Thank Abu Dhabi! America's Bank is back in the black.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071127/D8T68TNG1.html

So up and coming small-business CITIGroup is running out of money. Well thankfully, oil-rich city-state with an awesome name, Abu Dhabi, has bailed them out with a $7.5 Bajillion (ok maybe just billion) in investment. Why is Citibank running out of money? Blame it on all those people they tricked into getting houses they cant afford with sub-prime lending who them are such assholes they default on their loans when interest rate jumps. Didn't they ever think about all the bank executives they were going to hurt? All Citibank wanted to do was sell you the American Dream? They didn't deserve this, they're just a small independent company trying to make it's way through the big-city corporate world. Maybe the next time you decide to buy a house cause you want your child to go to a better school you might think about all the people you hurt at the bank when you can't pay your mortgage. Stop being so selfish... ass.

British Paper proves stupidity not limited to United States

(Don't know how long the above link will last)

So The Times of London has decided that they are going to be retarded and claim that Hillary is a lesbian sleeping with her assistant. I mean there are lows and then there is disgustingnessness (extra ness for emphasis). I guess they ran out of everything else they could make fun of her for. Lames I say... lames....

With CBS News writers on strike, possibility of a sequel seems unlikely.

http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN1950928120071119?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews&rpc=22&sp=true

Apparently the news is worried about getting their residuals for all those episodes they re-run and then sell on dvd.... or not. Wait a minute, why do the news writers need to strike. When did reporters become writers. Ok I'm all for hollywood writers striking because they are the ones providing the creativity for the shows and movies they write for. But why in the fudge do the news reporters need to strike? I'm hoping that "creative" journalism doesn't exist there. Although judging from Katie Couric's numbers it seems pretty certain no one is watching anyways so it doesn't really matter. Besides manufacturing the news seems alright for FOX why not CBS (oh snap did I just say that? damn skippy!).

Hugo Chavez is a giant douche

Correction a giant fake socialist douche.

Despite the tuition and grades required to go there, NYU students might actually be stupid.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1107/6892.html

So 20% of students at NYU will give up there right to vote for an iPod Touch. Worse than that 66% would give up right to vote for 1 year of tuition. I'm sure these are the same students that hang out in their dorm common rooms discussing how terrible the world is and how much they hate America, and how awesome Descartes is, while sipping there Starbucks Caramel Macchiatos. If these people are so apathetic towards the process of democracy maybe they should move to a country where it doesn't exist. I hear Cuba is nice, and there education is payed for by the government.

WGA is a bunch of pirates....

The WGA steals from my own flesh and blood... Observe exhibits A and B (A is on the left). The first is from IGN.com (see i give credit) and the second is from Cafepress.com. Now I wouldn't normally care except that the cafepress.com image was created over a year ago and I know how much these writer's care about palgiarism. Just look at that shirt of the guy on the left. Boo on you Writer's Guild.... Boo on you. http://www.Cafepress.com/zliberal
Where is the solidarity for all those who produce creative things....

MONKEY RAMPAGE!!!!

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=071113065725.yech1gw9&show_article=1

The capital of India is under siege! By a vast monkey army! I really feel I don't need to comment on this as the article pretty much speaks for itself. Though the best part is that there primary method of driving the monkeys away is by using, wait for it.... BIGGER MONKEYS! BRILLIANT!

Something Paris Hilton Should Have Endorsed....

http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,23663,22756513-10388,00.html?from=mostpop

So it was incorrectly reported that Paris Hilton was attempting to bring the plight of drunk Indian elephants into the world consciousness. I for one wish this story was true but alas she claims it is not. Oh well. Plenty of time left in the day for Paris Hilton to do something else dumb.

Saudis Reject OPEC Raise, Greasy Fast Food Restaurants Cry

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/a22562ba-914c-11dc-9590-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1

So oil is getting a little expensive... so what? Saudi oil minister doesn't want to increase output of petroleum? Oh butterscotch! They will be meeting next month in Abu Dhabi to discuss any future changes in output or supply shortages. More likely they are trying to figure out how best to capitalize on this situation before their customers realize there are other parts of the world with oil. I have no doubt that they will find the best possible method for exploitation with the help of the world's largest company, ExxonMobil. Boo....

