11 Oct 2010Congressional Staffers Make Big Gains On 'Green' Stock Bets:
Washington, D.C.
Well, isn't that just peachy keen!
It doesn't sound like much of a risky business bet to me either.
I guess all it takes is a savvy Congressional staffer to lay out a pile of cash to bet on the stock of what ever companies their Congressman or Senator boss is supporting legislation for... and Presto... the stock price magically goes UP!!!
Wow, that's a nice 'insider' gig if you can get it.
Too bad the Congressmen and their staffers don't let us little guys in on what companies they will push for... we might be able to magically double our money in a short time, too!
These staffers are apparently just 'bigger crook wannabees'... give them a little more time and practice and maybe they'll be right up there with their bosses... eh, Senator Harry Reid?

Brett Favre Apologizes To His Team For Scandal Distraction:
Minnesota Vikings
Is there going to be any 'fire' behind these 'smoking hot' girls' allegations of steamy lewd photos and masseuse seductions?
Brett has apologized to his teammates for the distraction this scandal is causing in the media... but he hasn't quite fully and straight-forwardly come out and denied all the accusations yet either!
Just like Tiger Woods' deep fall from grace with the sporting public... you hate to see an icon and heroic football role model suffer the same fate.
BUT... IF it turns out to be all or mostly true... come on guys ---
can't you just leave your pants on and go hire a DISCREET bombshell hooker for a $1,000-per-night fling to get it out of your system???
WHY be a sex-blinded dummy and risk your family, your career, and your reputation just for a few rolls in the hay?
When you are as rich as these big sports icons, you can have the best and sexiest girls money can buy... so why be stupid and hang your 'wienie" out where some sleazy media guy will gladly come along and help you chop it off for you?
Brett... we just hope it ain't so!!!

A Michelangelo Found Behind A Couch:
Buffalo, NY
I must be living wrong... or my Karma is against me... all I find behind my couch are candy wrappers, dust bunnies and the TV remote!
Kudos and congrats to that family! They were literally sitting on (or beside) an original, unfinished Michelangelo painting of the Pieta, a Madonna with Jesus painting... valued at possibly 300 million dollars!!!
It hung on the family wall for many years until hit by a tennis ball as family kids played inside. They wrapped it up and sorta forgot about it behind the couch.
Recent inquiries and professional evaluations are pretty much declaring this to be a "lost Pieta" done by Michelangelo in 1545!
Wowza... what a way to end the 2010 year for that family!
(Maybe it's not too late for them to adopt me.)

Senior Citizens Get No Social Security Raise in 2010, AGAIN:
Lookout Democrats... and the rest of you in Congress on all sides of the aisle!
You have just pissed off 58 million Senior Citizens by NOT giving any social security income increase for a second year in a row!!!
It's not nice to poke this sleeping giant of the gray-haired demographic.
Many of them live only on that monthly paycheck... and all other costs seem to continue going up in price: food, housing, gasoline, insurances, and on and on!
It seems Congress can certainly find a way to get their own big, annual 'automatic' pay raises... why couldn't they squeeze out (or use a 'bail out' for) a measly 1 or 2 percent increase in social security?
They (our beloved Congressmen and Senators) throw away, donate, waste and/or spend billions of dollars for thousands of earmark projects.
WHY NOT spend some money on these 58 million needy Americans who helped build and keep America the greatest country in the World???
*** Vote this current bunch of bums out in November... maybe that will finally get somebody's attention in Washington, DC. ***
