Good news in the October
jobs report, including the
lowest unemployment rate in six months, did nothing to deter the Occupy Movement, which I
argued is marching
boldly in no particular direction. Fuel for the movement’s burning trashcan fires
was provided by an independent study that showed 30 of the biggest
American companies paid no income taxes for the last three years.
In the hunt for a red November (2012), I implored my Republican voters to take
a first look at John Huntsman, a very qualified and under-publicized
presidential candidate. Meanwhile, Andrew Sullivan defended President Obama
(aka, “this poor fucker”) against an attack from conservative thinker George
Will. Candidate Rick Perry made a pathetic attempt to defend himself and his poor verbal skills, while the folks at Bad Lip
Reading put words directly into Herman Cain’s mouth in a hilarious
new BLR video.
Perry and Cain had rough weeks, but the biggest loser by far
was Bank of America. The bank ultimately cancelled
their proposed new fee, but I still gave
BOA the finger. Even America’s bank may not be hurting as much as
America’s team (okay, my team), the Indianapolis Colts, but I argued that the Colts
might still snag a win before
NFL season is over.
Finally, we offered a wealth of educational posts this week. Avoid
embarrassing personal revelations by using
the social media flowchart to properly post drunken status updates.
Learn to abuse technology with a video of Siri, the
talking iPhone app, getting high on magic
cookies. Learn to keep your cool under any circumstances like the
Santa Cruz surfer
who was nearly swallowed by breaching
humpback whales (someone catching this on video was unreal). Lastly,
take a look at my in-depth geologic research (not really) and the map showing the
San Andreas Fault less than two miles away (really) from where I sit in
my living room typing this post. Bad luck…or just the way things turn?
As always, thanks for reading!
