Wells Fargo Buys Wachovia

Oh, didn't see that one coming! I thought I read that Citibank was buying part of Wachovia. Now, it looks like Wells bought them lock, stock, and barrel for $15 billion. Too bad WaMu's leadership couldn't have been better at basic negotiations! They need to never have jobs again, and with their excessive pay packages, they won't need to!

Elvis IS ALIVE!

At least to Dutch airport security officials. You see, a group of hackers passed a RFID-enabled passport through security at an airport, and it passed!

To me, the importance here isn't the poor security at airports; rather, it is a confirmation to all us Elvis fans that he is still alive. And I don't blame him for being in the Netherlands. Get it?

Biden / Palin Debate Strategy

Here's a great story on the strategies Palin will be using to attack Biden (because she has nothing else to go on) and how Biden should react. I hope the Obama campaign reads this. Better yet, forget reading about it and go all Nike about it (Just Do It).

One more thing (I don't have time to go all aggro on this): Why are these things called debates? Nothing like debating goes on in these things. They should be called

De-baits

The only thing the candidates try to do is go fishing for weaknesses and get their opponents on the defensive. And it works.

And why do Conservatives insist that we shouldn't talk about winners and losers in these things? I guess nobody wants to talk about losing, which they will.

Their only "win" will be getting the stupid voters to go to the polls and vote for McAssWipe and Ms. Bates.
