The Week in Review: Money Issues #30

“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.

The EEEEENNNNNDDD of the week (Wooo Hoo)! It’s about time!

I swear, these last five days were dragging (I don’t think that slowing-down-on-coffee idea I told you about in my last review is really working for me — any legal suggestions [I’m not one of those guys. However, I might have to jump back on the sauce {read: coffee} if I can’t think of anything else. LOL]?) Well, regardless of this little speed bump, I got so much accomplished this week it’s not funny! On top of this, I, and the rest of the creative team, had to move all of our stuff over to a new, kick-ass, state-of-the-art building with a coffee maker in my office (why do they tempt me so? Why?) so I’m really, really ready for the weekend, of which I worked so hard to get to!

Well, here goes the good stuff (that’s what she said!):

OS News: Miller Cracks Safari Within Seconds, Wins PWN@OWN Contest. For all you nerds out there: this is one small step for geeks, and one giant leap towards breaking up a greedy monopoly (side note: my name is Pete … I’m 36, and I’m a PC)! For everyone else: these nerds are CCRAAZYYY (seriously … someone get them a Rubik’s Cube to play with, fast)!

Surf Talk: Medical marijuana dispensaries will no longer be prosecuted. For all you stoners out there: this is one small step for potheads, and one giant leap towards increased snack food sales at the convenient stores (side note: I’m pleading the fifth on this one dude! Chhhiilll out). For everyone else: what’s it feel like to obey the ridiculous rules put into place by the “man”?

COVER AWARDS: Shock! Katie Holmes Not Pregnant Reports E! Actually, I don’t give a rat’s a*^ about anything in this article (that TomKat scientology stuff is a huge, unfunny joke to me). My sole purpose for including this article, however, is to show you the type of grocery-store, crappy tabloid garbage that you should just walk on by when doing your weekend shopping!

PRAIRIEPUNDIT: The Daily Me? Once we get rid of all the corporate-sponsored newspapers, we’re coming for you paid-off TV “news” networks (let’s start with FOX News [the worst of the bunch] … then move up the crap pile towards the lighter stuff). America is slowly waking up and starting to demand REAL news (I’m ecstatic). Man, I hate gatekeepers!

WORLDTHREATS.COM: McCain and Lieberman: Win in Afghanistan. Definition of a John McCain: a sore loser who wants to bring the winner down to his level, by any means necessary! Definition of a Joseph Lieberman: most likely seen greasing the palms of a McCain (when the going is good) and any democrat who’ll listen to his nonsense (when the going is bad). Important note: steer clear of both. Over and out!

Amused by any of this? Better yet, did I help get you through your Friday grind (if only for a few minutes)? If so, (and I really hope so) why not join your fellow Remixers and let me know what you think of me through my feedback section (this way I can change if you want me to [truth: it’ll be kind of hard at first, because I’m thick-skulled … just warning you. LOL) so I can give you what you want: a website that actually listens to its customers. I truly value each and every comment I get from my readers so this is why I’m asking for your ideas and suggestions to help me out a little!

Also, if you haven’t done so yet, also please subscribe to my feed or email! This way I can send you instant notifications of my latest posts, which I work on every workday (weekends, I don’t touch a computer … I like to hit the Yuenglings instead).

Till Monday then people … I’m going to do some maxing and relaxing this weekend (going to wind up on Sanibel Island, because my lady’s birthday is on Monday, and I want to do something nice for her (she loves the shells. Me? Not so much)! Anyway, I’ll catch you later — have yourself a good one!
