Right or Wrong with this guy, you have NO Recourse if something happens to you when you're in there. Just keep that in mind if someone smashes your car in the parking ramp or worse... You're not in the NY state and barerly in the US for that matter.

This is why going to any Seneca Casino can be a even more risky proposition than already being at a disadvantage to the house

Zombie Walk on ElmwoodCategory: zombies
My friend Marv finally posted some video on Youtube of his annual Zombie Walk.
I think this kid is going to be scared for life. The Second Vid is pretty funny, especially in the beginning. Marv is leading the procession and is always a bit loud.

Fox (Faux) Business ChannelCategory: media
What a B-day present a new business channel. All I can say is I bet there is some real seismic drama erupting behind the scenes involving the two flagship hotties of the top 2 business channels. I can only imagine Erin Burnett is saying about Alexis Glick
Those two links should illustrate what Rupert is really after. From what I saw today basically it is totally dummed down news given by "hot chicks." They have taken it to the lowest common denominator. Everything they have done so far is to "talk down" to the viewer. When I was 18 I was challenged to figure out what they were talking about and move my level up to theirs not to hope they lower themselves to mine.
I'm sure if Rupert could have those chicks appear topless like page 3 in those tabloids he'd do it in a heartbeat. So in that sense it's ironic that a conservative media outlet puts first and foremost "hot chicks;" What kind of family values is that trying to portray?
CNBC has the High Net Worth individuals and for the time being I don't see them going astray except for some eye Candy. The problem is what are they going to do when Murdock takes the Wall Street Journal the bible of American business to the Junior College Level from the current MBA level that is written? What will the professors make their students read for class projects at that point? That is what is really going to cause the next business downturn, bad business journalism NOT SubPrime Credit Crunches...
Oh, I should give full disclosure I'd take Alexis over Erin any day!
Fuck, his plan is working already ;-)

I'm with Josh on this one. Fox will be fine. For all the reasons he stated plus perhaps the most important one of all, monetary backing. A new network of any kind has one big need and that be money: startup costs, etc as well the lean times to get you through before advertising dollars truly kick in. Uncle Rupert should be able to keep this from being an issue.

Actually I think FBC will be very successful.
The strategy behind the launch of FBC was to focuse more on a "Main St." approach rather than a "Wall St." approach to things. This to me is a completely ignored marketplace for viewers. People who are interested in economics and investments typically are among the class that can afford to bother. Trying to gain viewers by taking a more common approach is a winning formula in my eyes, but of course all of that remains to be seen.
The hot chick formula for news is old. Like my brother stated, this is a well worn tactic to try to gain viewership for news programming. Gotta give it to PBS though - they've always had thoroughly ugly people do their news for generations!
Of course this journal entry was primarily written to try to rip Fox and Rupert Murdoch, so the discussion of the channel was secondary anyway. I'm amused at the anti-FNC contingent that thinks their news sources are white as snow. I could go on and on about the hypocritical nature of that position, much of which is willingly ignored. I have to say, this is too cliche to bother writing about.

If you turn to CNN, or for that matter most networks and their spinoff channels, you will see plenty of gorgeous women too, the most famous one of all being Robin Meade. The media people I know worship her. She gets fluff pieces in trade mags. Rupert is far from being a pioneer here.
Now, most people aren't going to do what you did, and learn everything they can about the markets. They have their professional handle it, if they have any investments at all. The cynical part of me thinks the programming that exists today is made to reinforce the barrier between the "investment" class and us regular folks.

South Florida #2 !The University of South Florida Bulls are #2 in the Nation! Wow is all I can say. Actually I've been wearing my old USF hat that I bought 7 years ago around town. What is cool is it's the old logo and no one can call me a "bandwagon jumper" Since my Mom lives in Sarasota for most of the year I adopted the Tampa Bay area teams. Back in the day USF had a campus in Sarasota, New College. Although they regained their independence as an institution last year it's just amazing to see a school that had 2,000 students 48 years ago become a national power in a sport.
It's just good to have other outlets for my sporting requirements. After last Monday I'm glad that I have had my heart associated with a team that won a Super Bowl, Go Bucs! Watching the game today although not entertaining as the Monday night game, did provide an outlet for sports legitimacy.

I went to UCF when we and USF were rivals of sorts. Amazing how USF has jumped out of nowhere and UCF while slightly improved is still lingering as bottomfeeders. At least they have their own stadium now.

last nightCategory: going out
I must say although most baseball purists were not fans of the late game I absolutely loved it. To me there is nothing cooler than a sporting event being live @ 1am in the morning. When I was sitting at the bar with my friend B.B. last night at Frizzy's it was a blast. That place is so much fun for some reason. It was also great to run into a couple of (e:strip) peeps which just made it an even better time.
So what happened after the Sox imploded? We ended up on some bar on Englewood! Don't ask, I would blog about it but I do like to keep myself from appearing to be a bitter dude...

With SO many casinos in the area, it seems to me it would be smarter of the government to legalize them instead of selling land to Indians so they can build them anyway. This way, the local economy would benefit some from the casinos instead of them acting like a black hole sucking all of the region's money into the Seneca (or whichever) nation.
