Dissidence and Discounts!

Hey, news to all CEO's: if you want to get my attention, blast The System and offer me discounts off your already discounted stock!

That's what Patrick M. Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com did. In his post, he rips the SEC and warns of an impending stockmarket castastrophe in a vernacular that even the financially-retarded (me!) can understand. Okay, I did for a sec, then lost it again, but, my point is...read the blog, learn something about how the US economy is circling the drain, then get 10% off a purchase to brighten your spirits! Hey, you can't take it with you, right? I got some of those 'skinny' jeans 'cuz I'll actually look good in them standing in the soup line after the crash. Charleston, anyone?

"Zed's dead, baby"

Dunno if "Zed's" his name, but Ving Rhames' dogs got medieval on his ass! The man was the caretaker of the 4 dogs, mastiffs, for 2 years, was found mauled on the front lawn. My sister has a mastiff, Simon, who is gigantic and who'd probably find a fully-grown male a 'snack' without having to share with 3 compadres - but he won't enter a room if a broom is placed across the doorway. She'd better buy more brooms.
