• It's the kickoff holiday weekend of the summer!  Hanging out with family and friends, picnics, barbeques, a couple of beers...
• The market had a nice day to end the pre-Memorial weekend trading.  We're going to hear about how light the volume was and maybe that the technical damage done by the number of recent distribution days in the market and that the whoosh down thursday are too much to overcome.  But it was a nice day.  Take it.
• My fantasy baseball team really sucks.  I mean, really sucks.  And there's not a darn thing I can do about it.  Say, I wonder if all those corporations flush with cash, buying back stocks and increasing dividends might want to buy signage rights to my fantasy team?
• "It's all fun and games until the market gets shitkicked" - Howard Lindzon.  The CNBC putz’s will be on TV talking about a healthy pullback. Healthy for who?  Well, healthy for Erin Burnett (nude, naked, topless, cheerleader, smoking, panties, topless, spanking, upskirt).  The poor woman has been out there angsting for a new closing high in the SP500 for weeks. 
• Eye doctor says that my reading vision is "down a tick" but not that much, and my contact lens prescription need not change for now.  I struggled with the small print test today.  "Hey Doc, can't I right-click that eye chart and up the font size a bit?"
• Some Frito-Lay products to bear heart claim.  Vegetable oils, salad dressings, crackers and other oil-containing foods made by PepsiCo Inc.'s Frito-Lay unit will now carry claims that products with unsaturated fat can curb the risk of heart disease, U.S. regulators said on Friday.  Man, I wish chips were a health food.  But I'm not believing those labels.
• So, did you watch the LOST finale, yet?  HOW GOOD WAS THAT?
• Demark sell signals from ContraHour.  Are we in for a long summer?
• Rosie O'Donnell (not pictured) is leaving The View early.  Kind of wonder about her self-esteem issues; don't you?  In addition, one of Rosie's staffers was axed for defacing Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  A Rosie O’Donnell staffer was escorted out of the ABC building in New York Thursday after she was caught drawing mustaches on pictures of Rosies’ on-air rival, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the New York Post reports.  Even with a mustache, my bet is that Elisabeth is hotter than Rosie.
• What blogs does Charles E. Kirk read?  Some very good ones there. 
• Hoses being used to coax the whales back to sea.
• Jordan "the wrath of" Khan wonders if thursday's sell-off was a one-day wonder.  We didn't get the reversal on friday (after the strong open) he was lookng for.  But we have seen some one-day wonders before.  That's the play book for now until it changes.
