The Week in Review: Money Issues #46

“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.

What is up with my internet connection today …

I can’t do this, and I can’t do that (by this I mean watch streaming video highlights of the games last night, and by that … ah, forget about that… it’s personal [the online doctor said I’ll be alright. LOL])! I haven’t really been able to surf the web as easily as I’m used to doing and this weekly review has taken me much longer than usual. Now, keeping this in mind, please note that I put a lot of timely effort into it, but the ROI (read: amount of time it took me vs. the enjoyment you’ll get out of it) might not be exactly up to par. However, if you do wind up enjoying yourself, please disregard this drawn out disclaimer!

Well, here they go … in all their glory (for what it’s worth):

THE BUSINESS INSIDER: Buffett: First Stimulus Was Like Viagra Mixed With Candy. How the hell is this old fart supposed to know what Viagra feels like, mixed with candy? Oh, I see … because he’s old, just like his old ideas! Hey Buffett: second stimulus you say? You’re full of s@#t and ploys to make money off of people’s suffering … that’s what I say!

Gear Live: Amazon drops price of Kindle 2 by 16% to $299. Oh, you didn’t hear the latest? I have a crystal ball and it’s telling me that you’ll be able to pick up one of these crappy things up for under $100 in a few months. Really, who wants to lug this hunk of junk around with them? Make it smaller Amazon … make it smaller!

FRESNOBEEHIVE.COM: Season six “Project Runway” designers announced. Now that I have cable running to all three of the TVs in my house, I no longer have to watch this type of garbage (my wife has just lost her stranglehold on the remote control … Woo Hoo!). As I recall, this show only has one thing going for it: Heidi Klum (NIIICCCEE!).

Engadget: T. Boone Pickens scouting new home for $2 billion wind farm. Didn’t I just tell you three articles up that old people don’t know s@#t (LOL)? This billionaire moron’s plans aren’t going anywhere! Wind? Really? How Are YOU going to make money off of this silly idea (Lord knows that’s all that’s running around that shallow, greedy head of yours)?

FiveThirtyEight: Is Obama Improving America’s Global Image? Not to detract from how swell of a job I think our Commander in Chief is doing lately, but in all actuality a talking turd could give America a better global image that that last clown and his sorry ass den of thieves! Seriously … a talking turd!

Were you just entertained by any of this (please be honest. I can take it [up to a certain point, I should add here. I’m a Pisces … what can I say?])? I’d love a “YES”, but if you say “NO”, I won’t crack (well not in front of everyone else here at the office. Maybe later. In the restroom. LOL). Let me know what you truly think through my feedback section! This way we’ll be more like pals than some of those fake friendships we all find ourselves in from time to time. I’m a straight shooter, and I wouldn’t talk crap behind your back (unlike Mark in Accounting … that freaking jerk!). I love to know what my customers like to read, so that I can write it for them!

And if you haven’t yet, please subscribe to my daily feed or email! This way I can send you instant notifications of all my latest posts, which are worked on each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (I’ll stop here, because I don’t play that weekend jive-turkey nonsense. Those are my fun, footloose and fancy-free days).

Ok, I’ll see you back here on Monday … I’m going to chill out for a couple of days. Man, I need it after that long last weekend of moving my junk from one house to another! Well, have yourself a great weekend!
