I Told You So

Banks kinda suck. Too bad I work for one.

Atheists For Christmas

Laura Miller put it best:

Our contemporary, semi-secular Christmas is... a collection of everything yearned for: warmth, plenty, peace, family, conviviality... the holiday is a fantasy, but there are times when a fantasy is exactly what you need.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Thankless Cube

In honor of Cubezoo, I post this collection of Wired's worst office accommodations.

Something's Shocking

I don't consider myself naive. But I saw this and my jaw dropped and I did a literal double take and I had to read it several times before it sank in:

Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois was arrested on Tuesday morning and charged with corruption, including an allegation that he conspired to profit from his authority to appoint President-elect Barack Obama's successor in the United States Senate, prosecutors said.

Really? It's like they aren't even trying to uphold any semblance of propriety any more. Might as well put it up on eBay or Craigslist: "Senate seat for sale. $500,000 or best offer." Another great big "fuck you" from our elected officials.
