The new Bond girl … quite possibly the most brutally-honest read on the economy; so good, we nearly made it a quick-hitter … this guy said he wouldn’t hire Federal Reserve chairman Bernanke to be his gardner … this is a depressing story … man stabs dog to death …

Any video to try and make Kobe look bad. TBL is on a mission.

Romo and Jessica, because it’s been awhile.
Eagles fans everywhere agree… more attention on these two please!
TBL — The WSJ article was a great read. The author is correct that, in general, any time the government has some sort of emergency intervention in the economy they do something terrible.
There are exceptions. I doubt this particular adventure is going to be one of them, though.

Is anyone still left in their Survivor pool? If you can’t take Chicago this week, who are you going with? The Giants?
October 30th, 2008 at 8:25 am
Kind of makes you worry about your 401K.

Our pool, which had about 20 people in it, was over in Week 5.

understatement of the day…

anyone hear the clip with Obama talking about Sanford & Son and referencing Weezy from the Jefferson? How does the black guy mess that up? it has not political relevancy, but found it funny.

Let me know who buys that game 5 “rain water” because I have some magic beans I think they would be interested in.

any update on arrests/deaths/burnt cars in Philly?
October 30th, 2008 at 8:34 am
what will be worse, WS riots in Philly? or Devil’s Night in Detroit?
October 30th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Cranbarry!

detroit always wins.

benji — I have no idea, but here’s a couple of great sentences from the700level.com about last night:
We were a little dry liquor-wise and finding a beverage proved quite dificult. You know where the easiest drink was found? Gay bars. True story. You could walk into any of the gay bars west of Broad and get a few cold ones and some shots without waiting in line. Hey, cold beer is cold beer.
The crowd was fucking jubilant and we only witnesses a few acts of complete idiocy. (people were literally going through a dumpster to find shit to throw. GOOD WORK! fucking retards)

Philly fans are so classy. There is no more deserving city to win a WS.

time to slip him a $20, Jason.

the new bond girl is okay. My favorite bond girl was Pussy Galore
October 30th, 2008 at 9:11 am
who could stab a doggie? that’s weaksauce.
October 30th, 2008 at 9:15 am
no doubt man. i’m not reading anything about someone stabbing a dog. it would make me too furious.

The underrated part of that Colts story is that they’re getting back Kelvin Hayden…which means Tim Jennings will be off the field. That in itself saves the Colts about 50-60 yards in penalties each game.

@TBL–The WSJ article was fantastic. How is it that the people in our government who can make actual changes and prevent what is coming down the road cannot understand the wisdom that Mr. Laffer writes about?

I’d love to know why Steve Sax won’t appear on M&M.
