The disillusionment of the Press

I have put the link below to a great article I just read. I found it on Joe Scarborough's website (go ahead and crucify me Senator) and it talks about the difference between the perceptions of people in the media vs. the regular person on the street. Maybe this is why I get so pissed off when I read certain articles that are supposed to be "unbiased". Check it out here: link

In others news, I got my stitches out today. The scar on my ankle is really ugly, but hopefully it will get better with time. Cheryl and I painted the ceilings in the living room/kitchen this weekend. Has anyone had the priviledge of painting a 14' popcorn ceiling with a roller? I can't think of anything closer to the fires of hell than that experience. Trust me when I say it blows. If everything goes as planned, we should be done with all our painting by Sunday.

And now for a little "I told you so". Did any of you listen to me when I said that oil was way too high at $57 a barrel 2 months ago? (go to archives and read "My Apologies" from March 16th if you don't believe me) How could you miss such an opportunity? Don't worry, I am poor like you are and didn't have the money to short oil futures either. At $48 a barrel now, that would have been a nice 16% profit in 2 months....not bad. The next victim? That one's easy...the housing market. Check back in two years.
