This is awful. It’s one of those terrible times when you know the rest of the world is saying “Only in the US.” Unfortunately, that is true. So, so sad.
Dear Americans,
markn:
Please stop eating turkey and start posting on Tumblr again. I’m bored, and it’s depressing to see only my own posts in my feed.
Yours,

We’ve never had a harder time shooting a Hardly Working than we did with this one. Nobody could keep it together when Ricky was saying “If you’re going to use two, just use one. If you’re going to use two, just use one.” Enjoy.
Dexter
Awesome episode this week, not only because it was actually a great episode but because two of my biggest predictions were confirmed (with Anne-Sophie being a witness to both): [1] I called who the Skinner was the first time we saw him, I think in Episode 2. [2] I called that the blood was fake when Dexter was given the shirt
Conceptualizing The Numbers

The current Credit Crisis bailout is now the largest outlay In American history. Crunching the inflation adjusted numbers, the bailout has cost more than all of these big budget government expenditures – combined:
• Marshall Plan: Cost: $12.7 B, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $115.3 B • Louisiana Purchase: Cost: $15 M, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $217 B • Race to the Moon: Cost: $36.4 B,...

What the F*ck is Going on?
The DJIA closed just above 7500 today, and 1 USD is buying 1.3 CAD. I’m thinking it’s finally time to push my US funds into my Canadian account.

Is A Sarah Palin Book Worth $7 Million? →
The answer is no. I can’t believe they compared this to Tina Fey’s $6M deal, either. Why? Because they look alike? Tina Fey is fucking brilliant, that’s why she gets $6M. Sarah Palin is already a has-been. I can’t believe the media is keeping her in the spotlight.
Interesting crazy facts
