The Week in Review: Money Issues #15

“The Week in Review: Money Issues” is my weekly blog research on financial topics that define us as Americans, and shape the way we should do business.

You guys doing any Christmas shopping yet?

Yea, I know it’s not even Thanksgiving, but I also know that I don’t like long and crowded lines. Or that last minute hustle for the new (fill in the blank) that all the kids are begging for this year (including my nieces and nephews)! Truth is: It’s all propaganda sent out by the marketing and advertising firms. Do what you want, but I’m going to get mine done way early this year before these evil bastards have a chance to get their meat hooks into me and my wallet!

Well, I’m heading out for the weekend, so here goes the best of the best that I could find while blog searching. Enjoy (then go out holiday shopping. Trust me on this one [bad economy = full force ad campaigning]):

Scrappleface: Bush Offers Compassionate Version of Auto Bailout Bill. Honestly Bush, haven’t you done enough? Why not take a long trip to Camp David until January 20th? American have watched our economy slowly take a nose dive for the past eight years (due to your “help”) so I don’t think a couple extra months are going to kill us!

iStockAnalyst: Bailout Execs Get Bonus Billions. Do me a solid (read: favor), reader: if you live anywhere near these a-holes, can you give them a sucker punch to the stomach for me? Or a roundhouse to the chin? This is just downright greed in my humble opinion (let’s fix this problem, America)!

Buelahman’s Redstate Revolt: WTF Thursday: Diamonds From Tequila. WTF is right: they could have gotten this to me sooner, before I had to blow a huge chunk of change on my fiancée’s engagement ring. Written by a self-proclaimed redneck who learned that FOX News is full of crap 99.99%, or more, of the time (good for him)!

TIMES OF THE INTERNET: Oil prices steady after fall to near $50. Wow, what a difference some good news makes! First we learn that we’re getting a new president who’s not in bed with the oil companies, and then the crude market falls like a rock! Woo Hoo! $147 a barrel to this — unbelievable!

Nashville Gab: And it’s the CMAs … Ok, they forgot to give out the “hottest looking” award on Wednesday, so I’ll help them out: Shania Twain was smoking (she always was and is) as was Faith Hill (that’s a given). Carrie Underwood = Gorgeous. Taylor Swift (jailbait [didn’t look at her that way] BTW: she’s originally from my home town). Reese Witherspoon is like the girl-next-door type (Ok, she’s good looking too). That’s my stories and I’m sticking to them!

Were you amused (or even pissed) by any of my weird ramblings? Then why not join your fellow Remixers and hit me up with a little feedback (this way, I’ll know what you’re thinking, and try to entertain you even further [or less, if you’re mad at me]). Geoff and I will always try and give you want you want, so let us know so we can do our jobs (LOL)!

And if you haven’t done so yet (and who hasn’t) why not also subscribe to our feed or email? With this information, we can send you instant notifications of our latest posts which we work on daily (but not on the weekends. I’m out fishing or something during this time).

Ok pal, see you on Monday … I’m going to do what I do on the weekend (Relax. Watch sports. Hang out with friends. Drink.). Anyway, enough of my silliness — have a great weekend! I really mean it! Really!
