I just heard a Russian billionaire say he paid $200,000 to go to the Davos conference. Amazing.
Illinois governor impeached.
Bears attacked in force yesterday.
Obama attacks Wall Street bonuses.
Most of House "stimulus" bill is crap - aid to states to "replace" their spending is NOT stimulus.
I hope Senate fixes it. Pelosi is soooo bad - a partisan hack. Obama needs to show some leadership on it. he's only got one chance, or it becomes his mess (politically).
It's raining layoffs.
I started working on my French vocabulary at 4AM this morning and learned some "interesting" French terms. They have a very colorful language. I found them by looking up the term for "bolt" and following the chain of connected words. Hehe.
Word of the Day
"Diglot" - adjective & noun [$100]
Diglot means (adjective) bilingual; (noun) a bilingual book or edition. I suppose a bilingual person could be a "diglot", too.
Sentence: Will Bunkerman successfully become a diglot by learning French, or will he fail ? Time will tell. Perhaps if this blog became a diglot blog, it would help him. Thinking ... Maybe I'll try one sentence a day for awhile as a motivational force for learning.
About Me
- Bunkerman
- I have a pioneer mentality. My wife & I live in the woods - neighbors aren't visible except slightly in winter. Our "bunker" - hehe, really a fine home & barn - has plenty of security. We have four dogs: Krypto (age 9, Kelpie), Ava (age 13, Rat Terrier), Sky (Kelpie, age 5) and Lucky Star (age 1, kelpie). I don't take crap from anyone anymore, having enough resources & gear stocked up to survive in any circumstance. I have three degrees from Harvard including a Ph. D. in a physical science, and an MS in Management from MIT. I worked as an investment banker for about 25 years, mainly in secured finance, at three major Wall Street firms and for the last 17 years with my partners at our own firm. I'm semi-retired now, managing some private corporations and business interests and doing my own trading & investing. This is not to boast, but to give you an idea I know a little about some subjects from experience. The photo is my 1943 M16 half-track which I am restoring. These armored vehicles were ubiquitous in the US Army in World War II and Korea. It's driveable.

learning French at 4am ....nothing but admiration Bman...well done sir
Thanks. It's a good, useful language - I wish I have learned it years ago instead of wasting time on Latin & Russian.
Bman now that you realize this bill ain't stimulus...........it's just 8 years of pent-up liberal pork spending
time to hit the sell button on the Obama fund ??
i doubt that 200k the ruskie spent to go to Davos was out of his pocket...........either charged to the company i.e. shareholder's wallets or chareged to the government - means russian citizens paid for his 7500 a night suite
he didn't become a billionaire spending 200k for a long weekend
I assume, as a French sympathizer, you are pulling for Georges St Pierre over BJ Penn tomorrow night?

I'm worrying about that, Bud. I'll wait until the Senate starts making changes.

BJ Penn sounds like a hooker's penname.

I'm worrying about the Pelosi Plan - we'll see if Obama is man enough tostand up to her.

fine ya pack of azzheads
who's playing ?
;)
I pick the Steelers will win by two touchdowns or more.
Steel City rules !
Well, as long as the Browns suck.
is azzhead different than asshead?
I don't recall Johnson using the former...
I think Spin was using an archaic spelling
;)
Or perhaps a regional dialect.
i'll have the pom-poms out for the cardinals............i'm a kurt warner fan........great story
but i think the steelers romp
PS......plus i hate the mooly-in-yans on the steelers ........they are all field.......at least the spooks on the cardinals are house
Here are a couple synonyms from Johnson:
Clodpate - a stupid fellow, a dolt, a thickskull.
clotpoll - thickskull; blockhead.
In the spirit of a digot blog, French for blockhead, and hence asshead, is 'un imbécile' or 'le crétin' for a male, or 'la crétine' for a female.
yikes!!!
hmmm French for "bunker" in the militray usage is just "bunker"
So I guess "bunkerman" is "le homme de bunker" or something like that.
oops, that would be "l'homme de bunker"
I'm still missing those automatic contractions.
Hey you fellas enjoy your weekends....feel better Spike,,,
