If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself

Permalink 12:06:45 pm, Categories: Politics  

The title phrase comes from a commentary by the prominent conservative columnist Kathleen Parker.
She calls Palin "out of her league":

Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

There is nothing to add. I think this election is going to end up as a bloodbath for the Republicans. And it is all of their own making, including the financial meltdown.

EBay committing suicide

Permalink 08:58:52 pm, Categories: General  

In their latest FAQ, EBay states that checks and money orders are no longer allowed for payment.
Instead, they want people to use Paypal, which has a really bad reputation. Paypal's fees are outrageous, and their handling of disputes is way below par.
So, it seems EBay management is trying hard to run the company into the ground. Yet another Internet company that doesn't understand the Internet...
In a lot of markets, Craigslist already is eating EBay's lunch.

I came across this hilarious description of the $700B bank bailout proposed by the US government.
The best description of the "bailout" yet.
