Must Read Financial Blogs
Everyday I read (skim) no less than 500 blog posts using my Google RSS reader. Some articles are on marketing, some are on business, others are on golf (although I think all the golf blogs basically repost whatever Geoffshackelford.com is writing on – Tiger Woods infidelity at this moment), and a large number of financial blogs from all over North America.

Commonalities of Galileo and Mortgages – An Exc...
Galileo Galilei
In 1632, astronomer Galileo Galilei was ordered to appear before the Holy Office in Rome to defend his work, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. His work compared the Copernican system, which theorized that the Earth circled the Sun, with the Ptolemaic system, the mainstream belief that the Earth was the center of the Universe. In 1633, Galileo stood trial for his dissenting beliefs and advocacy of Copernicanism.

He used this scientific observation to argue in favor of Nicholas Copernicus’s theory that the Earth circled the Sun, a theory which had been dismissed six decades earlier.
