Santa Claus Rally Yadda Yadda Yadda

• Santa Claus rally yadda yadda yadda. Ho Hum. 
• Look at the action in AAPL today.  Oh.  My.  Goodness.  The stock gaps lower on the shady stuff, but recovers fully.  Don't be messin' with the Santa Claus rally, Bubba.  Of course, now that my senior citizen coworkers are finaly catching on to the iPod craze, I'm wondering how much life is left in AAPL and if the kids will be switching to smartphones.  Just thinking to myself.  None of that matters right now.
• The only cure for hangovers?  Probably.
• And man keeps drinking beer during arrest for drunk driving.  Sounds dumb and funny, but actually quite sad.  Police say a man they pulled over for driving drunk continued to swig his beer during his arrest. ... Allain allegedly continued to drink a 40-ounce bottle of beer, telling officers, "You can charge me with whatever you want. It's not going to stop me from drinking and driving."
• Mark Cuban on Google + YouTube (Gootube), is it nothing but commercials and fake porn?  He makes a good point.  I get pretty bored with YouTube after a bit, but I still go there searching for stuff at least a few times a week.
• Sheraton is looking for a Chief Beer Officer.  Hat tip to Business Pundit.  Put down that beer and finish answering the questions!  I wonder if the former person who held that job just got picked up for chugging a 40-ouncer while being arrested for DUI?
• Howard (think "Wallstrip") wants to know how to expand the conversation.  I think what's happening on Wallstrip is quality, but I don't find myself clicking there more than once a week.  Not sure why.  I enjoy it when I do.  There's an interesting synergy of information and entertainment ("infotainment") that needs to happen to make Wallstrip a hit. I think you're mighty close if not there.  Maybe the fix is the same as the cure for hangovers?
