Lack of updates

Sorry about that. Been busy with work/life that I haven't had the energy. 

So a quick check: Are we socialists yet? $700b says we're on our way. My father (65-year-old) made the comment "you're young, you can see this through the end and you'll be fine. Don't worry."

My response? "Fine I'll see the end of it. But I still worry as to exactly what will be there when it's all said and done."

And FWIW: I will be watching the debates again. Last one was political positioning for the most part. 

Dow Jones Industrial Deathwatch

This is just the past 10 days. *headdesk*

We can has recession now?

Are we finally able to admit it now? And by we, I mean economists, since I'm pretty fucking sure most of America nay the world has realized this for the past 3 months now. BOHICA, as the saying goes, because its going to get worse before we recover. Dow Jones under 9k (~20% drop this week) and now a global effort to keep credit out there for companies to use.

Folks, I've tried keeping my head up about all of this but the only way I can see anyone keeping money in the current economical state is buying stock in KY and barbed dildo manufacturers.

Fox 1, SUV 0

I have a soft spot for foxes. They really are beautiful creatures. Especially Red and Arctic ones (but mostly the reds). Call them my Totems in a pagan sense.

So anyways, I'm reading through my RSS feeds and I land on this article about a 'dead' fox causing an SUV wreck. It took me a couple of reads to really make my mind up on this article, emotions and all.

SUV hits fox and stops. -1 for SUV, but at least he stopped. Driver (named Fox, coincidentally) takes fox thinking it dead, +1 for SUV. Fox isn't dead +1 fox. And causes driver to crash. - 1 fox. So at this point I'm thinking dead even, karmic balance at work.

Then I reread the article. The guy wanted the tail? WTF? He doesn't deserve it! So -1 SUV, and since there can be no negative score at the end, fox is instead awarded 1 point. It did die in the end, maybe from crash maybe from being hit. But that bastard did not deserve the tail. Or any tail as far as I'm concerned ~_^

Why am I finding this cute... why???

Craigslist used for decoy in robbery

This HAS to be the most amazing usage of Craigslist I have ever heard of. 

So a robber sent a job opening request for a roadside work project in Monroe, WA for $28.50/hr (hell I would have taken something like this up for that kind of money). Those that inquired were asked to show up at a Band of America, wearing "yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask… and, if possible, a blue shirt." He manages to get 12 or so to sign up for this.

Robber shows up in same attire, pepper-sprays the armored car driver, and nabs a sack of cash. As if that wasn't enough hilarity, the man has escaped... by riding down a nearby creak in a fucking inner tube that had been placed at the ready.

I know I shouldn't condone robbery but... bravo motherfucker, bravo. Can I have some of whatever you smoked when you came up with this? Thanks ^_^

Veep Debates: Another tie but in a good way

Sorry for the lack of updates this week: Mild illness + work stress can really kill your off time.

So anyways I did sit down and watch the debates yesterday. And, I'm calling this one a tie as well (despite some CNN survey I can't even find). But this time, it was a good tie.

Both Palin and Biden did a fair amount of work prior to the debate and it shows:

• The normally long-winded answers Biden gives were cut to short, to the point replies. He also kept his focus.
  
• Pailin was less a punching bag than I had expected her to be. She had quick retorts, threw barbs... really wasn't expecting half her answers.
  

However, they still had thier downfalls:

• Biden attacked McCain very well, but left himself open to Palin. All offense, no defence. The cliche of "good offence" would apply if this offence was good enough to keep Pailin, it wasn't because...
• Palin kept switching the fucking subject every question to either energy, Alaska, Biden's previous record, or some combo of the three. This really started getting annoying half way through or so as I was tired of having to switch my mind over to 'ignore' when she mentioned these things.

So, all in all a good fight. Good fight + tie == good thing. Wimpy fight + tie == I better not have paid to see this drek.
