You know sometimes our government baffles us all. The truth is most of time it does. In a country where many are in debt beyond what they can ever repay, this golden nugget wisdom surfaces.  “The government has introduced a pair of new programs that will provide $800 billion to help unfreeze the market for consumer debt, which Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson calls vital to supporting the economy.
Paulson says key markets for consumer debt such as credit cards, auto loans and student loans essentially came to a halt in October. He says the new programs are aimed to get lending back to more normal levels. Exactly what is normal lending. Is It Time To Refinance Your Home Mortgage
Paulson says all the government programs have been aimed at supporting the lending that is vital to the economy.”
So this is not misunderstood, we are in debt, as individuals and as a country so we borrow more money and get in more debt?  First off how many have credit scores worthy of obtaining a loan in the first place? Is this not another band aid fix?  It sure seems so  to this observer.

Tiger Woods and General Motors have ended their affiliation a year ahead of their agreement. General Motors in a veiled attempt to look like they are doing something about their financial plight also announced, that CEO Rick Wagoner wont be taking a private jet to Washington to plead with the government for bailout money. What a complete crock. Tiger Woods isn’t going to miss the money can we agree to that? Take a look at what Tiger Woods UDA memorabilia sell for

I have a better idea, lets fire Wagoner. He is a proven failure at running an auto conglomerate. He makes millions every year to be a failure. How many of us could get away with that at our jobs?

Here we go again and again. The CitGroup bailout is all but approved and another irresponsible private company is getting relief form the government. So the question I have is when does this stop. The big three automakers are going to get some type of bailout, and now the Citigroup bailout.

Citigroup is in this mess for making risky loans and securities backed by commercial and residential mortgages. I had a mortgage foreclosed on last Tuesday, Florida Bank Foreclosures happen everyday and people need foreclosure help , where were you then Uncle Sam?  It is a very simple principle, you cannot continue to borrow money after borrowing money, at some point someone needs to be paid. Unless of course you a big business. Consumers must face the consequences of unpaid bills, bi business just ask for a handout. What is wrong with this picture?

The fix for this thing has to be to let it break and not prop it up with Citgroup bailout or a big three bailout. Otherwise big companies just keep doing what they have always done.

Unemployment hit a 4-year high at 6.5 % in October, most experts are calling for a jobless rate of 8 % in the coming months. What that means is many Americans are going to be changing careers and obviously employers. So what career field in the most likely to fill that need? Career Explorer list the ten hottest careers for 2009. 7 of those are in the medical field. Which Medical careers are in demand? Just about any type of support staff, from medical assistants, to medical records personnel, and everything in between. is in demand. Why?

People get sick in any economy and the health care industry is always open for individuals that are dedicated and are willing to be trained. Oddly Network Systems and Data Communications Analysts are listed as the number one available position followed closely by Physicians assistants. The fact is many people will be forced to choose a new career. Think about auto workers. Where will they go?

Hulk Hogan aka Terry Bollea will give Linda Bollea 40 K a month on alimony according to an agreement reached in a Florida Divorce court today In the meantime, Linda Bollea gets the use of the house on Willadel Drive and Terry Bollea ( Hulk Hogan ) gets to use the couple’s house on Eldorado Avenue in Clearwater . The agreement actually saved the Hulkster 3.4 million on not having to secure a Las Vegas condo for his wife.

Seems now the fight will continue over how much money the couple actually have, In the second day of divorce proceedings, a forensic accountant for Linda Bollea started ticking off the money that Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, has in his accounts. Its plenty and Linda Bollea gets to keep lots of it. Hulk Hogan I hope you have been taking your vitamins

I am just as intrigues by Criss Angel as most of you are. I know its illusions and I know it is not real, but how can you not be amazed at some of the illusions and stunts he pulls off. Well Wednesday evening I have a chance to see it live and up close. I reside less than 10 minutes where his escape stunt will take place. Las Vegas-based illusionist Criss Angel will perform his “biggest and baddest” escape Wednesday night on Clearwater Beach when he attempts to un-cuff himself from the sixth floor of the Spyglass Resort. I will probably be able to feel the implosion as it happens. Criss Angel will make his way through a series of unlocked doors and then get to the roof where a helicopter will fly him into the night. Just before the nine-story building implodes. The event will be broadcast live on the A&E channel. I am not sure this will be one of his more spectacular stunts although he doesn’t feel that way. Unlocking himself form the shackles will be accomplished before his would be jailers get out of the building themselves. I suppose there is real danger of missing the helicopter rope or slipping with his grip. Perhaps the premature detonation of the 500 sticks of dynamite may be an issue. Still I will either be there be watching on TV

Bennigans was founded in 1976. The restaurant has locations in 32 states. There was day when Bennigans was the place to go , the place to be. In fact there was d ay when Bennigans was one of my own best customers in my family owned hospitality equipment service agency. The truth is I probably wouldn’t have given this news a second thought if it wasn’t for that fact.
Living in the sunshine state of Florida I recently visited a Bennigans for dinner and my how the times have changed. The food, the service and the ambiance were horrible. Large restaurant chains are very trendy and change with the culture, that is the ones that want to be successful. Bennigans fell off the map years ago and never really jumped back on, So long Bennigans. Company stores will close today.

Well I guess there is another search engine to add to the mix. Cuil.com pronounced cool is debuting today so I thought I would give it a try, Maybe first day jitters but I say Cuil.com  isn’t so cool. The black search page is hard on the eyes and the results kind of suck , but maybe they are working out the bugs. Example Squoze.net wasn’t in there. How can that be? If it reportedly searches more pages that anyone, including the Big G?  Cuil.com hasn’t exactly won me over just yet. Google is still the Mac Daddy of the search engines, like them or hate them, Cuil.com is back burner for now

Manly Man Candles is the news today. Their target audience for sweet smelling candles is men. That is not your typical market for scented  candles. However the company has some unique scents for their candles and wow , this could work .

Just think of the possibilities. Char grilled Filet Mignon, Baseball gloves, it is limitless for what Manly Man candles can produce.

50 Cent apparently is outraged at the recent Taco Bell advertisements. 50 Cent is so upset he filed a 4 million dollar law suit against the fast food chain.. A copy of the complaint can be seen here.  Apparently Taco Bell Had contacted 50 Cent to include him in the campaign. How ridiculous is this lawsuit. Curtis Jackson , his real name filed the law suit. This is America where lawsuits are a daily occurrence. Now for the sad part , rather than spend in excess of the 4 million dollar claim Taco bell will get in touch with the 50 Cent people , have lunch over  a Chalupa and settle this thing before it ever gets to court. Only In America folks.
