Listen to the boos that rain down on Bush as he throws out the first pitch at the Nationals game the other day. He sure gets off that mound quickly.
Listening to Jon Miller and Joe Morgan call a Bush pitch, I ask you, does it get any better?

Stuff about Paul Krugman
Once again, Paul Krugman gets it right. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/31/opinion/31krugman.html?hp
He is consistently the most thoughtful economist out there. He is always able to boil issues down to what they are without shilling for any political party.

Stuff about Buzz Words
What is McCain talking about? It seems like he's just spouting out buzz words in random order. None of his sentences connect to the next one. According to him, Iran is training Al Qaeda so they can enter Iraq. It's "widely accepted and reported on". Oh wait, that's not what he meant at all. Did he say Al Qaeda? He meant the much vaguer "extremists". Thanks to Joe Lieberman for correcting him on camera.

Stuff about Jim Cramer
Check out what Jim Cramer had to say about Bear Stearns on 3/11 (less than a week before they collapsed)
In all fairness to Cramer, he was talking about pulling money out of Bear Stearns money management services, not out of Bear Stearns common stock, but it is still hilarious. Especially the part where he says, "Bear Stearns is fine!"

Stuff about new NY Governor on The Daily Show
Great video clip from last night's The Daily Show about the new NY Governor, David Patterson:
He is the first black and the first blind governor of NY.

Stuff about Bear Stearns Collapse
Very interesting "behind-the-scenes" look of what happened to Bear Stearns: http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/18/saving-wall-st-for-now/
Don't feel sorry for Bear though, when Long Term Capital Management needed to be bailed out in the late 90s, Bear was one of the banks that turned their backs.
Still, it's amazing that Bear's offices are worth $8/share and yet the whole company (including the offices) only fetched $2/share

Stuff about the Mooserwirt
This is what the apres ski scene at St. Anton is like. People ski down to this bar, party for hours and then ski (or in our case, slide) down the rest of the mountain, drunk and in the dark.
Very good times. More pics to come
