Interesting, if I were a greyhound, I would be suffering from a “broken hock”. That’s exactly how I’d describe it.
Quotes
I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection.
Warren Buffet (via siminoff)
“January is the quietest month in the garden. … But just because it looks quiet doesn’t mean that nothing
is happening. The soil, open to the sky, absorbs the pure rainfall while microorganisms convert tilled-under
fodder into usable nutrients for the next crop of plants. The feasting earthworms tunnel along, aerating
the soil and preparing it to welcome the seeds and bare roots to come.”

Bests of 2009 #1:
“Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) even suggested ritual suicide for the AIG executives. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) suggested, more humanely, that they should just give the money back … But he added, “Based on their performance, it doesn’t give you a lot of hope.”

I came home this afternoon and checked the machine for a message from UPS but the only message I got was from the company that holds my student loan, Sallie Mae. Sallie Mae sounds like a naive and barefoot hillbilly girl but in fact they are a ruthless and aggressive conglomeration of bullies located in a tall brick building somewhere in Kansas. I picture it to be the tallest building in that state and I have decided they hire their employees straight out of prison. It scares me.

Best Customer Service This Year: J. Crew and T-Mobile. Chatty, courteous, knowledgeable, resolved problems.
Worst Customer Service This Year (probably ever): SallieMae Corporation and Verizon Wireless. You must navigate 10+ minutes of voice-prompt menus, get disconnected if you press the wrong button (“Good-bye!”) and never speak to someone who understands more than 1/3 of your question.
