To be or not to be, that is not the question. The question is &quot;How optimistic are thee?&quot;. Or in other words, &quot;Do you live life thinking the glass is half empty or half full?

Tycho:  It is often the case that we are jumped by four or five horde ten levels higher than us.  This is often because we've jumped a friend of theirs, ten levels lower than us, as retribution for some earlier act of aggression, in slavish iteration of a behavior that has - as its culmination - the end of all life, everywhere.  Kara marveled that Gabriel and I were able to escape these confrontations with such regularity.  What was our secret?  "Fear," I said, bending the microphone closer.  "Fear, and selfishness."

Amazing, but even in this time of goodwill and cheer, some folks are always looking for a fight. A recent exchange with a regular reader got me thinking how divisive things can get.

QUESTION: Good morning. Sir, does it bother you that there's a perception out there that your administration has been one that favors big business and wealthy individuals? And what can you do to overcome that, sir?

Blog: What can I say?  Even the most opinionated among us are sometimes wrong.  I just happen to be wrong more than most.  :-)

I'm unsure what good will come out of this whole incident. The problem is that when emotions run high, as they did here, people tend to spend more time fortifying their own positions rather than exploring new ones.

My friend Steve called me in a panic. Seems he and his girlfriend are divided over one important issue. He (a chef) always selects fresh produce for his cooking. She says frozen is better. "Can you help us?" he asks.  Yes ... no ... maybe.

As you read this, Iâll be winging my way to Prague, where Iâm helping facilitate a two-day CIO round table on IT in emerging markets. Donât worry â itâs not a boondoggle. Just an out-and-back trip (flying coach) â and Iâll probably be too jet-lagged to enjoy the beer.

It seems even a crusty old newshound like me can get burned. My item last week about a couple naming their baby âYahooâ turns out to be a hoax cooked up by a (now-unemployed) Romanian tabloid reporter. Reporters making things up just for a laugh? I am shocked, simply shocked.Â

Whenever my editor approaches me, I quickly size up his body language before he has said a word. If he looks genial and relaxed, he probably liked my story. If his face looks set and determined, I know a wrangle over copy is probably ahead.

Tycho:  I'm super depressed.  I thought I had invented a new word - mirthquake - and then I was going to say that you should prepare yourselves for the aforementioned, as today's comic strip was rated this or that number on the rictus scale.  I mean seriously, I've been excited all weekend.  A simple Google search put me in my place - the word is practically ubiquitous.  Expect it soon on Urban Dictionary, that mausoleum of once vibrant language.
