A "No **** Sherlock!" moment: Study: Many People Not Prepared to Retire
When I can't go to a fast food place or any number of other low skill employers without seeing seniors working there. When in all my time as a financial planner, I was the only person on course for a real retirement I encountered? Most people aren't willing to give up spending every penny now. Somehow they just never get the idea that all the warnings out there about not saving enough for retirement applies to them.
I am not there yet, but I intend to be prepared to retire even though I have no intention of actually retiring. I'll probably slow down at some point and I may even change careers again. But actually retire? Only if my health deteriorates so much that I can't work. Work isn't just a paycheck to me, and if it is to you, it's time to do something about it. Right Now.
Japan insists on quick N. Korea resolution Smart of them. If history is any guide, we're about to see a major expansion of the War on Terror.
Via Argghhh!,
A World Without America?
Victor Davis Hanson pulls no punches on the facts of the War on Terror.
Just when you thought the New York Times had taken every punch that was coming, along comes Lileks Screed with a haymaker that hits like a runaway train.
I don't often say or link to things with this verbiage, but Captain's Quarters has Saddam Hussien's shopping list. Of supplies to create WMDs.
Via Instapundit, a person who understands what is at stake: Thank you for delaying my flight

Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.

- Day by Day It is site policy to list the main page of every site I reference. Sometimes the real world intervenes and I haven't gotten to it yet, or one falls through the cracks on a long post with multiple references. It is also site policy to list the main page of every site that lists this one on their equivalent roll, as well as the main page of all sites that are members of any of the same groups this site is a member of. Please send me an email with a link to the main page of your site if I've overlooked you (dm at the domain name). For the clue-challenged, note that it is a requirement for your link to appear on every page of your site, just like mine does, and I will not link to spam sites.
I went to the Carnival of Real Estate once. I rode the mortgage coaster.
