And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My first thought was, "I hope that bunny doesn't smoke while it's really drunk...."

I'm listening to This American Life on the recent market/money issues and it is (seriously) really interesting.

The one one the subprime mortgage fiasco? I just listened to that a few hours ago - it was fascinating....

I look more rad than Lutheranism
For the record, Trader Joe's has a pre-marinated Cabernet pot roast, and it is So. Fucking. Good. A little too much pepper for me, but I've been told that I have a low tolerance for pepper, so it's probably just the right amount for most humans.
So. Fucking. Good.
Open package, place in oven (or a slow cooker if that's how you roll), wait the appropriate amount of time, slice meat (or NOT, because it's so tender), and then chow down like a mammoth-hunting caveman!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, yum. I shall have to try that.

That's not a bunny, that's a tribble.

The Giant Pool of Money, Explained
By far the best explanation I've heard of the Housing Mortage/Credit Crisis is -- improbably -- a podcast from the motherlode of story-telling on NPR, This American Life. This podcast is a bit different from their usual slice-o-life stories in that they try to explain something extremely complex and abstract -- but in personal stories. The episode is called The Giant Pool of Money and it's worth at least an hour of your time on your next commute. Hearing the agents all along the "chain" of events describe what they thinking in their own words is about 100 times better than reading about it.
Actually, this was a joint production of This American Life and NPR News.
