The Week in Review: Money Issues #62

“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.

Man, I’m so ready to get out of here …

I mean, I’m not ready to start to start jinxing anything, but hopefully my Phils take this ride all the way to another downtown victory parade! We’re looking outstanding so far in this series, and I’m not going to be like the other fans who talk crap before the deal is sealed (or the Yankee fans who were talking crap way before this thing even started … “Oh, we’re going to sweep the ‘frillies’ … hey NY, what’s a ‘frillie”?) so I’m crossing my fingers and rubbing my lucky St’ Pat’s hoodie’s clover after each Phillies bat, and pointing to my Harry Kalas doll and wearing my World Series ’08 stuff the whole time (without washing it till it’s all over)! Man, I’m a nervous wreck, and I don’t think I have any fingernails left … Go Phillies!!!!

Ok, now on to the goods, which I deliver each and every week to all of “my” fans … Enjoy!

amy oops!: Funny Scary Halloween videos. Enjoy these Halloween prank … because the targets sure in the hell didn’t! Good stuff … yea I forgot to mention Halloweens tomorrow in my intro, my bad (in my defense, I have a Phillies game to watch)!

Discover: Happy 40^th Birthday, Internet! (Um, Again.) Happy B-day internet … man, you’re forty years old? Crap, you’re older than me, and I’m older that dirt … so that means you’re really old! Too bad you’re making me spend all my money on eBay and listen to the losers on the MLB chat rooms! Well, good luck with the next 40 years!

Weasel Zipper: Epic  Hollywood Douchebaggery: Hugo Chavez Using Spicoli to Pass Messages to Obama … First off, Spicoli is cool … not in that nerdy-cool kind of way either! He’s cool in that stoner, dumber that s@#t on a hot summer’s day kind of cool! However, using him to whisper down the alley is just asking for trouble. “Um, Obama … Chavez says you’re a d@#k … but my brother has some tools, and he can fix it!”

NewsBusters: 40 GOP Senators Sign Letter to Reid Demanding Internet Posting of Healthcare Bill. Oh, now the Republicans WANT to be transparent, do they? When did this strange turn of events begin? Oh, the second a democrat took the highest office this country can offer? Oh, I see! Note: this sounds like bulls@#t politics to me … throw this trash away! Now!

TOXEL.COM: 12 Creative Halloween Costumes. Want to see how your costume stacks up, creatively I mean? Here goes the best of the best (ok, most of these are store- bought, which is usually a bad thing, but my douchebag doctor costume is homemade and it sucks, so in this case it’s a good thing). HAPPY HALLOWEEN people … oh, except you Jehovah Witnesses (I know you don’t get down like that)!

So … did I do “it” this week? Was I good enough for you? You gonna come back next week (or better yet: next Monday through Friday)? Did you like what you just read? Did you hate it? Think I’m insane? Love the Yankees, and now hate me even more? Then why not tell me what’s on your mind through our feedback section already, which is set up for that exact same purpose. This way I can find out what you want to read, so I can make sure that I give it to you! This site is totally written for you people, and as its content writer I’m sincerely interested in knowing what you want from me! So go ahead and lay it on me already! Slide me some skin!

And if you haven’t done so yet, please subscribe to our feed or email! This way I can send you instant notifications of the all latest posts, which I write each and every weekday with these very same fingers, which I am using to write these letters, strung together right this very second (you might see these words later on, after I posted them, of course). Just don’t start expecting me to write on the weekends, because Homie don’t play that game … ya’ dig?

Ok, I’ll see you back here on Monday … I’m off to watch my Phillies “potentially” wrap this thing up, and save my sanity in the meantime, pretty soon. Man, I love this time of year … football, hockey, basketball … and now baseball (they’ve been dragging it out longer and longer each year it seems … which is cool by me. I love this sport!). Well, gotta go drink a few cold Yuenglings, hang out with the wife and relax! Oh yea, Go Eagles as well!!! Well, I’m out of here … I’ll catch you later, buddy — see ya!
