The oil spill in the Gulf has been stopped, at least for now. That’s a good thing. And I understand it’s a terrible environmental disaster. Shrimp, fish, and other aquatic animals we can’t see, are probably devastated. But more often than not, the coverage on CNN is of oil-soaked birds either dead [...] (A big thanks to Emily bringing this wonderful little parody to my attention.) If you haven’t been keeping up on the BP’s response to the oil spill, this should catch you up quickly: We are f*cked.  There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite movies to have come out in the last few years. I’ve watched it three times and come away with a different take each time I watch. It’s a complex epic, but the basic premise? An early 20th century oil man will stop at nothing to [...]  So, I have a finance and econ degree, have friends who have worked on Wall Street, and I still have a hard time figuring out the true inner-workings of the market sometimes: It is the Wall Street equivalent of a perfect game of baseball — 27 up, 27 down, the final score measured in [...] By most accounts, the trillion dollars worth of stimulus money is running out. And yet, our economy really isn’t coming back. That is why a number of economists warn of a double dip recession. Because if organic growth isn’t there, and the free money from Bush and Obama runs out, then the economy will [...]  Home Sweet Home? 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 [...]  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 [...] 
Now that football season is almost over, The Great Wahl is going to be struggling for regular content. I guess that means I will have to revert back to my pre-NFL blogging about politics, economics, and random nonsense (like a hamster on a guitar eating popcorn). But for now, I’ll start in the [...] 
Unless you live under a rock or Bill Gates has you locked in his basement, you know that Apple has a big event today where they will hopefully almost certainly announce the release of a tablet computer. There have been rumors of one coming out since 2003, but I really think it’s finally [...] |
