Related to getting year-end banking bonuses:
"The real hitter MDs would stroll out of the office, and at the surface, they looked as calm and expressionless as when they had gone in. But as they walked by on their way out, it felt as if they smiled and winked, blanketing the room with a confident and firm: “Fuck yeah. I’m a badass. Someone go warm up the G4.” And then sometimes they would actually wink and point, motioning for someone to go warm up the G4."

Hair dye : Chinese leaders as what is to Farah Fawcett?
Note to single guys: wear Speedstick and get laid. Where the hell are the PR people on this one?
Venezuela decides to offset their clocks by 30 minutes, just to give the bird to the rest of the world.
Advocating randomness in sport.

Feel shitty for the day: Figure out what other people did by the time they were your age.

December rocket, ready for liftoff
Expected Fed rate decrease at 2:15.
December performance is generally +1.7% in pre-election years.
People like Jim Cramer saying: "If we got a half-point cut from the Fed on Tuesday, I think you could see as much as a thousand-point rally on the Dow between here and year-end."
Chart of the last 5 days here.
Update: Wall Street to Bernanke: You suck.

Sampras v. Federer
I finally have time to watch the Sampras v. Federer exhibition matches that took place in Macao. Check them out for yourselves, courtesy of the Tennis Channel here.
Check out the fun Sampras forehand the 3rd match, 3rd game (Sampras serving at 40-0).

Hedge fund superstar Jim Rogers has three pieces of advice: "Get out of the dollar, teach your children Chinese, and buy commodities.''
He's moving his own family to Singapore.

Swiss IT
2008 is apparently the "Year of IT" in Switzerland. Facing a shortfall of skilled IT workers that can fill the gap created by those that are retiring or leaving, the Swiss IT sector has declared that they "will be producing T-shirts for the Chinese in 40 years time" if nothing is done.
If the banana hammock boxer briefs in the men's section of Globus are any indication of Swiss clothing style, Chinese men will start looking like International Male model rejects.

Gawker Stalker for DC
This post on Wonkette made me start to think why they don't have a Gawker Stalker for DC celebs (unless it's illegal in some strange way). Who wouldn't want to walk by Perrys and see Sen. Craig or crack up seeing Bernake getting a haircut at Bubbles in Pentagon City? I see a perfect partnership for Gawker and Wonkette.
