Arrgghh, that disproportionate amount of yellow makes me angry
This Is a Really Long Mission Accomplished
Call me foolish but I thought we already left Iraq. Military officials are considering extending the August 2011 timeline for troops to leave Iraq because, hey, why ruin a good thing? As we all know, Iraqis are thrilled with having our military in their country and especially the love the sight of a multi-billion dollar military base occupying an area where they could put 1,000 schools, hospitals or at least a nice casino (Iraqis gotta gamble too).
Wall Street Isn't Completely Above the Law I Guess
Amazingly, another Wall Street titan was taken down, the second in a month period at a time where there are likely hundreds of others that got away. Raj Rajaratnum, a founder of the Gallon Group, a hedge fund that does things that I can't afford, was found guilty on 5 terms of conspiracy. The case derives from several shady deals that Rajaratnum took part, concerning insider trading from various technology firms. Lest you think that 'the Raj' is a scapegoat, you will be comforted to know that the firms he made deals with will be ignored and you will never hear about this case again. Sorry Raj, but we needed to make an example of someone. Your name doesn't help your case either.
Mind Your Own Business Europe
An article in the BBC today asked the question, "Why are Americans so mad about oil prices?" The article pointed out that most European countries pay twice as much at the pump as Americans and our culture has thrived too long on 'scandalously cheap energy and big business.' So why are we so mad about gas prices? Because we're Americans and we get mad at things, that's what we're good at. We do wars, attack ads and WWE wrestling. You Europeans go ahead and do your sorbet and your waffles and...whatever else you're known for (I'm an American robot therefore I speak through an American filter). Why are we so mad, Europe? Why are you such pussies? American out.
