Tuesday Misc

* The market? You know, if the markets are holding up this well despite the bad news and anticipation of weak earnings coming up, how will they react to any good news during earnings season? Just a thought.

* Harriet Miers? Now, that one came from left field. I have no idea.

* Sex treatment for back pain?

* I think Cold Case is a good show. I think the genre-think distinguishes it from other whodunnits. It's cool when they go back in time to relive a crime, and see folks how they are now vs. then.

* I keep expecting some sort of pullback in the market, but we've been stuck in a trading range. The negative nellies are forecasting recessions and bear markets, bad corporate news from hurricanes and energy prices, and tapped out consumers from high energy prices. Yet, the market remains a few percentage ticks from the bull market highs.

* Most will be fat over the long term. Even folks who are trim in middle age, tend to pick up weight.

* So, Bill Bennett (or William Bennett) made a comment that didn't play out too well, huh? You know, it was a strange comment. Why blacks? Lets face it, it's a socioeconomic issue, not a race issue. Poor folks probably commit more crimes than middle class or rich folks. What does race have to do with it?

* Nicolas Cage named his kid after Superman, Kal-el. Story here. Kind of funny, I think. Gone are the days of simple names, eh?

* I started watching Grey's Anatomy, but I have a hard time following shows after 10pm.

* I have noticed a few adjustments consumers are making to higher energy prices. I've noticed the freeways are a little less busy on the weekends. I've noticed that Indian casinos are less crowded. I've noticed that the wait times at restaurants on friday and saturday has fallen about 20-25 minutes.

* Nipsey Russell died. I just remember him from game shows, and his rhymes.

* I'm watching Trump's Apprentice. Not watching Martha's Apprentice. Also watching Tyra Bank's America's Next Top Model and The Amazing Race. In the reality show genre, anyways. I'm so tired of CSI. I do like Without a Trace, though.
