It's the Economy Stupid Wednesday


Fannie, Freddie, and Lehman (Brothers) Oh My! I have nothing really to add that hasn't already been said, though today's news on Lehman Brothers does not look good for health of the company. (Yes, that is what is called an understatement.)

Behold the power of a bad google search can have on the markets.


Um...Microsoft you are wasting your money if this is your ad with Jerry Seinfeld (he was big in the 90s, right?). And just a little piece of advice from me. If you spend that much on an ad, you won't look like an old dinosaur if you actually allow people to embed it. It always looks crappy when I have to get it off of YouTube. And other thing, don't force people to use your products to watch it on your site. Silverlight, really? [For shits and giggles, a couple of reviews here and here.]

Check out our taxpayer money hard at work, courtesy of the Department of the Interior. Gives a new angle to the "Drill, Baby, Drill" chant at the RNC, huh?
