yo. i just have one question: why did mccain keep sticking his tongue out? it was creepy.

if you didn’t check the comments on yesterday’s post — you should. i posted links to the remix EP for “Paper Planes” that has 5 or 6 versions of the song– I believe it’s the Homeland Security EP. i also posted a link to an everything M.I.A. site that has all of her other albums, including the Piracy Funds Terrorism mixtape she did with Diplo– it has an ill track called POP - check it out!

Today’s song of the day is “Everything is Borrowed,” by The Streets. The song is cool and catchy, nothing spectacular — but the video is powerful and timely (at least that is my opinion). I plan to give the album a listen today - check the comments section for links.

A couple of quick points:

check out the b-week article on H-1B Visa Fraud (13% WOW)

the new x-prize is $10MM to the person who can solve the healthcare problem. word. that’s so much cooler than space.

All told, the potential cost to the government of the latest bailout package comes to $2.25 trillion, triple the size of the original $700 billion rescue package, which centered on buying distressed assets from banks. The latest show of government firepower is an abrupt about-face for Paulson, who just days earlier was discouraging the idea of capital injections for banks.

and you know it’s bad when southwest airlines posts its first loss in 17 years…

even Jim Cramer is telling people to take 20% of their money out of the market for the next five years…

also, check out the Microsoft Small Business Summit live online — today’s the last day –it’s kinda like the home shopping network with some valid content… i was just watching two women discussing angel investors — they described them as ’sugar daddies.’ hahahaha
