Nobel Gets Real

Whatever you think of Paul Krugman and his positions, anything that makes Americans pay more attention to the real world intersection of their lives and economics -- like giving Krugman the Nobel Prize in Economics -- is only a good thing.

And, no, it's not because Mr. Nobel's dynamite just blew up the global economy.

"It's not a memo, it's a Mission Statement."

Welcome to my somewhat cranky, yet gregarious and optimistic, 60 Second Blog, featuring unique takes on anything and everything that I care about, which can be a lot. So, look for posts on Birmingham, Detroit, Michigan, the Great Lakes and beyond, politics, pop culture, music, sports, business and The Internets, and connecting the dots between them. Not just opinions, though, but the occasional modest proposal on how things could be better here, there and everywhere. The title? Well, the conceit is that each post will take less than 60 seconds of your precious time to read. I will occasionally go over that limit, so I will mark it as an "OT" post in the headline. For a bit more background on me, please check out a profile posted here. Thanks for visiting, and remember: when you kill time, you murder success. As always, cheers from The D.
