This will be a long summer. 

Steam has admitted Portal 2 will be available this "holiday season".  Other sites suggest October but the simple fact that this game's existence is confirmed make me glad to still be alive. 

If you have yet to play Portal, you are doing yourself a disservice. 

This is Megyn Kelly.  She's an anchor on Fox News during their "objective news programming from 9am to 4pm and 6pm to 8pm".  The Daily Show with Jon Stewart took a look at her "style" of "news" compared to their, I guess, non-objective news programming.  It's hard to tell the difference.  ...because there isn't any. 

What I can tell is that this woman only draws a salary because she can read from cue cards and she's an "attractive" blond.  I put quotes around that because she probably would only be attractive if she was restricted from talking.  Unfortunately, she does for two hours each day and it's like being in the cow barn at the county fair and your eyes move to a raising tail a few hours after feeding time.

I enjoy Bill Maher.  When he adds his humor to his views on the world, like in his show Real Time with Bill Maher, I can't help but be engrossed.  I look forward to seeing who he adds to his panel and how they tear apart the absurdities of the day with, what I find to be, genuine common sense.  Plus it's fun to see who will and won't take advantage of HBO's lack of censors! 

I also enjoyed his film Religoulus.  Sometime I need to pick up some of his writings but I think his mind works similar enough to mine that I can agree with pretty much whatever he has to say about something.  Anyway, it's good to see his show is on again...now I just need to get HBO...

I know I've talked about this before since I already have clip art for this topic but I find it really damn irritating to get these credit card applications in the mail these days.  It seems I'm ripping up 1 or 2 of these things a day.  They all say I can have a great variable interest rate of 18.99% or higher.  Some of these things come from companies whose cards I've already closed because they said they were going to jack my low fixed rate cards up to 20-some-percent. 

Again, I've already talked about this stuff but I've also noticed that all these applications are coming from banks who got "bailed out" because they're "too big to fail" and stuff last year.  So, we bail them out so they stay in business and they're supposed to start lending money to the little people again, right?  Did they fail to mention that they'd being bleeding us to death at the same time?  I don't think I heard that. 

Anyway, I've sworn off the damn things.  I have store cards that I use for some of the benefits but the run of the mill Citi, Bank of America, etc. cards have no chance in hell of making me a customer again.  I have also taken a liking to the Move Your Money idea.  Now, thankfully, my beautiful and intelligent wife of mine already knew the benefits of keeping our money in a credit union.  It's been there for the past 7 wonderful years we've been married so I know I didn't help create that "financial crisis" everyone's jabbering about.  What about you though?  Did you help screw up the economy?  Is your money paying for multimillion dollar bonuses for CEOs who wouldn't mind sticking "it" to you for few more bucks? 

Update: Bill Maher talks about this movement and why it's important.
