On the bailout

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 10:00 pm

Granted, my knowledge of the ways in which Wall Street works are limited, but al this talk of a bailout has me thinking.

If some if not most of the huge $700 billion (!) bailout is going to be used to buy the morgages that banks like Lehman held–won’t that just wind up costing the taxpaer money? If some of these morgages are/were “toxic”, what good would it do for the gov’t to purchase them? Look what the did to the banks!

Any insight or clarification would be appreciated

Lehman Tanks

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 7:42 pm

Wow….just wow….

At work, as things were slow, we watched Lehman’s stock as the market opened. The thing sank faster than we could imagine.

Who would’ve thought?

Meanwhile, the big question around here is what effect is Lehman’s tanking going to have on the local economy. Definitely going to mean a significant downturn in tax revenue for the city….does that mean a tax increase for the rest of us (boo!)

The Mayor expresses confidence in the situation, but I’m a bit skeptical of things right now.

VMAs

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 9:21 pm

Some on the Right are getting all angry over the politicis that the host of this year’s VMAs brought to the show.

My take: Who cares?

According to my coworkers, who watched the show, they said it was really dull and boring. Who the heck is Russell Bran anyway? (consensus opinion).
One of the girls went so far to say that the celebs arrival was even better than the show itself.

They also agreed that Pink performed really well. The only disagreement the girls seemed to have was over Rhianna’s performance. One girl said she didn’t sing well, while another (an adnitted Rhisanna fan girl) praised the performance.

Still, who the heck is Russel Bran?

Bison

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 9:55 pm

Stopped by the butcher tonight to get some meat for dinner. They didn’t have any good lean beef, so I got some bison instead.

Damn that stuff is good!

Any insights on Elk?

Slap!

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 8:56 pm

For some reason I’m feeling a bit low right now. Really don’t know why.

It’s that kind of feeling where one just feels like they could use a good slap upside the head. Yeah…that would do it.

Suggestions?

BEEF!

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 7:36 pm

It’s what’s for dinner on this glorious Meat Monday (Yes, I often plan my dinners by the first letter of the day of the week).

Beef! Beef! Beef!

Things that confuse me

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 7:30 pm

Why would a gym host a happy hour at a bar? As alcohol is not condusive to weight loss/muscle gain, doesn’t it seem a bit odd for a gym to be promoting this?

Overwhelmed

Half the department was out today….quite overwhelming…

Thank goodness for sleep on the weekends.

Cuil:Fail Engine

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 9:42 pm

Anyone else tried that new search enginge Cuil?

I don’t like how it displays the results. Nor do I like how inaccurate many of the results are compared to Google. Then there were the reports of its downtime as well.

California Terminates Trans-Fats

Schwarzenegger Terminates Trans Fats

Granted, as one of the experts quoted in the article said:

“Perhaps the biggest issue,” said Keith-Thomas Ayoob, associate professor in the Pediatrics Department at Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, “is how much of the foods do we even need to be eating? Is this going to change obesity? No, because you’re swapping out one fat for another, the calories are the same. Would it be more beneficial for our hearts? Maybe.”

Still won’t stop people who don’t care about their diets from eating poorly.

Spent

Finished Hypertrophy I this morning and my whole body feels spent. Exhausted all day and everything.

On the plus side, my coconut cauliflower mash turned out great!
