going to kiss corrupt French bankers' ass like Lagard was only too happy to do.  Meryam Nemazee makes nice eye candy also, although I get the distinct impression she is a very "high maintenance" type chick.

Martin Luther Ling Day

I hope everyone had time to reflect, and consider those who sometimes risked their physical safety (and sometimes lives) to improve their standard of education, general respect, and "lot in life".  Here are some great photos of Martin Luther King from the LATimes:

What Is Vulgarity And When EXACTLY Is It 'Appropriate'???

I have a liberal policy on vulgarity and a conservative view on vulgarity.  It depends on place and topic.  Sometime "Goshdarn" just doesn't do it. The great Lenny Bruce (decades ahead of his time, viewing time in a very American context):

Female Vision of the Day (Jan. 7 2012)

Haven't done this little blog gimmick in awhile (mostly for myself anyway I'm sure). I always figured Angelica Huston must have been quite the bird in her youth if Jack Nicholson chose her as a sexual mate.  And she's not too bad as an older woman really.  But I found this link in a Tweet when wandering around old John Huston stuff (who, although I don't know much about his personal life, I have always admired for his extreme intelligence and high literacy).  Anyways.... the point I am leading to here is that Angelica Houston was a very very attractive woman in her youth. One of those women that wouldn't win a beauty pageant, but has some characteristic which seems to draw you to her.  This pic in the link shows it well. What is it that is so appealing here?? The downcast eyes??? The flowing dress??? The hell if I know, but it works.

Artist Shelby Lynne: Your Lies

This is Shelby Lynne, she isn't any "unknown" artist.  I found her watching Letterman this December (2011) and I just thought she was absolutely incredible.  Not many performers or entertainers can sing at this incredibly high level without a back-up band.  Some artists just strike you right at your heart, like the first time you hear Led Zeppelin or some people talk about the first time they heard Elvis.  Her voice just sears right through you.  I really cannot believe I didn't know about her the last 12 years.  She has one of the top 10 female voices I have heard in my life, honestly.
