  • You Can Stand Under My…

    We’re just chillin like the pandas, but keeping a weary eye on everything else. 

    • Obama will probably reverse Bush’s idiotic limits on stem cells today.  Bush didn’t even know what stem cell research was all about, no doubt.  Rove probably told him he [...]

  • Shit For Brains

    image



    Everything is turning to shit around here and I can prove it.  Witness:

    1) The ups and downs of the stock market can be directly traced to my investment activity.  I have automatic investments into stock mutual funds set up for the 4th of the month [...]

  • Searching For A Bottom

    image



    I’ve been busier than CNBC’s Trish Regan‘s eyes darting off-camera (what DOES she keep looking at?  Is David Faber flashing her on the sidelines?), so I only have time for a few newsy/humorousy bits. 

    • The Republican’s only leader in the Senate, Mitch [...]

  • Face Plant

    I know you’re all sick and tired of seeing and hearing the bloated El Rushbo and the ultimate demise of Michael Steele as RNC chair as much as I, so it’s time for something completely different.

    Here, then, is the perfect way to get back at your lazy husband, boyfriend, [...]

  • A Cocktail You Can Believe In

    image



    With the Kentucky Derby right around the corner...oh, who am I kidding?  It’s always a great time for cocktails and my friend Kev and I have found our new, best friend.  Screw the mint juleps, I say, ‘cause powdered sugar?  Ain’t gonna happen at Alan’s [...]

  • My Formula For Success

    image

    Well, well, well.  We can finally find something to blame for the financial crisis, and its name is the Gaussian copula function.  It looks like this: 



    I’m no mathematician, but I’m pretty sure the part at the end inside the last set of parentheses [...]

  • You Can’t Fool Me Most of the Time

    image



    I almost hate to do this to you, fixated as you are on what’s left of your 401(k), but I’d feel as criminal as Bernie Madoff if I didn’t weigh in on stories that most would like you to forget.  Watch me roll. 

    1.  The [...]

  • We’re Soaring With Eagles Today

    While you’re contemplating how a company can lose $61B in one quarter and still stay in bidness, I’ve been pondering other things, which have absolutely nothing to do with that.  Lucky you. 

    • One day last week, I was thinking about Paul Harvey since I haven’t heard him on [...]

  • Off The Wire

    image



    Laura Bush talked about her new life of freedom in Dallas and lamented that she and George weren’t getting “The Dallas Morning News” delivered until well in the afternoon, due to Secret Service protection prohibiting regular delivery.  Honestly, I don’t know why she’d be [...]

    Ahh, gay day...finally!  (via)

    It has been way too long since we’ve had an all-gay day around here, and that just won’t do.  Suck it up, or hit the “Next blog” button at the top of your screen, if you can find it.

  • Turds in Punchbowls

    Swampland’s only Governor, Bobby Jindal, delivered his response to Obama’s speech and it landed with a resounding thud across the land.  I would liken it to a bag of flaming dog shit on the front porch which can’t be extinguished, but that would be a bit harsh.  Let’s just [...]

  • Abandon Ye Principles!

    image



    Desperate times call for, well, you know.  Finances have deteriorated to such a point in Texas that there’s a new bill which would allow liquor stores to be open on Sundays.  What’s the world coming to? 

    Texas, our Texas is a rather prudish state.  [...]

  • Oh, Piyush

    image



    Something tells me we’re going to be hearing a lot from Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (not his real name) for the next decade or three, starting with his stellar response to Obama’s big speech tonight.  Still, questions remain. 

    Even though Bobby’s been a [...]

  • The Money Shot

    You’ll be fixated on cash this week, I just know it. 

    Since we’re all hoping to become “Slumdog Millionaire”s before we die, there’s a few other things we need to take care of first, like turning the nation into a Citi and making Bank of America the real [...]

  • Playing My Part

    We love us some Deborah Cox around here.  She’s like the dance diva, R&B mama we never had - almost like Lt. Uhura from Star Trek before she gained all her weight back and went on Psychic Friends with Dionne, but not exactly.  Anywhose, Miss Deborah came out with a [...]

  • Your Order of Stupid Has Shipped

    image



    You probably thought “American Idol” drama queen Tatiana Del Toro was TMTH, but honey, wait’ll you get a load of the generalized craziness and downright delusional thoughts coming from Michele Bachmann, esteemed Representative from Minnesota.  She claims:

    • Republicans were shut out of [...]

  • Send In The PoPo

    Think your 401(k) balance sucks?  You are not alone, my little poor-housemates. 

    Bill Gates still has more money than you, but the value of his personal investments fell by $3B in the 4Q.  If things continue at this pace, he won’t even be able to afford a SaladShooter® [...]

    Giving new ammunition to the religious fanatics, the Arkansas House of Representatives approved a bill allowing guns in houses of worship. 

    If you search the Bible, you’ll find many references to killing and death.  I know - I looked it up.  Let’s see what [...]
