I am a believer in capitalism. I believe that the strong, smart, and innovative survive and I believe that people should be rewarded for risks and performance.
It is for that reason that I find the behavior of AIG executives to be absolutely fucking disgusting. It’s not enough that these losers ran a company in the ground that will costs tax-payers billions. It’s not insulting enough that they needed a second bail-out only months later. and have driven the stock down 95% in one year.
These non-performing no talent ass clowns were busy taking a trip to England to go bird hunting at the cost of 10K per person just days after emergency loans by the government. While their investors sit with stock that is as close to worthless as it gets, they are busy hunting in a style reserved for royalty one hundred years ago.
I wish the populace were the same as they were 100 years ago. If the stock holders a century ago knew what was happening, they’d have them drawn and quartered.
People want transparency in the markets, they want to reward great CEO’s. Steve Jobs is dying of cancer and he’s performed miracles at Apple Computer. No one on the planet cares how much they pay him. He has performed. But these packages for failing CEO’s are enough to make even the staunchest free market fan like myself sick.
If you believe in the capital markets like I do, a cock-punch to one of these douche-bags isn’t out of the question. Lehman’s CEO got knocked the fuck out in his own gym. Kudos to the man who did it. I don’t condone violence, but it’s likely the only consequences he’s had for shitting his company down the drain.
Fuck you Sebestain Preil. Fuck you Alvaro Mengotti. Fuck you for having no shame. Fuck you for performing at a level slightly below retarded and slightly above dead. I hope every day you walk into your office ready to piss yourself out of fear that someone who just lost all they put into your company breaks your fucking face. That would be far more fair than what you deserve.
Michelle Caruso-Cabrere is definitely hot. There is no question. Check out the photos, and it’s definite proof. But out in the blogosphere, there is some talk that she might eclipse CNBC hottie Erin Burnett. Talk like that is pure bullshit. There is always that guy who has to play contrarion. They have to root for the underdog or like that shitty indie band that they declare is better than the Beatles. This that instance. Erin is still the Hawt on Wall Street, and I’ll prove it.
When you see Michelle, if asked a pointed question about sleeping with her, you’d definitely say you’d nail her. She’s sexy. But unless someone asked you specifically, it wouldn’t really enter your mind. Let’s compre that to Erin Burnett. Guys walking by the television with absolutely no prompting at all and not knowledge of financial marekts will say “man…I’d fuck what Wall Street chick…
That my friends is the difference. Yeah, you’d take Michelle home from the bar, but Erin’s the girl you’d be thinking about later.
No one should be surprised. Kimbo’s entire legacy came from whipping up on wanna-be badasses that were taped and put on the internet. Legions of internet tough guys got duped into believing that Kimbo was some sort of huge beast-badass of a man because he could whip up on a couple of untrained big men with equal delusions of how badass they are.
Well, Kimbo stood in the ring with someone who actually knew what they were doing, not some scrub whose fight accomplishments are stomping someone’s ass outside a bar with 15 of their friends playing backup. So Kimbo’s shit got rocked by what is considered a marginal MMA fighter.
Put Kimbo right next to “Star Wars Kid” and “Chocolate Rain” as an internet phenom whose 15 minutes are up.
It wasn’t enough for Sarah Silverman, Tobey Maguire, and the rest of the smug set, the Hollywood Hotties have to get in the game as well. This time it’s Hayden Panettiere and Jessica Alba with a clever insulting commercial encouraging you to vote.
What’s insulting is the belief that this would actually motivate someone to vote. What the fuck do these “actresses” know about politics? I’ve seen them both act. They’re fucking terrible. If they didn’t have perky tits and cute asses, they couldn’t land a part at your local community theater. If they suck ass at their chosen profession, why do they think they are smart enough to inject themselves in the political process as saviors of the public?
You go back to making shitty movies and television where you pretend you have talent and we’ll watch them and pretend we’re watching because you have talent. That’s the agreement. You know fuck squat about politics. If you care, show up and vote yourself instead of insulting the public. Anyone who is actually persuaded to vote from watching this video is too fucking stupid to understand any of the issues and we don’t want them voting anyway.
This is what they are good at and what they should stick to. Long music interludes where they show off their assets with no dialogue.
Note: In the interest of disclosure, I have jerked off to "Into the Blue",
but not "Heroes", that shit is for nerds.
In June, I blasted Yahoo!’s Jerry Yang and the rest of the losers running the show. At that time Yahoo was offered first an offer of $33 a share, and then a offer of $35 a share. They decided to spit in the face of Microsoft. At that time I said that Yahoo would NEVER hit $33 a share on their own.
Well, it’s time to take a look back. On the day of that post Yahoo was trading at $26 and change. At no point did it ever trade higher. Currently they are trading at $18 per share. Anyone who held absolutely lost their shirts. Good job Yahoo!
