- While I didn't watch the Republican convention last night, I did catch a few clips of Fred Thompson (not pictured) on Youtube. It's not that he did great or not so great, it was just so... I don't know. Tired. Who the heck cares? All of this is just a sideshow before election season anyways.
- Well, VP pick Sarah Palin's speech tonight holds some interest after all the media and blog attacks on her and her family the past few days. Wow.
- Anyways, the market's reversal yesterday was pretty ugly. Today was less ugly, but still not pretty. Behind the scenes, the US dollar has been rallying and oil has been falling. The 2nd quarter GDP was revised up from 1.9% to 3.3% in last week's news cycle. So things are actually looking a lot better under the covers. But we probably won't see too much of this sort of thing in the news headlines. Just be aware that it is happening.
- Looks like the New York Giants are giving 4 points to the Washington Redskins in Thursday night's NFL opener. It's in New York. I guess the logical choice is the Giants. But everyone is so down on the Redskins that I'm leaning the other way and predict a close game. I would take the 4 points.
- Oh, the pic is of Sora Aoi. Ahem. She's on some video game cover, so I did a Google search. Turns out that she's a Japanese adult actress. Ooh lah lah.
