Wernick calls and emails me his random business ideas about every other week (because he hates the idea of having to be a lawyer???). To date, I’ve rejected them all as completely idiotic. One of his most recent ones was trying to convince me that you could apply the Netflix subscription model to the magainze [...]

I’ve posted this chart periodically over the last year. But it always help to have a little refresher when new jobs reports come out:

Nonfarm payroll employment was little changed (-36,000) in February, and the unemployment rate held at 9.7 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment fell in construction and information, while [...]

Viacom is pulling the plug on putting some of it’s shows on Hulu. Most notably, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart — the one freakin’ show I go to Hulu for.
I guess, why give Rupert Murdoch’s baby all that web traffic when people can just go to the Comedy Central website directly so they [...]

Less than two months before your 2009 taxes are due. Maybe some of The Great Wahl readers are on this list. If they are, they are my best friends…
I never knew the IRS released stats this specific on it’s tax collection from individuals. An interesting snapshot of the Big Dogs. Definitely a list for all [...]

What do you do when you’ve been trapped in your DC apartment for days on end because of the Snowpocalypse/Snowmageddon and can’t make it to your worthless Georgetown Law classes? You read 1,000,000 word articles from The Atlantic, apparently.
And that is exactly what Steve has done. He forwarded me this uplifting piece this morning. A [...]

So, it’s not completely official, but I’m probably moving to Minneapolis in the near future.
I just got a call from The Hittman — he just got an offer accepted on a condo in Minneapolis. And he’s going to be my landlord come March/April once he closes on everything.
I just couldn’t stand to be away from [...]

I always find too many informative political and economic articles to share, so I’ll select a few and throw them all in to one post of important stuff you should read to get your week started:
1. Maybe we shouldn’t be blaming our leaders for not being able to lead:
A thought-provoking read from Slate.com: Down With [...]

I don’t think I can technically say ‘Super Bowl’ in this post without Rodger Goodell coming in the middle of the night and murdering my first born, but I’ll risk it.
For the unfamiliar, my college buddy, Evan (who rides the coattails of his sister’s ‘Say Yes to the Dress’ fame), lives in Miami and claims [...]

My Super Bowl picks and props will come later, but for now, a quick note on two commercials to potentially look forward to this Sunday:
I) Brett Favre is apparently moving out of his comfortable shell made of Wrangler jeans and Sears TVs to pitch Hyundais.
Rumor has it that he’ll be mocking his age as the [...]

I’m this close to packing it up and moving down under to New Zealand (or is ‘down under’ exclusive to Australia?) to earn a living:
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – A New Zealand teenager who says she auctioned her virginity online for $32,000 to raise tuition money did not break any laws but it might be risky [...]
