The Week in Review: Money Issues #38

“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.

I so love the Fridays!

Hey gang … what do you have planned for the weekend? Well, I have to take the little lady over to Sanibel, because it was her birthday present, and she has just been dying to go shelling (I have no idea why, but she did pretty good on my birthday, so I’m just returning the favor). You going out drinking with everyone else, or for you northerners: going over to the shore (I remember those days. A.C. was my spot)? Whatever it is, I hope you have a safe one, because now that the weather in warming up, the drunk nutcases are coming out in crowds (and they’re getting around on your highways, where you’re going to be at. Remember this). Anyways, have fun (now that I pissed on your parade. Sorry).

Here goes the best of the best this week (to be honest with you: the stuff wasn’t too bad out there today). Enjoy:

Follow Me Here: FDA Says Cheerios Is An Unapproved Drug. Looks like I just took some drugs this morning then! Really egelwan … is this how dumb you want to get? There’s “points to be made” and then there’s this … way to reach for the straws i-i-id-dd-oo-ttt! BTW: What’s up with the cut-and-paste jobs you so-called bloggers are doing lately? Write some original content for once!

Strange Herring: Arnold Wants to Sell San Quentin … Hey Guvuner, I sincerely hope this is a goddamn joke (a real unfunny one, I might add). Releasing 38,000 prisoners early just to bank profits is a criminal act. Your making-pot-legal idea was pretty cool. This? Not so much!

Mashable: Major Google Outages Today: #GoogleFail Or #AT&T Fail? Yea Google, you pissed me off yesterday … you were messing up my “research” time (baseball scores, a little eBay shopping, and things I can’t write about here). Man, I wish you weren’t so powerful … hey Jeeves, what do you think about this? Oh yea, who cares?

dbtechno.com: Social Security, Medicare May Soon Disappear As Funds Drain. Nice going, fear mongers! Way to lie about shit to get all the sheep upset. I thought we left that modus operandi with the puppet Bush/evil (read: really creepy) Cheney administration that is no longer in power. I guess you can’t clean up all the crap at once!

Advertising Age: Someone Bids $13,000 For Huffington Post Internship. I more than likely would want them to pay me … color me crazy! BTW: I sent in my resume ages ago (while I was poor and in college) … never heard anything back from them (I wonder why, but not too much).

Did I “get it” this week? Were you impressed with my level of service? I read the letters, and I have taken them all in … this is what they have been asking for, and I think I delivered. If you don’t think I read yours, or worse: you didn’t write one, then why not join us Remixers and tell me what you want through my feedback section! This way I’ll be sure to fit you in next week (and I’m not just saying it, like all those corporate bastards. I care about you and your needs).

Also, if you haven’t done so yet, please subscribe to my daily feed or email! This way I can send you instant notifications of all my latest posts, which I bust my chops writing five days out of seven (Sats and Suns are a big no-no, if you ask me. Those are my days to relax, drink and think things over [like, “Should I go to the pool or the ocean today?” or “Yuenglings or Miller High Lifes {dumb question — Yuenglings, 98% of the time}?]).

Well, I’ll see you back here on Monday … I’m going to be hanging out with the crazy shellers on the Gulf Coast. Have yourself a great weekend!
