Yo' Mama so big the Federal Government couldn't let her fail.

The Day the Market Died

If you're anything like me you need several of hours of someone like Matt talking in order to understand things. As Matt is currently otherwise occupied I thought I would share today's alternate source for information on the whole Bail Out/Market Crisis thing.

NPR's This American Life has put together an excellent show explaining how the banks got into the mess they are in, how their epic failure affects everyday people who don't have any money invested in the market, and how the bail out might or might not help. Oh also they managed to do all that without making it sound utterly boring or incomprehensible.

So pull up a chair and crowd the family around the computer or you know join the 21st century and download it to your personal MP3 player of choice. Listen HERE.

Oh,The places you'll go!

Check it out. These are the countries I have visited (Germany was a layover but I'm counting it!). There's a website that lets you create this map by checking off the countries you have been in. I created my map and took a look. My first thought was "Hey I've never been to Alaska!" then I remembered that it's part of the United States.

....Meanwhile.....Somewhere in Missouri a little bit of Sarah Palin dies...

The same site let's you create a similar "Place's I've Been" map for the United States. I wish that blue was an option. I don't like seeing that much red on a map of the US; it's unsettling.
