Huzzah! Some Guy Catches a Corpse-Eating Mutant Catfish!

After this terrible week, we could all use some cheering up. So I'm posting this picture of this guy and the mutant man-eating catfish that he caught:



It's always a good time when I find a "Weird Fish" story to blog about, so this ends the week on a high note.

Hot Stock Tip, Part II

Like a lot of y'all out there with money in the stock market, I've been scrambling these past few weeks, trying to find a company to invest my money where I can--forget make a profit--just minimize the damage done to my portfolio.

So while doing online research for companies to invest in, I stumbled across an "Investor Information" page for a company called "American Motors Coporation."

Also known as "AMC."

As in the AMC Pacer. As in the AMC Gremlin.

Yes. AMC.

Are you old enough to even remember them?



I am totally NOT JOKING. Seriously, AMC is totally now back in existence again, and they have a website, and that website has an Investor Information page in case you want to put your money into AMC.

And just to prove that I am not lying, you can totally see that Investor Information page HERE.

And I don't even care at this point. I'm watching my stocks go into meltdown faster than a candybar left on the dashboard of a car parked in the parking lot under a hot sun. Oh. And also, that car just happens to be an AMC Gremlin whose rear bumper was just recently tapped by another car, and so the car with the melting candybar on the dashboard therefore is also currently ON FIRE.

THAT'S how fast it's all melting down.

So, yeah. I'm starting to take a SERIOUS look at selling off all my current stocks and dumping all the money into AMC.

Way I figure, can't be much worse!

In Retrospect, "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac" are Pretty Stupid-Sounding Names to Give to Giant Mortgage Institutions

The next time we entrust the nation's economic fate to large financial corporations, let's make sure that those corporations don't sound like they were named after sock-puppets.
