Obama signed a Financial Regulation Reform Bill‎. This bill is happening because Wall Street collapsed and Obama needs to do something about the collapse. Obama seems to do a lot of things just for the sake of doing things or for the sake of change. While I agree that something must be done I don't see how putting even more mandates on every type of business - that had nothing to do with the Wall Street collapse - and none on the government sponsored businesses.

I’m not an economics major and so the possibility that I know absolutely nothing about how to fix the economy is a bigger possibility than Obama and his staff not knowing how to fix the economy. But this isn’t his blog so who cares what he thinks this is about what I think. Watch ABC News if you want to know what Obama is thinking. Obama is fixing the economy in the wrong direction. This bill could potentially hurt small banks and small businesses that rely on them and cost
consumers and slow down job growth.

I don’t see how creating more regulations and a tighter review of Wall Street will fix unemployment in America. He needs to fix the problems on main street instead of fixing the problems on Wall Street.

The supposed positives of this will be that people who borrow money from the banks will be protected from hidden fees and ridiculous terms that can't be met, but also will have to provide evidence that they can repay their loans. In my experience hidden fees and these ridiculous terms only come into play when you fail to pay your bill on time or you don't read the fine print of the statement to see these "hidden fees" If its in small print it isn't hidden its just SMALL!!! So it is protecting the people that don't pay their bills on time and aren't financially responsible enough to read the fine print to find all those so called hidden charges.

Instead of placing mandates on banks from giving out these ridiculous terms and hidden fees - maybe banks via the government need to do a better job on teaching our citizens financial accountability. Perhaps before anybody can get a bank account they have to take classes on financial responsibility and before you take out a loan you have to take an additional class. If anything this would just create more jobs for people.








Ya know how during a movie preview they will say "This movie will blow your mind!!" or use over the top adjectives like "breathtaking" and "speechless" or some other catch phrase that is way over the top. I can honestly say that all of those over the top catch phrases actually fit this movie perfectly. This movie is so great because it will be on of those movies that you can re-watch over and over again because the movie has so many levels and multiple views will be required order to grasp all the intricate details and to fully understand the multi-layered trips into the dreams and nightmares of the central characters.



I think the movie was perfect in every way and I actually love it that it ended with a cliffhanger. I love being able to speculate on the movie later and never knowing what happened. I don't think that his top ever stopped spinning. I think he was dreaming for the entire movie. His kids didn't look like they ever aged - THEY HAD THE SAME HAIRCUTS!! His reality was so messed up because he had spent so long in a dream and had traveled down to multiple levels his whole sense of reality had been skewered.

Consider this a new feature of my blog that like all the other features of my blog will only really happen when I want them to and with no consistency at all. Consider it a rip off of Stephen Colbert's "Tip of the Hat" and "Wave of the Finger" where he talks about someone or something that irks him and that he feels the need to wave his finger at or something that he wants to give kudos or a tip of his hat.

Instead of a Wave of the Finger I am going to give out a douche bag award which is named after Glenn Beck for being such a douche bag. It's not so much his political views although the guy is as Keith Olberman put it "an uneducated imperceptive panicky whack job" The thing that bugs me the most about Beck is his repeated mantra "This is about the truth" but yet is by far the most opinionated man on the news. Just like Beck this blog is about the truth and the truth is Glenn Beck you are a douche bag.





I used to like Mel Gibson. He is probably the only movie star to ever make us laugh at committing suicide in Lethal Weapon. Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ were epic movies. I can understand getting in a fight and saying mean things that you don't even mean - but this was over the line. I could never imagine saying those type of things to Sheena. I was going to post the video on here but it is so unbelievably offensive I decided against it - after all this is family blog. If this was the first time that Mel has gone off then it might be okay to look the other way but this has happened so many times. Another thing is if Jack Nicholson would of said those things we would of just laughed about it because Jack is a self-proclaimed jerk and doesn't claim to be a born again Christian or an astounding family man. Tom Cruise could probably get away with saying this because we all know he is crazy. But Mel has tried so hard to portray himself as a Christian family man that it makes these rants even more disgusting.

Oksana Grigorieva

Yes, what Mad Max said was pretty terrible, but I have a feeling that the entire time Oksana was recording this rant by Gibson she was thinking to herself "Oh this is wonderful I am going to get so much publicity off of this recording maybe my crappy music/movie career will take off!!" So I don't feel sorry for her at all. Mel and her are going through a child custody battle right now so this is a huge victory for her and this whole thing was probably planned by her to record one of his rants. You gotta be a pretty big douche to record someone when they are yelling at you and then to release it to the public. She knew that Mel has these kind of outbursts and took advantage of it.



Do I really need to explain why Lohan is such a douche and kudos to the judge for sending her to jail hopefully next time it will be for 90 years not days.



The Travies are the second part of the Stephen Colbert "Wave of the Finger - Tip of the Hat" rip off. It would be the Tip of the Hat part of it. I am going to award any person or thing that brings me amusement or is in need of some praising by me.



Chris Webber wins the first ever "Travy" for totally embarrassing Timberwolves General Manager David Kahn. For those non-basketball fans this video is featuring a conversation between Chris Webber and David Kahn. Chris Webber was a pretty good professional basketball player in his day and has turned out to be a pretty TV analyst and was interviewing David Kahn and asked him why he signed Darko Milicic to a 4 year 20 million dollar contract - when Darko has basically been one of the biggest disappointments and jokes in the history of the NBA. When Kahn compares Darko to Webber, Webber goes off on Kahn.
