SEC Nails CEO of Countrywide Angelo Mozillo

2007-10-11T16:36:00.000-07:00

A while ago, I pointed out the suspicious timing of stock sales by CEO of Countrywide, Angelo Mozillo. Mozillo sold Countrywide stock literally a week before it announced that it would have a massive big bath on subprime writedowns! You will remember that Angelo was the CEO who sold $10 million of stock in Countrywide at $28 per share 2 weeks before the whole mortgage market started coming apart and CFC got cut in half to $15. He must be the most luckiest person ever to have that kind of...

Starbucks Recall Not the First Time!

2007-10-11T00:42:00.000-07:00

I did some research into Starbuck's recall of those deadly baby sipping cups and it turns out Starbuck's most recent recall is hardly the first time that the omnipresent coffee house has had a run in with Chinese imports. In fact, I did a search on the Consumer Product Safety Commission site for Starbucksand found a deadly coffee maker, the pair of choking bears, and some turtles that can cause kids to choke - when swallowed. Starbucks Announces Recall of 8-Cup Coffee Brewers Due to Possible...

You know stripping is in when strippers can win workman's compensation! Angela Hobson injured herself while stripping at the Shangri-La West club in Fort Wayne on 20 December 2001.

2007-10-10T20:21:00.000-07:00

Let the mudslinging begin in Presidential Race 2008! It should come as no surprise that the National Inquirer has become the official authority on mudslinging. The latest salvo: the John Edwards affair! The tabloid is claiming that John Edwards who is a presidential candidate cheated on his wife while she was undergoing chemo - that is chemo for cancer! Who broke it!? The one and only conservative spokesblonde Ann Coulter announced that the National Enquirer was just reporting that John...

Michele Linehan was a stripper who married a doctor, became a soccer mom, and then took out a $1 million life insurance policy on her husband and had him erased. Do we live in a real world? Or do we live in a world of fiction!? Linehan — then known as Mechele Hughes — was one of the top girls at a strip club called the Great Alaska Bush Co. in 1996. A former co-worker said she was so sexy, she didn't have to dance to earn big tips; men would pay just to talk to her. She may have been hot,...

2007-10-10T06:33:00.000-07:00

Banquet Chicken Pot Pies! Everyone who eaten TV dinners has had them, and oh my! They've been infected with salmonella. These delicious and nutritionless pies have been a staple of TV diners world wide and I am still having a hard time believing they can actually be infected with salmonella. After all, doesn't all that bacteria die when you nuke it in the microwave?!

Omega and Patek Phillipe Rig Watch Auctions

2007-10-08T18:50:00.000-07:00

The Journal has a great story about how luxury watch makers are rigging their own auctions by bidding on their watches at high profile events. Omega paid over $300,000 for one of the very watches that it put up for auction in Geneva, beating genuine bidders. What is even more amazing is that Patek Phillipe, the well known watch maker, has engaged in shill bidding for even longer. On eBay, if you shill bid, ie bid on your own item, you get banned. At the auction houses in Switzerland, you're...

Christina Aguilera, when she is not shaking her ass in front of the camera, likes to play Mommy - at least that's what she did this weekend.

Marla Omstead - The 4 Year Old Picasso

2007-10-08T13:04:00.000-07:00

I was fascinated to learn about Marla Omstead who paints like Picasso, except she's just 4 years old. Child prodigies are quite fascinating because they appear to have no experience to back up their talents and gifts, yet they excel in what they do. If art doesn't get you excited, then money will. Marla's art is viewable only on her website MarlaOmstead.com and she has sold her paintings for tens of thousands of dollars. It's so interesting that filmmakers made a film about it. "The only venue...

Looking at the balance sheet, Vonage has about $400 million in cash. The Sprint settlement is for $80 million which brings cash down to $320 million. If a settlement with Verizon is made for a similar amount, cash...

2007-10-06T21:40:00.000-07:00

I have gotten charged a fee every time I received an incoming wire transfer at Bank of America even though my account entitles me to get wires for free. It is becoming such a nuisance because every time I receive a transfer, I am charged $10. Then, I have to write to customer service to "remind" them that I have an "Advantage Account" which entitles me to free incoming wires. I have sent at least 10 emails to them about this problem and each time, they apologize and reverse the fee. Bank of...
