Chris Matthews, doing all he can to help Obama get re-elected..

The lie interesting point begins around the :45 mark:

 

 

Pick a bird..

You know what is scarier than a teacher at your school being caught with the date-rape drug?

A teacher at your school getting caught with 50,000 doses of the date-rape drug.

Police arrested a high school math teacher last week for allegedly possessing $250,000 of GHB in his home, a narcotic commonly referred to as the "date rape" drug.

Police said they investigated Michel Vincent, 37, for a few weeks before they arrested him on Oct. 12.

Police said they found 55 litres of the drug in his home, an amount that represented about 50,000 doses.

The piece says he is a math teacher, I'm thinking he might know some chemistry as well.

 

I'mma let you finish, but...

This can do nothing but help Romney..

The more voters see footage like this of Romney, the better he will do with the Average Voter:

 

Romney comes off as funny, self-depricating, and affable.  He also was able to nail Obama with a few sharp barbs, without coming off like a jerk.

Great night for Romney.

Win-win for the WAMK portfolio..

I have been a long-time owner of Coca Cola stock.  I buy a few shares (or fractions of shares) through their DRIP program, automatically reinvest the dividends to purchase additional shares (or fractions of shares), and will leave a nice little gift for the little Duper when I pass on.  This past Summer, Coke indicated that they would do a two-for-one split, bringing the per-share price back down under $40, making it "feel" better when I make my random purchases (generally in $50 increments).  Something psychologically better in buying a full share, versus a fractional one.

Anyway, Coke announces today that they will repurchase up to 500 million shares, helping the shareholders receive even more bang for their buck in the coming months. 

They've doubled my share amount, and will now remove half a billion shares from the Market, a move that will certainly drive share prices up.  As I said in the title of this post, win-win.

The cost of buying back those shares?  Just under $19 billion, at yesterday's close.  Incredible that Coke was that flush with cash.  How do they compare to Pepsi?  Good question:

Coca-Cola has risen 48 percent since Chief Executive OfficerMuhtar Kent took over in July 2008, compared with an 9.9 percent gain for rival PepsiCo Inc. (PEP) Kent has pledged to reach $200 billion in revenue for the company and its bottlers globally by 2020, double the sales generated in 2010.

“This company is in a good spot -- they don’t know what to do with all their cash except to give it back to shareholders,” Jack Russo, an analyst with Edward Jones & Co. in St. Louis, said in a telephone interview. “They’ve been active share repuchasers for a long time.”

Coca-Cola rose 0.3 percent to $37.84 at the close in New York. The shares have gained 8.2 percent this year.

Directors also declared a quarterly dividend of 25.5 cents, payable Dec. 17 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 30. The company completed a 2-for-1 share split in August.

So for all you Coke drinkers out there, please continue to drink up!  My bottom line thanks you.

 

Riddle me this, Batman..

So I've been adding a few new items to the wardrobe for my new job (starting November 1st, thank you very much), and I've noticed something at the various stores where I have been shopping.  All the "slim fit" options for men these days.  Suits, suit separates, dress shirts; the selections are skewed more towards the "slim fit" look.  I get the whole "metrosexual" thing hasn't died yet, but why are so many designers jumping on this bandwagon?  Can it be that the majority of guys wearing suits, jackets, and dress shirts are of the "slim fit" type"?

I can't seem to get my head around that, since everywhere you look, we are told that Americans continue to get fatter and fatter?

So are the fat folks ones that don't have to wear suits, jackets, and dress shirts?

When you compare the two administrations, at similar points in ther terms, you quickly see there is no comparison:
