Xe, aka Blackwater

This should be the top story on the national news every night for a week. Why is this not a bigger story? Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Xe most definitely needs to be flushed down the toilet. Read the testimony of John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 [...]

Sarah Palin & The Media

After seeing William Shatner re-read parts of Sarah Palin’s farewell speech, I looked it up on YouTube.  I happened upon the Fox News analysis of her speech, with is shocking, appaling, and hilarious at the same time.  Check it out: WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!? He gives her speech an A-? What planet are these people on??? If that [...]

High Frequency Trading

If there’s one thing that definitely needs to be flushed down the toilet, it’s high frequency trading.  If you’ve got any money in stocks, you’re likely losing some due to companies like Goldman Sachs using your bailout money to artificially inflate the value of stocks by using super computers to make millisecond trades.  They’re watching [...]

R.I.P. Kwai Chang Caine

I was sad to hear that David Carradine, who played Kwai Chang Caine in the 70′s “Kung Fu” series (and also starred in both “Kill Bill” movies), died last Thursday.  Although I own all three seasons of “Kung Fu”, I’ve never met David Carradine, so my sadness quickly turned to a combination of curiosity and [...]
