It's Them, Not Me: Blago's Latest-- NTN Strikes Again-- Stupid, Stupid Stock Market

Things That Burn My Butt.


1. BLAGO'S LATEST-- Just got word that former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich signed a six-figure deal for a book. Yes, he gave it to the highest bidder. Who would want to read this book?

Our state representative from the area, Jack Franks, has a bill that makes any Illinois official convicted of wrong-doing to forfeit all profits from books, movies, TV, radio, and internet projects. Franks said he and his staff have been working on it since the Gov was arrested in December. How did he know the Gov would write?


2. NTN STRIKES AGAIN-- One of my favorite past times, NTN-Buzztime, just announced that they have a new CEO. It didn't say how much he'd be earning and other goodies or signing bonus. This last year, NTN has laid off 17% of its staff and, in my opinion, taken a very nasty turn away its core players, oldsters like me. They're going after the younger folks, who have other things on the mind while at a bar.

Plus, I would be concerned with why so many places drop it, even those not going out of business.


3. STUPID, STUPID STOCK MARKET-- Big drop yesterday. Don't the stock brokers get it? If you don't sell, it WON'T DROP!!! Hey, even try buying for a change. It's like the little kid who keeps putting his hand in the fire. Stop putting it in the fire and you'll stop burning yourself.

Don't Look Back, They May Be Gaining. --RoadDog
