July 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Coming back from Ft. Worth, I didn’t have time to make lunch, so I stopped at a 7-11 and picked up some sunflower seedsm and upon reading the back of the package (since I obviously have nothing else to do), I found this gem:

Kmart sells draw string sweatpants with abstinence message

June 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Usury - not just for mobsters anymore!

May 4th, 2008 · No Comments

I believe that there are few industries more evil and malicious towards their customers than credit card companies. And that’s even counting cable companies and cell phone companies. Again, I’m late to the game on this, but something caught my eye so I decided to look up a bit on this practice of universal default.
