Have you heard about the dogs the Navy Seals are using? They are bulletproof, can hear through concrete and can record high-def video of missions, even in the dead of night. I’m pretty sure one lives next door to me and has been working on night training for about six weeks now.
A Starbucks in El Paso has fired a dwarf that was working there. They said he didn’t come up to their standards. I didn’t know when you interviewed for a job at Starbucks, they had a sign that says “You have to be this tall to serve.” The dwarf is suing saying that he got the short end of the stick. I guess it is ok to order a short drink but not from someone who is short. One of my readers on Facebook commented that Starbucks didn’t want you to know that coffee stunts your growth.
I see where the U.S. has reached its debt limit. Does that mean Visa is canceling Congress's credit card?
The Don has taken all the fun out of the upcoming Presidential race by dropping out. I was looking forward to seeing him debate that thing on his head.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who is accused of raping a hotel maid, is known as the IMF Chief. If you are not sure what IMF stands for, I’ll give you a hint, the “I” stands for idiot. You can fill in the MF.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was one of the provisions of the sweeping Dodd-Frank financial reform bill enacted in 2010. This watchdog agency was designed to fix many of the regulatory loopholes that allowed big banks to take on too much risk. Well guess what? Congress is considering measures that would substantially weaken it before it writes its first new rule. Just another case of Wall Street over Main Street in Washington D.C. Your tax dollars at work.
Today’s good read is The Gods Of Greenwich by Norb Vonnegut. This is his second novel and is a real page turner set in the middle of the smarmy world of Wall Street and Hedge Funds. Norb Vonnegut is to Wall Street what John Grisham is to Law.
Stay tuned for future adventures
