Monday First Cup

Can't believe its Monday already. Where did the weekend go?
- Palin tops list of memorable quotes And yet the top quote is from Tina Fey. I especially liked Phil Gramm's 'nation of whiners'.
- Politico and Reuters Forge a News Distribution Alliance Real competition for AP? Politico is growing like crazy but their reporting is just as left-leaning as AP, so I don't see a lot of change, even if they are able to compete.
- Hundreds protest New York immigrant's fatal beating Something here doesn't 'feel' right. One guy has minor scratches, the other is dead? And why do people march in the streets to protest brutal crimes?
- Power prices falling, but is now the time for fixed rate? It would probably be best to wait until January for the lowest rate. Just don't make the mistake I made and lock in a provider with a rate so far below market that they go bankrupt, throwing you into the 'emergency pool' with sky high rates. Yes, it happened to me last summer.
- Queen Elizabeth II reins in extravagance as credit crunch grips Sickening. Oh my, she wore a dress twice? The horror.
- Job cuts hit Texas' chemical industry Where is the bailout for the little guy? I talked to a guy last week that owns an asphalt company, he said his business had all but dried up. Looks like we are going to start feeling some of the pain that other states have been feeling.
