Today’s song of the day is, "This Is What We Fought For?" by Lyrics Born. It’s on the LB Variety Show Vol. 3.  If you didn’t know, mixtapes are at an entirely new level — more like albums than mixes.

And can another day go by without news of Warren Buffett?  The word is that the InBev bid for Anheuser Busch (valued at $46B) is going to happen — and Berkshire Hathaway is the second largest shareholder of AB.

This is totally unrelated…but I still don’t understand Twitter.  It just seems silly to me.  But somehow they have an $80 Million valuation.  Here’s to silly things that make money — someone is stoked right now.
