Yahoo Finance: Sirus/XM may not survive 2009... - Remlik Feb 10, 08:30 4
- firck. Who else? -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:34
- I wonder if they put themselves on it. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:34
- With 20 million subscribers it won't disappear, but I would not be surprised to see someone take it over - decline Feb 10, 08:34
- oh, now I want to read the rest of the list. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:30
sitwap: Rhinna assisting police... - Remlik Feb 10, 08:28 11
- From what I read last night (can't remember what site), the number of pro-Brown, anti-Rihanna statements are amazing. - kelly Feb 10, 08:34
- how come your news stories have some words in all caps? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:32 2
  - Probably a wire source. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:32 1
    - (I think they decided "ALL CAPS isn't ANNOYING enough") -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:33
- how pissed is the company that rented him the car? -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:31 3
  - I expect they will attempt to continue charging the rental fee to Brown -- nm - decline Feb 10, 08:36
  - I hadn't thought of that. Ouch. I hope they didn't have any clients for today ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:32
  - hee, i was just thinking that. -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 08:31
- who? -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Feb 10, 08:30
- Am I the only one really surprised by this turn? nm - Jim Feb 10, 08:30
- Good for her. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:29
Now you can type like the President! Obamafont! -- (link) - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:28 1
- get your own damn fries -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:28
SITWAP: Is this a bad thing? Florida is running out of bullets. -- (link) - TaurusII Feb 10, 08:20 10
- [deleted] 8
  - and....I need to move now -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:25
  - My dad went out and bought a lot of ammunition thinking Obama is going to take away guns. - JaxSean Feb 10, 08:25 6
    - Not an uncommon line of thinking unfortunately. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:30
    - My dad and my uncle bought a couple of new hand guns apiece for the exact same reason -- nm - decline Feb 10, 08:27
    - "You took my guns, but I still have lots of ammo I can throw at you!" -- nm - JaxSean's Dad. Feb 10, 08:25 2
      - I think the goal is to shoot the people who come to take the guns ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:34
      - *gets out vise grip, hammer and nails* -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:30
    - Your dad is dumb. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 08:25
- Yay. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 10, 08:21
huh...gas went up 35 cents last night. -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 08:19 5
- On the way in, it was down about a dime. -- nm - Amy Feb 10, 08:32
- Not in Martinsville. Dropped to $1.60. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:20 3
  - really? Check it on the way home tonight if you can. I'm curious. -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 08:23 2
    - Will do. It was $1.65 last night. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:25 1
      - *sigh* $1.85 is really good around here. More common $1.88 or $1.90+ -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:32
Look out below! - DJIA Feb 10, 08:18 23
- We desperately need to stop measuring our economy by the stock market. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:19 22
  - as a metric I think it's pretty good, but it's certainly not the whole picture. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:23 2
    - as a long-term metric perhaps. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:24 1
      - even short-term. if the biggest and most traded companies are tanking, something is probably amiss. - mafic Feb 10, 08:29
  - [deleted] 18
    - I actually take it as an encouraging sign. If Geithner's pissing off Wall Street, he's doing something right. -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:21 17
      - That's predicated on the belief that the stock market's movement is related to Geithner speaking. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:24 11
        
        well, it dropped 130 points just as he started speaking... -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:24 10
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        Okay, you win. - znufrii Feb 10, 08:28 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        the Wall Street guys know they're idiots. Not getting restricted is bad news. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:28 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        but they don't know that he knows he doesn't know... -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:32 2
        
        Now do we call that "Rummy" or "Gin Rummy"? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:34
        
        *head explodes* -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:32
        
        "Buy on the rumor, sell on the news." -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 08:26
        
        oh, so the psychics traded early? - ty97 Feb 10, 08:26
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Well, it *was* Bush, so chances are pretty good that he *was* wrong. -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 08:24
        
        no, he scared them because it was obvious he didn't know what he was talking about. - znufrii Feb 10, 08:24 2
        
        like Obama last night? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:26

current earworm: Paranoid. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:16 2
- Crazy but I've been going back to some old Queensryche so my earworm is Roads to Madness off of The Warning. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 10, 08:19
- (I kinda wish it was Iron Man, but I don't have any other Sabbath) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:16
Complete animated history of the Internet -- (link) - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:14 [youtube] 1
- nice - Dane Duke Nuuk Feb 10, 08:26
lyc: i've had my ingdirect account for exactly 2 years. - prayformojo Feb 10, 08:09 4
- Wow, I hate 2 years last month, I had no idea it had been that long. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:21
- *readies confetti cannon* -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:12
- Will be 4 years for me on Saturday. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 08:10 1
  - I am at 5 years. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:11

CNN is broadcasting (live) the memorial service for Caylee Anthony. As sad as this story is, how does this merit a live broadcast? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:06 36
- People keep watching, adbuyers keep buying, CNN keeps airing. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:14 7
  - I do not know who this person is -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 08:16 6
    - A lot of people do though. This is has been a major ratings story over the past (year?) -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:18 4
      - Better than a war, I guess. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:19
      - meanwhile, the bailout plan is a minor story. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:19 2
        
        I don't know about that. The stimulus has been all over the news. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:27 1
        
        *pummels you with the irony brick* -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:28
    - you're probably better off -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:17
- They haven't had a memorial service for this kid yet? - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:13
- Well, it's not like there's anything important going on right now, like a cabinet secretary making an important policy address -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:11 5
  - exactly. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:12 4
    - *weeps for the future of this country* -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:12 3
      - *weeps for the present of this country* -- nm - TaurusII Feb 10, 08:13 2
        
