So. Young.

So I'm in the middle of a remodel, and I just stumbled upon my photo collection. I forgot how young I was once upon a time. As I was speaking to CDR about this on the phone, he reminded me that youth is wasted on the young.

I miss doing goofy things like running around nekkid on the beach. I reckon you're only young once, but still. I could be a little less cantankerous and a little bit more fun like I once was. Here's to having fun!

Can. Not. Wait.

Dear God

Dear God,

Please save us from your Mike Huckabee. I know he claims to be a big supporter of yours, but I've met him a few times and heard him speak, and I know he's just a bigot dressed as a preacher.

Mr. Huckabee thinks that AIDS patients should be quarantined, and that we shouldn't federally fund AIDS research. While this might be a good sound bite for the hang 'em high bigot crowd, you and I God, we know it's bad policy. He also wants to withdraw from the global market for food, which, well, where do I begin God?

The man is obviously an idiot who is no more capable of running this country than Bernie Ebbers would be running KPMG. To sum it up, God, please, please don't make me vote for Hillary Clinton.

Sincerely,

Me

Why Bush Sucks

He doesn't believe in the free enterprise system:

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration and major financial institutions are close to agreeing on a plan that would temporarily freeze interest rates on certain troubled subprime home loans, according to people familiar with the negotiations.

Yeah, it sucks that people didn't have the foresight to figure out how they were going to pay for their mortgages when their interest-only introductory adjustable rate mortgages reset to higher rates. That is NOT the government's problem. That's a private contract issue between the borrower and lender.

Because the government has intervened, people have learned that when they do something stupid, the government will bail them out. Also, this action is a slap in the face of those people who were responsible purchasers and bought houses they could afford. By not allowing stupid people to fail, the Bush administration has doomed us to repeat this cycle.

Japanese Hit By Mortgage Crisis

Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.

In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.

Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely be going for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.

Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.

I Love Models

They're beautiful when they pull off the entrance, the walk, the exit...

Fortunately for the rest of the world, these pillars of grace sometimes slip up. The result is beyond hilarious:

I'm BAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaCK!

After a long dry spell, I've decided this space has been vacant long enough. Look for updates soon.

Now everyone give it up for the complex multi-talents of Ms. Siedah Garrett!

Separated at Birth?

Bonus points if you can tell which one's which.
