The Week in Review: Money Issues #50
By Pete on Aug 7, 2009 in Reviews
“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.
Hey guys, I got a little bored yesterday afternoon …
So I did some spring cleaning! Go ahead, take a look around and soak it all in … for starters, I added a salary calculator so you can see if your boss is ripping you off or not (I entered my info and was totally/pleasantly surprised … turns out a writer is only supposed to make peanuts [don’t tell my boss, LOL]). I also added a playlist so you can have a jam session while reading (that is, if you like what I’ve downloaded … if so you’re old (from one “getting up there” to another, right?). Then comes the coup de grace … my Twitter feed (seriously, don’t bother with this one [I only use it for business, and to poke fun at people who are famous for no apparent reason {note: my Twitter friends, @laughingapes, are like ten times worse … that’s why I love them so damn much … they make me seem sane}]). So what do you think about the makeover? Yea, yea, I know … I’m no designer, just a writer!
Well anyways, here goes the good stuff that was dug up this week by yours truly … Enjoy:
HOLY CUTENESS: Koala Sam Has died. What a second … did I read this right? Chlamydia? You mean this little f@#ker got the clap? LOL. But wait a second … we don’t kill the thousands of dirty bastards who pick this up every year due to stupidity! Why did they have to kill Sam? For pain? Really? Don’t they have medicine for that? That’s messed up!
THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP: Chris Brown Sentencing Delayed Three Weeks. If this was a regular wife-beating piece of s@#t trial I bet the judge would have dropped the “maximum sentence” hammer, but seeing as how it’s some rich no-talent who can buy his way out of trouble (and let’s not forget that “sincere” apology he made over the airwaves … that fake s@#t was nonsense, by the way) it’s alright to turn a blind eye to this serious crime! Community service? What a joke!
BUNGALOW BILL’S: California is so Desperate for Money They Close Down 8 Year Old’s Lemonade Stand. This story has way too many holes in it … like in the writer’s head! Come on man, where’d you dig this stupid s@#t up? What’s the real story? Where do people like you come from? Are you still living in your parent’s basement? Are you ever going to grow up? Are you one of these kids? Be honest with yourself … you’re reaching for straws, aren’t you weirdo?
X17online: Kate Gosselin To Break Her Silence On The Today Show. Hey Kate, why don’t crawl back under that rock! Seriously, isn’t exploiting your kids since birth enough (man, those poor children are going to need some help! Any psychiatrists out there accept group discounts? I mean LARGE groups!)? Your greed messed up your life … who else can you blame it on? Jon? Yea … I don’t think so! I’m so over this white trash s@#t!
TMZ: John Hughes Dies. What the Uncle Buck did you say? He died before the Breakfast Club had a chance to go Dutch? He was Home Alone? Yea that is some Weird Science! Well, they better light Sixteen Candles for him when they arrive in their Planes, Trains and Automobiles! This was supposed to be Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (he was heading out to The Great Outdoors) but due to this Miracle on 34th Street, he’ll have to reschedule it around his Christmas Vacation! So long J.H. … you will be missed!
So … what do you think? Did I do an “alright” job this week? Did any of my nonsense actually make sense to you? Do I make sense to you? Think I’m insane? Weird? Strange? Cool (oh, that would be pretty sweet if you answered “YES”). If you’d like to comment, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line through my (I mean ours … sorry) feedback section.

And if you haven’t done so yet, please subscribe to my (I mean ours … sorry, I keep messing up … it’s not because I don’t care … it’s actually because I would forget my head if it wasn’t attached! Seriously, I am very absent-minded) feed or email! This way I can send you instant notifications of the latest posts that I crank out each and every day that starts with the letters M, T, W, or F (What about the S days? You’re kidding me right now, aren’t you? I chill out on those days, and drink like a crazy fish).
Ok, I’ll see you back here on Monday … I’m off to watch my Phillies open up that gap in our division’s lead, (Marlin’s fans … you’re going down. Just kidding, it’s actually the Mets fans that truly get under my skin) drink a few cold beers (Yuenglings) and hang out with my lady and my group of dedicated Phightin’ Phils fans! Well, go out and have yourself a great weekend! I really, really mean it! Catch you later, pal!