Thanks. That’s really inspiring. I was completely fooled by that video. Here I thought you didn’t care about voting by making all these statements about why voting is bullshit. And I was all mad and then you completely turned it around like an M. Night Shyamalan movie and completely blew my mind. The best part was when you had to tell me I had to register to vote because I’m to fucking stupid to figure that out on my own. That was complete brilliance!
Where were all these geniuses when California decided to vote itself in the sewer? Horrible schools, terrible pollution, no plan on immigration, and the second highest foreclosure rate in the country. Oh yeah. They’re off flying their private jets that pollute more in one trip than you do in a lifetime. They live in gated communities and send their kids to private schools and without illegal aliens they pay low wages to, they wouldn’t have gardeners.
Fuck you Hollywood. You know who gets people to vote? Old ladies that are retired who go door to door in every town and volunteer to work the polls. Democrats and Republicans retirees who volunteer day after day to work in schools and library’s to help register and count votes and certify elections. That’s what makes this political process go. You should be kissing their asses for doing all the work you late arrival attention whoring credit stealing bastards.
Yes I know it is an early call, but I feel confident that Obama will make the most logical choice. Obama’s biggest weakness is Biden’s biggest strength. Obama has made some critical errors when he has spoken about foreign policy, and Biden has been the one to counsel him on why his mistakes looked amateurish. (Iran)
Edwards decided to shit the bed and remove himself as the most obvious choice by banging a woman while his wife had cancer. Classy. But this isn’t about Edwards.
Biden has already run for President and been on the national stage. That is experience that cannot be ignored. My subsequent guess is that after he announces Biden, he’ll regain that five point drop he slowly lost to McCain. The ads are effective, and Obama’s only response has been about the spirit of the ads. Wake up Obama. This is the big leagues, and you only get so much mileage with that line and it really only works on someone like Hillary.
If I am wrong, his other choices are a major strategy failing and you’ll see him continue to slide in the polls.
In only a couple months, Yahoo managed to not only lose a huge premium on the buyout of the stock, they also inked a deal with Google which will not only NOT help Yahoo! but hasten their death.
The whole Yahoo Board of Directors along with Jerry Yang should be thrown out of their office and bitch-slapped. Before Microsofts offer, YHOO was trading at the 20 level. Microsoft put in a bid of $35. A very healthy premium in a market getting crushed. Not only did Yahoo! not jump at the chance to close the deal, but Jerry Yang had nothing but contempt for the offer. He must have been channeling that girl in his high school that was too hot to notice him.
Mark my worlds. Yahoo will never hit $33.
Why? Because Yahoo! inked a deal with Google that makes Yahoo! entirely dependent on Google ads. It won’t take long for Yahoo users to skip right on past Yahoo and go straight to Google. After the conclusion of this deal, Google will have left Yahoo! entirely dependent on Google. At that point, Yahoo will be so weakened that they will either whither away and die, or get picked up at a fraction of todays price.
If I were a Yahoo shareholder (I am not) I’d ditch the shares as soon as possible and watch the carnage.
MTV has continued their proud slide into the abyss. MTV has long bragged theirs is the only movie awards show for the young audience. Well, if that young audience is functionally brain dead or in a coma, that might be true.
The reason MTV got into the movie awards business was to give categories and awards that the average movie goer could identify with.
Now there are only 9 awards, and all of them are popularity contests. You know who wins before they even announce it. The rest is bullshit filler done with all the talent you’d expect from skits that have less humor and originality than your shitty high school homecoming sketches.
If that weren’t enough, they drag out their sad MTV made “celebrities.” People whose only talent is fucking up basic job duties and getting fucked by homeless band members with rich parents. They are held up as Hollywood Stars when they aren’t qualified to work in the craft services department.
You might be feel the pain every time you fill up, but the most pain you feel is that trip that most of us have to take 2-3 times per year. That 5+ hour drive that didn’t make a dent in our pocketbooks is not a significant expense.
You may think that flying is out of the question since airlines are adding fuel taxes and increasing the prices of tickets. You’ve also likely heard the term “staycation” several times now.
Before you pack up the car for a trip, don’t miss out on one of the cheapest ways to travel. Flight,
Even as airlines increase the price of tickets, they want to fill as many seats as possible. Your willingless to drive can mean huge savings.
The simple google query “last minute flights” can yield huge savings. Just last week, I looked at a 12 hour drive. This trip is would cost $150 each way just in fuel costs. That is a $300 round trip.
As I packed up the night before, I hopped on and checked for last minute flights. I found one that was round-trip with all taxes and fees included for $202 dollars.
I was able to save nearly $100 dollars and several hours of travel. The flight times aren’t always the best and you are at the mercy of the airlines, but a little flexibility can save you hundreds.
