A great video courtesy of Chris Matthews freaking out. What a point though. how many of these talking heads (on both sides) reference terms, events, etc that they actually have no clue about? (the background on this is bush, overseas, seemingly calling ... http://www.suryasays.com/2008/05/15/dude-stop-digging/ This is the donald at his finest. Seriously. You MUST watch it. Whether you agree or not, super-entertaining. And, on balance, I agree with my boy, Mr. Trump. Watch DT on CNBC. Agree: - Oil companies are just having a field day and making a freaking killing. There was a reason why we ... http://www.suryasays.com/2008/05/15/the-donald-gives-em-hell/ Good article on fortune.com by Adam Lashinsky on where Google goes from here. Definitely worth a read.

OR maybe I'm biased because his article overlaps massively with the book that I've feebly been attempting to write. The article is sensationally titled "The Post-American World", but the substance of the article is actually decidedly optimistic. I've ... http://www.suryasays.com/2008/05/05/zakaria-newsweek/ In Vegas staying at the Wynn. This trip prompted a couple of random thoughts: Flew Virgin America. It's actually a pretty great airline. Their employees are shockingly friendly. The flight attendants in addition to being friendly, have this really upbeat attitude. They sound excited to be flying on a VA plane, ... http://www.suryasays.com/2008/04/30/las-vegas/ I've been gone for a while. Life on the West Coast has been keeping me busy. Between work, the commute, trying to see friends, traveling, and of course, trying to make heads or tails of writing a book, this blog has been neglected massively. I'm opening the blog up to more ... http://www.suryasays.com/2008/04/29/regular/ random mix: from the left (and be taken w/grain of salt): "the myth of the surge" a good piece on the current (and future investment market)...mirrors a lot of my sentiments: "shape of the future" the new yorker on "the news business" some good ones! http://www.suryasays.com/2008/03/25/reading-links-325/ The most heartbreakingly-intelligent, real piece of television. ever.
