Before leaving the stage for another of her show's many wardrobe changes, Britney Spears accidentally announces to her giant crowd in Tampa, Florida that her "pu**y is hanging out." Guess somebody forgot to turn off the mic. Then again, we're talking about Britney Spears here - this kind of thing ju...

I follow Mini Beyonce on Twitter, because twitter is my new thing and she never really says anything interesting. She’s touring, has a kid and clearly wishes she was her sister, and here’s a video of her throwing her mic stand at her audience because she’s always going to be in Bey...

Disclaimer: I’m not Catholic, so this is even more speculative than usual. It’s also probably taking “devil’s advocacy” a little too literally, but hey, faith is there to be tested, right? So I wonder how much Catholic Guilt is an economic phenomenon, as opposed to a pu...

The urgency of being way behind a single dominant player can make electronics makers do some odd stuff to promote their products. iPod, once an icon of digital cool, has achieved such ubiquity that it doesn’t even try to be hip any more. The thing is being promoted with American Idol, for cryi...

A recent ABC story quotes the Brotherhood of St Laurence’s recommendations for counting the family home amongst net assets while calculating pension entitlements, with the recommendation that retirees who have valuable homes take out a reverse mortgage, eg, rather than getting a pension. I som...

Nah, not coming soon. Here now. And it's with much pleasure that I can say the best mixtape of this young year comes from hometown hero Mic Terror (yeah I heard that mixtape, yeah and both of that other dude's tapes too). I've been meaning to post about dude for quite awhile, as he's been killing it...

I’m still not convinced I’ve got much of an idea what’s going on with the economy and global finance and all that, but one thing that seems apparent is that to at least some extent we should be expecting a widespread extended recession. Naturally, that’s inspired various folk...

It’s interesting how much high-falutin economics seems to come down to analogies to baby-sitting. The most recent example (via Russ Nelson a few days ago), is an article by Paul Krugman (actually from 1998) extrapolating from a baby sitter’s co-op to the Asian monetary crisis. Basically,...

Before I jump back into serious mode, I thought I’d take a minute to commemorate an important milestone in my personal history, and pay heed to one of the greatest rap groups (if not overall music groups) of all time–that being the WU-TANG CLAN. See, for those who don’t know, I hav...
