Some random thoughts

Because the election is over, the media does not know what to report on, and are presenting stories that are as artificial as Pam Anderson's breasts.

I noticed that Geico insurance company is still running about 7 or 8 different advertising campaigns during these tough economic times. I can't imagine where Geico gets all the money for all that crappy advertising?

I keep seeing this advertising for something called an IUC (Mirena®) which is just another name for an IUD (female birth control device). IUDs caused a ton of health issues to woman back in the day, and most doctors stopped using them, so why is this technology back in vogue?

At one time we had something that I liked to call "the Wal*Mart effect" wherein a company has enough purchasing power to tell it's suppliers to lower prices and if the suppliers don't comply with the distributor (in this case wal*mart) they will go out of business.

Well now we have what I like to call "the Survivor effect" wherein you ally with everyone (play nice with everyone) until you vote them off the island and/or stab them in the back! (get your co-worker fired, say bad things about a political rival, or generally treat someone badly).

When people conduct themselves during their daily lives as if "The Apprentice, or Survivor" or some other reality TV show is "real" it shows the social skills of those people. It is just not right.

Remember AMC American Motors cars, the Javelin, AMX, Gremlin, and Pacer, wait didn't they make Jeeps also. That's right they did. The government let AMC die and Chrysler ate them and look where the Jeep brand is today!

If the government lets Chrysler die the Jeep and Dodge brands will live on somehow, someway.

Christmas is upon us. Christ some stores were selling Christmas stuff in September, dear lord please help us rise from retail hell!

That is all for now, carry on. If you can.
