Money is like a child…

From Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while watching Occupy Wall Street from a Discreet Distance:

3. Money is like a child—rarely unaccompanied. When it disappears, look to those who were supposed to be keeping an eye on it while you were at the grocery store. You might also look for someone who has a lot of extra children sitting around, with long, suspicious explanations for how they got there.

Why Steve Jobs Parks in the Handicapped Spot at Apple

From David Bunnell

Mike [Murray] told us some jealous people in the Apple II or Lisa divisions of the company were so pissed-off at Steve for the way he frequently belittled them they got their revenge by keying his car. Because the close-in parking spots were usually gone by the time Steve arrived in the morning, he simply parked in the handicapped zone. No one would dare key Steve’s car when it was right in front of the building.

Fiendishly Clever

From here:

“No one fears the government anymore.”

World Affairs has an interesting article by Gordon Chang about what may be the end of Chinese economic expansion and the the rule of the Communist Party. It’s very thorough and an interesting read.