Superferry! still stuck in Oahu....

http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/stories/2007/11/05/daily28.html

What's the big deal with Humpback Whales anyways? So they get hit by the boats or something.... big deal! I've had just about enough of these humpback whales causing problems for this awesome superferry. I need to be able to drive my car from one Hawaiian Island to another. Shame on you whales... stopping progress. Boo...

Democracy works! (sort of....)

I remember way back in the 90s when I took US history (does that make me sound old?). There was a chapter that talked about checks and balances (or so I think.. Im kinda making this up). I was so excited to know that there was in place a way of making sure not too much power ws concentrated in one branch. Ah the naivete of youth. That was of course before the supreme court certified a national election, the executive branch continually provided false information to push their agenda, and no vetoes were given out for the first few years. Well here comes The Congress! Bushy decided that a $22.3 bilion bill (because he knows thats a big number... except when its applied to the Middle East and then its basically minimum wage, right?) that dealt with water projects needed to be vetoed. Keep in mind that the city of Atlanta is currently extremely close to a massive drought. But Bush says no! Them demycrats is always just a taxin' and spending ya know. Well the House overrode the veto by quite a few votes because they are not stupid. The Senate is likely to folow suit as they voted 86-11 the first time (i think.. look it up.. im too lazy). The White House doesnt think this will set precedent, but then again look whos runnig it...

Google Slaps Apple... and Apple pretends to not pay attention

http://www.news.com/Google-unveils-cell-phone-software-and-alliance/2100-1039_3-6217001.html?tag=newsmap

For all the greatness of the iPhone, Apple still treats it like a child. It's not allowed to have un-licensed programs, not allowed to stay up late, or drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Here comes Google, fresh off it's $700/share last week, with it's cool kid, who gets to hang out past 10pm and has hippy parents. Do whatever you want, man! Here's my kid, let him explore the world and get down. Apple is too busy convincing people that they have the greatest piece of technology ever that they refuse to innovate or collaborate. Yay google, boo apple...

Oboooooma strikes again! Clinton not supposed to want to win!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/03/AR2007110300893_pf.html

Apparently politicians change their mind to better reflect positions they think Americans will identify with. How dare they, says Obama. Clinton is out of touch with "ordinary" Americans. He is the people's politician. I might agree with him since he thinks constantly whining about Clinton is what they want to hear. Americans definitely like to whine, so I tip my hat to you Obama, for representing the ordinary person.

Will Bush Intervene on Writer's Strike?

http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/hollywood-writers-strike-starts-monday/

So the writer's are a-strikin'! (see it sounds cooler if you put it that way) and Hollywood is shakin' (the letter "g" at the end of a gerund is stupid). Everyone knows (who is a super-cool and totally not dorky politico) that a president can nullify a strike. But will he? Will Bush miss his new episodes of CSI once the directors burn through extra scripts? One can only hope. Things get a mighty lonely in the White House Residence with only reality television on... he might have to talk to his wife!

I for one just pray (by which I mean not) that this strike ends before February 08 when Lost starts back up. I need to know who Jacob is!!!

South Carolina says it, too cool for Stephen Colbert

South Carolina is not doin itself any favors. we all remember that state fondly... Site of Sen Strom Thurmond, (in)famous racist who fathered a child with an African-American (i think he was from this Carolina- im too lazy to check, or use capitalization). Site of needless tobacco farmers. But it wont be the site of a Colbert Presidential run. Despite the fact that he filed his paperwork on time and payed his fee (a whopping 2500.000- the extra zeroes make it look like a larger number), but the state democratic party voted 13-3 to keep him off the ballot. Their reason? Would you believe they don't consider him a legitimate national candidate? After Tuesday's democratic debate Im not sure that I consider Kucinich a legitimate candidate, going on about UFOs and whatnot... sheesh! Whats the worse that could happen, South Carolina? Someone might confuse your state for one that can take a joke? Nope. Instead we can all be reminded state party officials still have sticks up all their respective butts. At least Colbert will get his check returned.... justice.
