Week in Review

It's just like the last week or the week before except:-

Christmas is ten days away, have you got all your presents ready? I don't think Wii can be found anywhere unless you consider the ripoffs at eBay. Even the handheld DS Lite is out of stock now. So as much as I would like to poison my kids with electronic toys, I think I will fail miserably this Christmas. No, I won't buy a PS3.

The Dow is edging up as it "should be" in year end. I think it's reasonable and customary for the Dow to run up in year end.

After 3 years and some $7 millions, in a 832-page report, the British police concluded the death of Princess Diana was indeed accident. I am not sure if that's time or money well spent.

Latest job data: Yoko Ono's driver is paid a salary of $150,000 to $200,000. Ms. Ono's driver of ten years demanded $2 million or he would kill Ms. Ono and her son and himself. And he had the balls to tell that to Ono's lawyer. The 50 year old was arrested.

UPDATE:
Again, thanks to global warming, this week's weather has been balmy.

Eric and Sid: read and download whatever you want, knock yourself out...
Operation Paget (this link talks about the operation, 9 page pdf, not the findings of the operation) produced a 832-page inquisition on Diana's death (ok, her lover and her driver, a total of three). The Iraq Study Group Report, on the contrary, is only 84 pages. I think there were almost 3,000 American servicemen deaths in the war against terror in Iraq. The Iraq Study Group Report headed by James Baker can be downloaded here, free.
