Modern Failure

Unfortunately it is late and I am very tired, but I hadn’t given you loyal readers an update in a few days and when I saw this headline on the New York Times website, I figured you deserved one.

A Zealous Watchman to Follow the Money

Now with all the hype and news surrounding it, I assumed that this would be an article about the new film Watchmen. Well, you know what the say about assumptions, if you make them on the internet, everyone will see that you’re a jackass… or something like that.

In reality it’s an article about the new inspector general who is going to police spending of the stimulus money. I guess that’s interesting, but honestly I just wanted to read something about Watchmen.

Oh well, here’s this.

And just for fun, Sam Yoon. Hello!

Not to shock you, but former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich announced today that he signed a “6 figure” book deal, to tell the story of how he selected  a replacement for Barack Obama.
