My serious investment days are behind me. At this stage of my life, that's a good thing.

OK Congress, you finished the debt ceiling issue (in a terribly depressing fashion). Now, shut up, start acting like adults and get something done on jobs. I have one, but too many Americans still don't. Stop screwing around.

Stone these parasites in the town square. They have given up their claim to humanity.

Totally blows, but we can't say we didn't see it coming. I have a friend comment it reminded her of Janis Joplin.

I was introduced to her music about three years ago. Her death is a human tragedy.

July 12: This scandal is simply amazing. As a journalist, I'm absolutely appalled by the actions of those publications, but what seriously puzzles me is how has she kept her job? Does she have dirt on the Murdoch family or something?

July 17: Well, so much for that. wink Rebekah Brooks resigned on Friday, and early this morning she was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to...

I dunno, but Rupert is looking really old these days. And yea, scandalous as it may be, does any of it really surprise you?

Too bad it took so long for Murdoch to get his comeuppance. At 80 years of age, These scandals aren't going to impact on him too much.

Vancouver played poorly yesterday. It was painful to watch at times.

Just goes to show how people can get caught up in the fantasy and fanaticism of rooting for a sports team. If Cubs fans acted this way, the city of Chicago wouldn't exist.

Yeah, he needs to go. Now. I'm not a New Yorker, so I'm not from his district, but it's well past time he resigned. I don't want to hear that this Republican didn't resign, or that Republican didn't resign... this isn't about them. This is about Rep. Weiner and his issues. Resign, get some help, work on rebuilding your reputation and family... run again in...

Meh. Politically he's awesome. Watch some of his videos on Youtube. The man is a giant pain in the Republican's ass.
wsoxfan:
Too bad all of his dirty laundry is out there. When you break it down, everything he's done is virtual and total fantasy. Yes, he's foolish, but hasn't this been completely blown out of proportion?

I know we're in baseball season, and the NBA and Stanley Cup finals are just beginning... not to mention the NFL lockout. But, this little tidbit about Plaxico Burress sent shivers down my spine. As a Giants fan, if he ends up with the Eagles... I will go ballistic! Ugh.

You know Rex Ryan has already paid him a few conjugal visits.

I didn't realize he was out of jail. Be grateful you're not a Broncos fan. We have the Tebros.

I'm looking for some advice: How important is it to have a Twitter page for professional reasons? And, just how valuable is LinkedIn and Facebook? (I already have pages on both, but I'm not really up there too often). Basically, I'm wondering how much I should use them and whether they're worth it? Thanks.

A Twitter account would be great to announce stuff for your business. Like, "Today, we are having a sale on tuna." But if you wanted one as a doctor or lawyer, I would advise against it. I would say the same about Facebook. It is good to get news out about your business and advertise.

LinkedIn, I think, is way better way to network professionally, as all your connections are of the professional variety.
wsoxfan:
I'm sure all of those sites are great. I'm reluctant to get involved because I spend too much time online already, especially on FetLife. I'm constantly trying to connect with people and explore potential relationships.
