The Week in Review: Money Issues #22

“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.

Sorry folks, I got way too cocky last week …

I just knew that my Eagles were going to the Super Bowl so badly, that I forgot that we needed to win this last game to get there. Man, being beaten by a team like that kills me … I mean the last time we matched up on Thanksgiving we spanked them, and now this (what happened McNabb? Why’d you choke?). Well, I still have my Flyers and Sixers to help me get through these trying times. Oh, and I never have to look at Bush’s lying face ever again (I won’t read his memoirs [they would probably be written on toilet paper anyway] and I sure as hell won’t be seeing him on Fox News anytime soon [I hate … er, dislike that channel! No, hate is a better word]). Well, enough of my sadness … let me get back to helping you save some money.

Here goes the best of what I dug up while blog-surfing this week:

The Huffington Post: Bush’s Depressing Goodbye Party: One Staffer Gets Job At Abercrombie. This is a hilarious article about an ex-president who will soon be forgotten! Oh, this just in: The Abercrombie store just fired this guy seconds after the bare-chested senior managers got around to looking at his resume! They then pointed to the Gap … and the old staffer headed in that direction (important note: the Gap will hire anyone [hear that criminals?]).

Skepticblog: THE US AIRWAYS HUDSON RIVER CONSPIRACY. Chalk one up for the sane people out there! This just goes to show you that some people sit around in their parent’s dark, wet basements all day and conjure up some crazy crap. To these skipping-out-on-the-real-world freaks I now say: Welcome to Serioustown … and oh yea, that plane did actually crash! Show me differently, weirdo!

FIRSTSHOWING.NET: Warner Brothers Bringing Tom and Jerry Back From The Dead. NNNNNNOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Don’t do it. Don’t mess up another classic (you’re on a roll with that whole failure thing)! What’s next: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Movie (Will Smith can’t afford another dud right now)?

Hanlon’s Razor: Limbaugh: I hope Obama fails”. What else would you expect to come out of the mouth of this (fill in this space with a bunch of curse words that describe someone who only does stuff for attention, and then add words like pretentious, white trash, racist and Narcissistic Personality Disorder)? I totally agree with the author’s last paragraph!

DREWREPORTS: 50 GOES OFF AT THE PEOPLE WHO CAME TO DC FOR OBAMA!!! No 50, unlike you, I don’t think anyone was starving for too much attention! IMHO, you’re probably one of the worst artists [if you can call yourself that] out there when it comes to writing your own lyrics and performing! I actually think all those people were out there to see history in the making … not to see some sell-out, has-been poke fun at them with a thousand word vocabulary!

Amused in the least by any of this? Offended? Feel that I need some help? Angry? Happy? Then why not join the Remixers’ gang and tell us all about it (trust me, I will listen. I always do) through our feedback section! This way we’ll truly know what you want and need from us (who’s us, you ask? Well, we’re a website that actually listens to its customers). I truly love to know what my customers like to read, so that I can deliver it to them!

And if you haven’t yet, please subscribe to our feed or email! This way we can send you instant notifications of all our latest posts, which we work on daily throughout the work week (I don’t touch a computer over the weekend, which allows me to rest my eyes and fingers [I’d hate to get Carpal Tunnel, and Visine gets expensive after a while]).

Well, I’ll see you back here on Monday … have yourself a great weekend!