        *unwraps* -- nm - USA Feb 10, 08:16
        
        *DING* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:16
- Since I have no idea who that is, it probably doesn't. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:07 20
  - toddler who was allegedly murdered by her mother. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:08 19
    - uh-huh... That doesn't really help since that happens all too often. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:09 18
      - Orlando Mom doesn't report 3-year old missing for over 30 days, parties in the meantime, then gets arrested for the murder. - JaxSean Feb 10, 08:18 1
        
        I tend to put stories like that, that SHOULDN'T be national news, on "ignore." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:26
      - Is this the one dropped off an overpass? - Spawn Feb 10, 08:13 15
        
        Nope. Mom claimed Caylee was abducted and resulted in huge man-hunt (it was all over national news). - decline Feb 10, 08:14 1
        
        (while doing online searches of how to make chloroform, FB-messaging friends that she needed to borrow their duct tape, etc.) -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:15
        
        The overpass kid was in Australia, iirc. This was the little girl from FL. -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:14 3
        
        Ahhh... think I recall the girl going missing now. I also recall, at the time, wondering why the story was getting the national attention it was - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:18 1
        
        Because the mom is hot, and Caylee was adorable. - JaxSean Feb 10, 08:23
        
        that one was a bridge, and her father. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:15
        
        no. Girl disappeared, mother did not report her missing for a month. Girls body was found a year later. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:13 8
        
        Nancy Grace has become Lou Dobbsian in her insanity on this particular case. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:14 7
        
        so she scaled it back a couple notches? -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:16
        
        How so? -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:14 5
        
        Completely one dimension, frothing at the mouth...basically she's lost her right to be considered a journalist. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:26 4
        
        I stopped watching CNN Headline News about four or five years ago simply because she was on it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:29
        
        Grace has never been a journalist. At best she's a demagogue. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:27
        
        Okay, but what is she saying regarding the case? - kelly Feb 10, 08:26 1
        
        Whatever keeps her getting ratings. I haven't listened to her recently, but every single show she seems to run is about this case. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:29
ST Lunch Poll from B2: And the winner is... - Jammed Uzi Feb 10, 08:06 11
- I ate at one of those in Miami once. Not bad. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 10, 08:15 1
  - Good. Never tried one myself -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 10, 08:17
- ugh, I mean great choice! awesome -- nm - CQ Feb 10, 08:11
- Interestingly, I don't really like Chipotle sauce, just the restaurant -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:09 5
  - can't even remember what chipotle sauce tastes like... well, i guess this is technically chipotle mayo even -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 10, 08:12 2
    - it tastes like chipotles. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:13 1
      - *takes notes* -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 10, 08:14
  - which sauce? the red stuff? -- nm - Epiphany Feb 10, 08:11 1
    - no, like what other restaurants serve, like Subway -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:15
- [deleted] 1
  - sure. -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 10, 08:08
Dear user, when you ask if we've "done something" to your fax lines... - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:04 1
- heh -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 10, 08:06

wow, Rachel Ray is gaining a few pounds. Not horribly, but you can see a difference -- nm - CQ Feb 10, 07:58 12
- She and JSIMPS have joined the Desert of the Hour Club. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:06 11
  - now: mojave. 2-3: gobi. 3-4: sahara. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:10
  - Do they meet in the Sahara? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:10
  - I bet Jessica has not eaten so much as a leaf of lettuce since that story broke - Epiphany Feb 10, 08:09 8
    - The crazy thing is that she has "ballooned" all the way to a size 8. Really?? - Jim Feb 10, 08:21 6
      - I would still do that -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 08:23
      - it's ludicrous. She looks fine. - Callisto Feb 10, 08:23
      - Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 - znufrii Feb 10, 08:22 3
        
        hold up. she was an "old" size 14. Dress sizes were revamped in the 70s. That would be a modern 8 or 10. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:25 1
        
        (which you said in your IM, if I had bothered to read it) -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:25
        
        Exactly my point. I think JLH was a size 8 when her "fat" pictures hit the tabloids. It's crazy stupid. - Jim Feb 10, 08:24
    - You heard about her on stage freak out? I would say that is a result of this. - Spawn Feb 10, 08:11
seriously, if you read only one crazy marketing document this year, let it be this one -- (link) - Reagen Feb 10, 07:57 5
- I have a degree in marketing and that is quite crazy -- nm - ceregon Feb 10, 08:20
- I think the last thing I expected to see in there was the dynamo theory. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:06 3
  - nubby should drop everything to study the pepsino particle. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:09 2
    - I've identified six flavours for this particle - sweet, tangy, hype, celebrity, pepsuber and dog -- nm - nubby si Feb 10, 08:14 1
      - this is really funny. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:17
LIR earworm: Cold Ground, from my True Blood playlist. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 10, 07:55 5
- Australia by Adam Buxton -- (link) - LMS Feb 10, 08:17 [youtube]
- I was so happy when they played a Vallejo song at the end of episode 2!! whoot -- nm - Epiphany Feb 10, 08:10 1
  - That one is on my list, too. ;^) -- nm - TaurusII Feb 10, 08:11
- Brian Wilson - Morning Sun -- nm - Callisto Feb 10, 08:00
- Bobby Darin, "Caravan." -- nm - mara Feb 10, 07:57
Amazon Indians accused of cannibalizing farmer -- (link) - Dane Duke Nuuk Feb 10, 07:55 7
- The women speak a completely different language from the men. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 07:57 6
  - how's that unusual? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 07:58 5
    - I wouldn't call it "usual". -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:01 4
      - *whacks your irony meter a few times* -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:01 3
        
        maybe that's the joke. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:05 2
        
        we're in a complicated double bluff. Perhaps best for all parties to call truce and withdraw. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:06 1
        
        that would be easier if you were both speaking the same language -- nm - Roger More Feb 10, 08:09
*twitch* - znufrii Feb 10, 07:54
*raids B2* -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 07:54 1
- *surrenders the peanut butter* -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 07:55
