I Prefer Over Easy Myself, You?



Emilie found these (6) eggs out back the other day. I can't tell if they hatched or if they were eaten by something. Anyway, we laid them in the garden, so that the ants would come along and clean out the insides. If you look close enough they've arrived and doing exactly what I wanted them to do. My mom used to use this method when she needed to have the seashells she collected cleaned. Works pretty good too.

Anyway, I'm not certain but believe these are
cowbird eggs.

Anyone care to weigh in?! Anyone? Anyone?


As the Economics Teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off said during one of his classes, "In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone?... the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics".
