Old Media Guard Lashes Out, Ironically

So most of you have probably heard about the duel between John Stewart and Jim Cramer last week. If you haven’t you can watch the videos here. Stewart got props for not backing down and forcing Cramer to admit that he and his home network, CNBC, shirked their journalistic duties when it came to reporting [...]

My Day Today

Where I am: Market research facility at the armpit of the earth. Otherwise known as 10 Parsonage Rd, Edison NJ @ Schlesinger Associates. Yeah, the name gives me the chills too.
What I’m doing: Listening to doctors talk about allergy medication.
Best response I heard today: This sounds like the company is going out of business.

Oh WaMu, You Shouldn’t Have

WaMu, formerly known as Washington Mutual but now flying under the Orca-esque shorter moniker, has been running an ad campaign extolling their generous pledge to waive 1 overdraft fee per year if you have a checking account with them. Hmm…let me see…I am pretty certain that every other bank out there will do this [...]

Mr. Tony Avella Non-Responds to My Missive About Congestion Pricing Plan

Mr. Avella’s response to my first letter (you can read the first letter in the previous post):

Dear Mr. Avella:
First, thank you for responding to my previous letter, I [...]

As a purportedly educated people the two of you should be ashamed of your parochially mindless and outspoken stance against the congestion pricing plan.
Seriously, [...]

Congestion Pricing Dead for Now

This whole Congestion Pricing travesty has been one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. From day one it has reeked of special interests playing a larger role than what’s actually best for the city winning out. I have not seen one factual account of what the Congestion Pricing Plan will or will not do [...]

It Ain’t Me Babe

I don’t know if you know this or not, but there are blogs out there that are…hmm…shall we say—more popular than Medium Happiness. Yes. While we average 30 or so views a day, other blogs get thousands, if not tens of thousands of hits a day. I am learning, however, that these blogs also have [...]

The Ruling Class is Into Some Sick Shit Max Mosely

Have you ever seen the movie The Ruling Class*? In one of the film’s first scenes a British Nobleman, of some sort, enters his sleeping chamber along with his mandrake, has a night cap, and proceeds to engage in his favorite fetish: hanging himself with a silken noose from his vaulted bed frame while dressed [...]

Jose Canseco, Heather Mills, Waterboarding?

Three things puzzled and or bothered me this morning.
1) If what Jose Canseco is saying is true and he did hook Alex Rodriguez up with the steroid dealer “Max,” and there is evidence that A Rod took steroids, then I will not watch baseball anymore.
2) Heather Mills former McCartney $50 Million is not enough? You [...]
