Thievin' from the Fam

Much to my surprise, my dear old mother today let the whole family know that there is another blogger amongst us. It turns out that my cousin Liz has a Yahoo TV blog where she obsesses over the Biggest Loser like I obsess over, well, anything that is on my mind.

As it has become my habit of late to blatently rip off other works of genius and post them on this very blog with less than witty comments, I see no need to exclude family. So please do be enjoying Mr. Liz' workout with trainer Bob.

Damn it feels good...

Most of my family and friends have no idea what I do for work. It's been widely speculated by family members that I either:

1. Work with a covert government agency
2. Fix computers at Best Buy

Unfortunately, my life just isn't as exciting as carrying a gun or wearing the much desired blue polo with khakis. Instead, I'm a consultant. I could go into details, but this video pretty much has it covered:


Please note - the bankers in that video are the douches that helped get us in this housing bust/credit crunch/insolvent banking situation. We, the consultants, are the good guys.

Props to Donner for sending along the link.

Holmes out.

Thank you Freddie Mac, but you've done enough

So the last thing I want to do on this blog is get political or start talking about money. I mean, that's about as exciting as seeing me bend over to pick up a towel in the locker room, although not as disturbing.

That being said, I did want to write a bit about the clusterf*@k that is our economy, specifically the housing situation. I'll not get into details, but I figure I should get this little blurb out:

Freddie Mac - STOP ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO MISS MORTGAGE PAYMENTS!

Now, they may not come right out and say it, but denying a potential refinancer with the feedback being "if the mortgagor becomes delinquent, they should reapply" sends a pretty clear message - commit fraud and we'll help you. Apparently being irresponsible in lending up to this point has not taught them a lesson, so why not keep doing it. Needless to say, some crack downs are needed at the highest levels, as well as some jail time.

And with that I'll step off my soap box. I'll try for a little more entertainment value next time...

DOOK SUCKS

Being that last weekend was the beginning of the ACC basketball season, I thought it was prudent to remind everyone of a universal fact:

DOOK SUCKS!

I could go on a 2 page diatribe comparing dookies to three dollar prostitutes with STDs and less than 4 limbs, but it's not worth my effort. Instead, enjoy this classic video (Careful - not safe for work!):
