Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.
With the sole exception of Slope, all media is devoted to one and only one goal: talking up the stock market.

I didn’t grow up in a household with soft drinks, but in those instances during my childhood in which I needed to refer to one, I believe I used the actual name (like Mr. Pibb or Pepsi or what have you). This map suggests my Louisiana brethren simply say “Coke“, which seems a bit general, but even odder is the fact that a big chunk of the country still uses a term I never had heard in my life for it, which is “Pop“.
Is this 1940? Are we going to play jacks, swing by the soda shop, and then head over to an ether frolic? Gosh!
