Have dirty laundry? Let the Super Bowl Green-wash it for you.

-

 Robert Kraft ran an ad suggesting that black people could help Jews fight back against anti-Semitism. It omitted the concept that Jews might support economic and human rights steps that would assist Blacks. Yeah, pretty easy to resent the Patriots ha ha. 


(There was also an NFL Super Bowl ad about potatoes, which I assume was a court requirement imposed on ConAgra due to monoculture damage litigation.)


Ha. I’m so glad to know, thanks to Kraft who surely understands a thing or two about human rights, that good black folks should be taking the punches for Jewish men…


I’m in awe of our country.  This is a country that can invade a neighboring sovereign nation and completely sell ourselves—hook line and sinker—that it’s their fault. (Venezuela, not Viet Nam or any of the others.)


Thank you, Bad Bunny for the improv theater piece, essentially saying “our tiny Puerto Rican colony is way more fun and infinitely more sexy than your kingdom—and you can’t understand our language so you’ll never get it.”


No green-washing during the half-time show. Grab your crotch if you can still locate it, middle America.

Meet my friend, the mediocre hedge fund manager

-
There is no such thing as smart money.   Yet, when was the last time you heard some one described as a "below-average hedge fund manager?" Probably never. Or a "mediocre physicist?" That's because these two professions seem mystical to people who don't stop to question that at least half of the hedge fund managers--and physicists-- graduated in the bottom 50% of their university peer group. Yet look at the HFRI Equity Hedge Index compared to investing in a no-fee indexed S&P fund since 1996--the last 20 years.   (Note:   you've been screwed in either case so don't hold your breath).  Yes, all those wicked smart hedge fund guys (remember their nice suits from back in the late 90's?) rocked along at 13% annual returns from '96 til early '00.   So did the S&P. Since then it's been a negative shithouse for the guys who get their drawn portraits published in the WSJ.   Between ''08 and '13 a dollar invested i...

Schedule crunch--and what it taught me

-
I woke up anxious and even a bit angry this morning…an old habit from the past that has diminished somewhat as I've recovered.   And then it hit me…I have a 7:30 meeting that I'm leading and I'm not ready.  I have an 8:45 Masters Ski group workout and if I'm not prompt the group takes off without me.  I have a critical board meeting at noon, and I haven't covered the materials.    And I have guests coming for a week on Sunday, so I'll partially lose control of my schedule.  That may be the worst.  My response was to schedule a group dinner during the week so I'd keep in touch with some of my new friends in town.  A bad pairing…NYC friends and mountain town friends. What do you cook???   Conclusion at the moment…5:33 AM:  I will be happiest for the next months living alone.  With no one in my space other than my two cats, who slept next to me in a joint cuddling ball all night.    I do not want to sha...
