HAPPY BIRTHDAY T-BILL!

***MUAH MUAH MUAH*****

Welcome to Club 39!

Jon Stewart is DA MAN!!!!!

Thankfully, Jon Stewart is both smart and affable enough to fight for the common man who doesn't know jackshit about finance or politics. If you haven't seen what the many news outlets have labeled as the War of Words between The Daily Show and CNBC, I posted the videos below from www.thedailyshow.com.

While many folks, especially Fox News and their band of ignoramuses in denial, will try to paint Stewart as a whiny liberal schmuck, viewers should take a moment to digest what's being said and mocked by Stewart of the real-world difficulties.

Here's an article from The Chicago Tribune:

Even BusinessWeek is shaking its head:

Frozen Peach

It's snowing in Atlanta!!! Huge ass cornflaks too! The locals were bugging out last night over reports that it might snow. Just before noon today, it started coming down but wasn't accumulating. After lunch at the Flying Biscuit, there appeared to be about 1.5 inches of fluff everywhere. The locals were amzaed and taking pictures as if hell hath indeed frozen over. The accumulation doesn't appear to hold up as it's warmng up a bit. Hopefully, it won't make for difficult driving in twelve hours.
