DMX’s house falls victim to foreclosure …the US dollar and 2009: scary stuff … bikini photos of one of the girls from the new 90210 … are Republicans not in touch with “real America?” Krugman knows how to stir the passions … big brother is watching – more than you know … “the end of the financial world as we know it,” by the guy who wrote Moneyball … if you read one story about the economy today, please make it this one …Ana Ivanovic likes the beach …

Whoops, forgot to identify: That’s Bar Rafeali of SI swimsuit fame
January 5th, 2009 at 8:06 AM
Thanks, TBL.
Bar’s probably in a top five or ten, easy.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:06 AM
The chick from 90210 could use a burger or eight, no?
January 5th, 2009 at 8:08 AM
Dead lotto ticket man was in yesterday’s roundup.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:10 AM
Don’t get me wrong, she’s cute — but there’s a few too many ribs for counting.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:13 AM
nice save, SD

Well, I loathe all the Brad Pitt’s around here as much as anyone.
The Lewis/Einhorn articles are fantastic. Pragmatic and completely do-able, their ideas are also a mixed big from left/right ideas. Well done.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:42 AM
TBL you might now her as “90210 girl”, but I’ll always remember her as “Psycho jailbait bitch from Nip/Tuck”.
Off to the doctor’s office for the follow-up visit on my asthma attack I had last Thursday. Also going back to work today, as I’m still trying to adjust back to waking up early.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:49 AM
How old is the 90210 chick? 13? 14? Anyway, well done.

LOL! Yea she need a protein shake ala BO.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:57 AM
oooo, that’s the girl from nip-tuck. never put them together, but i had heard about her way back when the show was announced.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:00 AM
Isn’t he playing point this year?
BTW, Nip/Tuck starts back up tomorrow night. Though the story lines have fallen off, it’s always good for hot-ass chicks.

Back to fulltime work after 2 straight short weeks = punch in face
January 5th, 2009 at 9:08 AM
Ugh, I dont have a holiday until Good Friday. 3 straight months of 5 day weeks is going to be killer.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:09 AM
Went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a while. I have a lot of work ahead of me to take off some holiday bulk, damn fudge.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:10 AM
no time off for me until Memorial Day. 21 weeks
What has happened to DMX? that guy used to be the man
January 5th, 2009 at 9:11 AM
These are to award regular season achievement, not to be used as a predictor for postseason success.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:12 AM
I’m in the same boat as Irish – no holidays/paid time off until Memorial Day. I will have one long weekend at the end of March for a bachelor party though (doing golf/spring training in FL).
January 5th, 2009 at 9:16 AM
MLK day on the 19th. Then nothing until Memorial Day…
January 5th, 2009 at 9:16 AM
Ouch. No MLK Day? No President’s Day? That hurts. Going 5 days a week until Memorial Day sounds like pure and utter torture…
/Checks calendar at new place of employment.
//Whew. MLK is a holiday for me… That would have sucked after plunging the knife in.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:17 AM
with his swing, he’s going to need a back-e-atomy by then.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:22 AM
As a black man I refuse to work on MLK day.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:24 AM
Bar – Top 5.
DMX loses his dog house – ARF! ARF! ARF!
Chick from 90210 – liked her in the school girl outfit in Transporter 2.

Start of the year is rough when your year to date billables are at nearly zero.

January 5th, 2009 at 9:31 AM
An article that proclaims that one political party is ‘out of touch’ and not the other is a joke. But then again, it is the New York Times…

@roeth- where are you going in FL?
January 5th, 2009 at 9:35 AM
Irish – Tampa area. We’re coming down the last weekend in March. Getting tickets for TOR/PIT in Bradenton on Friday night, and then are going up to TPC Tampa on Sat. for golf. Still looking for a course in the Bradenton area on Friday morning. Any suggestions?
January 5th, 2009 at 9:36 AM
michael lewis could write about competitive crew and I’d eat that shizz up. between lewis and gladwell links you have annihilated more than one productive morning.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:37 AM
thanks again tbl
January 5th, 2009 at 9:38 AM
Bradenton? very close to me. I have been to Stoneybrook in Bradenton to golf. not bad. that is the only one i can think of

The Times‘ stock has dropped 84% over the past five years, trading around $7/share now.
With a little luck and some more Krugman, they’ll be bankrupt soon enough, asking for a bailout of their own.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:49 AM
It’ll be better once the January and February newbies go back to their couches and cookies.
January 5th, 2009 at 9:52 AM
Why link to that far left hack Krugman? He says conservatives aren’t right??? Really??? Shocking!
