Walmart Stampede… OMG WTF!?!?

28 November, 2008 (15:28) | Odds and Ends | No comments

This is all over the Bloomy and all the big MSM sites, but Dealbreaker echos my sentiments exactly. People actually broke down the doors of a Walmart like blood-thirsty animals, trampled a temporary Walmart worker to death, all to be first in line to buy a TV. That’s right. A television.
Quoted verbatim from Dealbreaker:
You don’t have to vacation [...]

Embrace… The End of Capitalism.

So its pretty much a lock. GM, Ford and Chrysler are most likely getting a bailout. You can argue against the idea citing that its just throwing good money after bad, but its going to happen.
I really enjoyed Michael Moore’s interview with Larry King from a few days back. In it, he shared his thoughts on the [...]

Embrace: Market Volatility… and Bottoms

I haven’t been writing much lately about Swaplogic. I guess I’m completely distracted by what is going on the the stock markets.

Too Big to Fail. Everybody Embraces Rescue Packages.

Who else is in the soup line that goes around the corner?
Wasn’t the cause of the current market disorder judged to be caused by (in no particular order): deregulation, leverage, loose lending standards associated with subprime lending, securitization, credit default swaps, CDOs and greedy investment bankers. How did GM and the rest of the American automakers [...]

“No Election Here” – A Comparison of the American and Canadian Electoral Process

4 November, 2008 (17:00) | Musings, Odds and Ends | 1 comment

So I was hoping to be the only person in the entire blogosphere to not write about the 2008 Election. But I just can’t resist. Looks like there is going to be a record turnout at the voting stations, which is probably the most newsworthy item of the entire day!
Instead of writing about the outcome, [...]
