Thursday Randomosity and Britney Spears

  • Fannie Mae $FNM asking for $15.2 billion in federal aid, although that number is expected to grow. Nice.
  • Did you catch American Idol last night?  Whew, what a bunch of crap that was.
  • Octuplets mom Nadya Suleman offered $1 million to do a porn flick.  And the offer does include health insurance for her and her 14 kids.  Now that's the kind of innovative way President Obama needs to tackle health care for the uninsured. 
  • President Obama admits to massive deficits, but says they're headed lower. Uh huh.
  • Yes, I'm embedding the Britney Spears music video, Circus.  I don't know why.  LOL.
  • Sam Farmer's first NFL mock draft.  So you know.  It's never too early to start making that "rookie break out" list for your fantasy football draft.
  • Oil prices up over 6% today.  Don't take the eyes off the energy football.  That's going to be the one that comes back and bites us, as we're no better prepared to deal with our own energy needs. Where are the plans to build more nuclear plants for electricity and for a percentage of our vehicle fleet to run on natural gas? 
  • Sweden is ditching its ban on nuclear energy.  Italy is embarking on new nuclear energy development.
