Had my vacation request for St. Patrick's Day turned down. No Flogging Molly concert this year. Instead I get to deal with drunk Spring Training attendees. Joy...
Oh, Balent. NO.
Jan. 12th, 2009 03:51 amA review of what may be the worst comic ever. Warning that comic is Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose, so its both NSFW and NSFSanity...
Bailout passes Senate, goes for House vote on Friday. So some of you out there HAVE to know more about economics than me. Explain to me WHY companies whose leaders mismanaged themselves INTO this problem have to be saved. HOW if it doesn't have a giant cash band-aid put on it RIGHT NOW the whole world goes up in flames...
I see people pointing at Washington Mutual as a sign post that the bailout MUST HAPPEN OR ALL OUR BANKS WILL BE NEXT. Except WaMu got gobbled up by a financial institution that DIDN'T fuck themselves. So as far as I can tell, anyone who has or IS banking with them is at the same spot as before. WHY can't the same happen to the others? Let them become weak and easy prey for solvent companies?
Because hell, I could easily be missing something here. I'm no finance expert. Or even a dillentante. But all I see as the reason behind the urgent need for the bailout are vague forecasts of doooooom and constant mentions of the Great Depression. So educate me. PLEASE...

Lessons of pain
Nov. 28th, 2005 02:43 pmAfter watching VH1 classic during the day, specially their request style shows, I have come to an unhappy conclusion. Bands like Savatage and Dio have made me realize that D&D nerds should have their fingers broken if they even THINK about picking up a guitar and writing songs...
I mean the 80s had some horrible rock'n'roll/metal/hair bands. But the "pseudo-fantasy" ones? Eeek.
Plus of course, they can be blamed for the sheer nonsense that is Coheed & Cambria...
