Mid Week Chop Suey

After winning eight gold medals in the Beijing Olympics, there seems like nothing that Golden Boy Michael Phleps can't do.  He appears in Oprah, ringing the opening bell in the NYSE (though not exactly), to guest host SNL this Saturday.  The guy can't do no wrong.

Governor Sarah Palin has been providing never ending intrigues to the press ever since she was picked as a running mate of Senator McCaine.  Nobody really knows her, not that well, and shockinlgy, neither does McCain.  It was first rumored that her youngest kid was not even hers but the son of her unwed daughter ( and the New York Times went in great lenghth ... not to appear tabloid-like, to feature her secretive pregnancy, how she concealed the pregnancy with scarf and accesories, how the water broke, the whole nine yards.)  The family then issued a statement saying that their teenage daughter is five-month pregnant, keeping the baby and to wed the father of the unborn, though no wedding date was given.  The family was under the media spotlight.  Palin is known to be anti abortion, pro life.  Even Cindy McCain isn't so sure about Palin's strong opposition to abortion which includes victims of rape and incest.  Women's reproductive rights is once again politicized.  Anyhow, it's said that the only reason why McCain picked Governor Palin was precisely because of her conservative leaning on family values and pro-life stance.  Of course, left leaning liberals are quick to point out and argue that her abstinance preaching and no sex education in school somehow fail in her own family...  Once Palin is on the ticket, the McCain campaign ceases to attack Obama's lack of executive experience.  McCain basically retreats and let Palin dictates the tone of his own campaign, and all of a sudden, the Republican presidential campaign is about Change as well.  It's pretty shocking.  The latest Palin fodder is how she claimed reimbursement working from home.  We still haven't heard from Palin directly, answering impromptu questions from the press.  The campaign seems to be preping her and bringing her up to speed.  We just have to wait.

The biggest news from Apple is Steven Jobs is still alive, forget about the iPod, they are just glorified mp3 players.  Wall Street doesn't react well with the product upgrade, too incremental or whatever, the stock shredded $4 during Jobs presentation.  No upgrade for Apple's notebooks whatsoever.

Lehman Brothers might go under and the Fed may not be helping this time around.

  2. I suggest that you delete WP2007's comment right away, LAICHUNGLEUNG. I've had enough of his uncalled-for and unwarranted complaints and he doesn't even deserve to have the freedom of speech here, or anywhere for that matter.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
