End of Frakkin' Week Randomosity

  • Job stress! WOOOOOOO. But Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader Alyson is today's stress reliever.
  • Bernanke says inflation outlook "uncertain."  Anybody else get the feeling that Ben really sucks?
  • Obama to wait to announce Vice President pick.   If suddenly I'm blogging about being whisked away to Denver, you'll know.  And if you follow me on Twitter, I'll make sure to keep you up on the haps.
  • US rejects Russia's claim of pullout.  "Liars!"  Really, how do you diplomatically say that?  "Mr. President, that's a pant load."
  • Of course, women probably don't fall for that "pullout" line anyways.
  • Due to high fuel prices and such, Americans traveling less this Labor Day.
  • Democrats to showcase "real people" during their convention, including this woman who finds herself $24 million short in the Bush Economy.
  • A third Stargate TV series on the Sci-Fi channel?  Stargate: Universe"Universe" -- which will premiere as a two-hour movie in early 2009 and assume a regular hourly slot in the summer -- introduces a team of explorers who find an ancient unmanned ship called the Destiny. Unable to return to Earth, the crew must fend for themselves aboard the ship, which has a preprogrammed mission taking them to the far reaches of the universe.  
  • I haven't watched any Stargates, except for the original movie.

  • So I copied the stock numbers from Brian.  Nice snapshot.
  • Philadelphia lawsuit contends Obama ineligible for Presidency.  Uh oh, there go my VP dreams!
  • PetroChina gets green light to trade carbon indicators.  How about carbon indicator futures?  ETFs?  Double-beta inverse ETFs?
  • Oooh, an open thread to discuss Obama's VP pick.  And no "muckdog" on that list?  Sheez.
  • OK, I've had enough for one week.  The big question is where I go this weekend.  Reno.  Vegas.  LA.  Denver....  Hmmm....
