School district bans holiday decorations. My friend Mike says:
"In further news, Yonkers children are only allowed to sing the song Here Comes Santa Claus with the new abridged title Here Comes a Calorically Challenged Person with a Broad Sense of Excitement over the General Holiday Season. It doesnt have the same rhythm and none of the lines rhyme, but thankfully no one is offended anymore. Apparently school officials are also looking into making the Easter holiday less controversial by not allowing children to draw or mention rabbits or bunnies, and instead reviving the Whatzit creature from the 1996 Olympics, which is vague and confusing enough that no one could possibly be offended."

Um, where is the crime here? I'm absolutely sure that all of those individual investors, daytraders, pension funds, and mutual funds all made money during the boom too. Stock picking chimps were making money. The market economy's rule is buy low and sell high. No one in 1999 was willing to predict that it was all going to crash, so stop whining about it. This is different from people like Enron, or WCOM, or Tyco, or Adelphia who LIED to shareholders and cashed out anyways. EXDS didn't lie to shareholders. ATHM didn't lie to shareholders. ``The fact that they left huge amounts of money on the table does not suggest they knew something was coming,'' Crystal said. This guy obviously has some brains. Had I known what was coming, I would've sold every share I owned in everything I owned and retired to an apple orchard in northern Michigan. But obviously, I didn't.

Too much fiber in Oregon's diet |

In typical CNN fashion, there is absolutely nothing here more than an inverted triangle set of paragraphs that any PR 101 student could've put together, but what struck me as funny is Reed Hundts comment. Dude, if you knew that it was such a 'spectacular risk' why did you keep encouraging the upbuild? I'm really getting tired of people revising their own history so they don't look like they believed the hype in 1998. Cowards. Too much fiber in Oregon's diet |
