Those Stars in Your Eyes Are From Looking At Krispy Kremes

You've probably heard about the free coffee at Starbucks on Election Day, but there's a lot of other swag to be gotten for exercising your franchise tomorrow, despite the efforts of buzzkills.

Included among those companies is Krispy Kreme. So, in addition to making and selling the greatest food product in the history of the universe, it is nice to know that it is also an outstanding corporate citizen.

Mmmmm, donuts.

Enjoy, and good luck.

Some Hockey Moms Are Pissed, Moose Mom

Hockey moms are already exhausted, super-busy, and need a break.

They certainly don't need another mom forcing them to give her a ride without pitching in for gas (so to speak).

And, now, some are letting their feelings be known.

And, no, no pitbull's allowed in the minivan, Sarah.

Fun on the Internets: Paulson Strategies Nigerian?

Would be too funny if it didn't hit so close to home:

Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.

I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.

This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.

Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson

Today's Fun on the Interets: Olympic Fever

If you're missing A2's own Michael Phelps, you can perk up your Olympic interest and your computing life with some pro-Communist Olympic propaganda fun Beijing-themed screensavers and wallpapers. Pretty sure there's no malware, but if you're the careful type, be sure to upgrade the antivirus.

Non Sequitur of the Day: #12

The Lovely Dawna mentioned today how the phrase "Black Friday" has become part of the American vernacular. While it's common that industry terms occasionally work their way into the layperson's vocabulary, the thing that's uniquely American is how we now have an unofficial holiday dedicated to shopping. Yikes. And stand-by for the mother of TV news cliches: the mall stand up telling us how bad the traffic is. Oy.
