I updated the Spamassassin from 3.0.4 to 3.1.3 on our mail server. Hopefully, the update will be more efficient and catch more spam. Lately, the amount of spam being let through has been going up again.
Henry Paulson’s conflict of interest. By Daniel Gross
Henry Paulson’s conflict of interest. By Daniel Gross
I love the last paragraph. GW, thank you for our modern day plutocracy.
What’s the worst thing that could happen if Paulson held on to his Goldman stock? It’s possible that a government in which the treasury secretary had a gigantic stake in Goldman might recklessly cut marginal income taxes on the very rich so that he and his fellow executives could keep more of their bonuses. Or he might push to cut income taxes on capital gains and dividends so that Goldman employees and clients would pay fewer taxes. He could help enact legislation to reduce and ultimately eliminate the estate tax so Goldman’s private banking clients would be able to pass on as much cash to their heirs as they want. Why, such an administration might run up massive deficits so that the bond desks of Wall Street firms like Goldman would have plenty of material to buy and sell! Oh, wait—the Bush administration has already done all that.

Remove the perfume/cologne sample ads from Fortune!!!!
I don’t care how many metrosexuals read Fortune magazine. Please remove the frakking perfume/cologne sample ads. I find the scent strips highly distracting when I’m trying to read a story. My wife has the subscriptions to Vogue and W – I don’t need the Giorgio Armani Parfum ads in my magazines!

We’ve had text ripped off our company website, but the ripping off of icons is a lot funnier and easier to see. Creative bankruptcy…

THE ZANFEL POISON OAK ECONOMY
What would I pay to cure a case of poison oak? It depends:
a) Rash on one arm: $100

c) Rash on chest: $300
d) Rash on back: $425
e) Rash on balls: $1,100
f) Rash on face: $1,103
g) Severe rash on face: $2,500
h) Severe rash on balls: $3,950
i) Severe rash on balls while traveling on business: $8,800
j) Severe rash on balls and getting married in 5 days: $36,500Forutnately I only had case (i). I paid Long’s Drugs (Marina, CA) $36.99 for a tube of Zanfel, which completely arrested the problem in two washings. I had never heard of this product before and was initially staggered by the price. I am SO GLAD I chose not to be cheap this one time ! After using Zanfel I had no itching, oozing, spreading – nothing except a lot of dry skin, and my private parts left intact looking forward to better days. I’ll have to wait a week for the dry skin to heal but this is NO BIG DEAL after a week of torture.

All these different castes sound like different types of characters from a RTS game.

ClayNation: Pat Robertson’s magical protein shake
ClayNation: Pat Robertson’s magical protein shake – CBS SportsLine.com
It’s rare the ClayNation Guarantee makes an appearance, but here, it is justified. There is no way Robertson leg presses 2,000 pounds. Period. If he can, I will box a round against Andrew Golota without wearing a jockstrap.
The Andrew Golota line made me laugh. For anyone whoever saw the fight where Golota pummeled Riddick Bowe in the cojones multiple times, this brings up one of the lowest, yet funniest moments in sports history.

Apple – Trailers – Ghost Rider
What I love about all these superhero movies coming to the big screen is that the special effects are good enough now that the movie isn’t a stinking pile of cheese. Maybe I can get my wife to see this one since she’s a Nicholas Cage fan.
