Lil' Wayne Has a Blog on ESPN?!?

I almost feel as if my blog is lessened because of this new unheard of info. Though he does say Aaron Rodgers, "has been wonderful," and that he loves the Packers...so I think I LOVE IT!!!

Get money!


By the way, the original title of his blog was "Prostitute 3"

Have you ever thought this would happen?

Third post in about 20 minutes, but this warrants discussion.

A section I found on the New York Times:

In the Roosevelt Room after the session, the Treasury secretary, Henry M. Paulson Jr., literally bent down on one knee as he pleaded with Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker, not to “blow it up” by withdrawing her party’s support for the package over what Ms. Pelosi derided as a Republican betrayal.

“I didn’t know you were Catholic,” Ms. Pelosi said, a wry reference to Mr. Paulson’s kneeling, according to someone who observed the exchange. She went on: “It’s not me blowing this up, it’s the Republicans.”

Mr. Paulson sighed. “I know. I know.”

This is unheard of in today's day and age. I'm not sure which is more extraordinary...the fact that the Secretary of Treasury literally begs to the Speaker of the House, or that the Speaker of the House basically told the Secretary of Treasury, "Fuck off".

Full article found here.

I have now been floored off my feet for every day of the past week...and the worst part is I know it won't end...it's like a hellish version of "Groundhog Day".

Economic Blackhole

The more I read about the economy (and I have been reading a lot) the more afraid I become. I mean honestly you got this thing down right? Time to move a few stocks? Go international? Though I know we don't have much in any banks...I just think nothing is looking good. Government is practically becoming socialist with a bailout. Investment banks are moving to pre-depression structures. I don't give a crap how much money Buffet invests in Goldman Sachs the economy as we know it is already in a recession. I laugh out loud when I remember those who said we weren't in a recession a few months ago...now Bernanke is WARNING of a very likely recession. Guess what? We are in one. People were so worried then, but then more news came by and we forgot...as everything grew worse...and now people do not realize how badly this is. At least in my very uneducated opinion. And the federal government still does not pay attention to the increasing risk of inflation...a silent enemy (stagflation anyone?). I just think some people in economics right now never look at what is under their noses, and are not analyzing this enough. We as humans (and greedy Americans) move to rashly in our actions and almost never forsee the consequences. We never learn either. Our greediness constantly blinds us from realizing that we are creating a bubble in any field that we pour tons of money into. Dotcom bubble...housing...there always is one...Remember when that tax rebate seemed like a good idea...now it seems so futile...how was a tax rebate going to fix a credit crisis when Americans are struggling to pay heating bills? I know everything is going to be very volatile, but it seems like we are constantly making the wrong moves, and even though I am fairly confident everything will turn out fine...there is a growing fear in me that America could be facing an economic crisis that none of us have predicted yet.
