So let’s assume GM doesn’t get bailed out and they start to move to bankruptcy. This will likely further hammer holiday sales as there seems to be a direct feedback loop going on between the markets and the consumer. If you look back at the sales data for October vs. performance of the [...]

We spent the better half of today trying to get the next available flight to Greece because we have a sick obsession with visiting war zones..  Turns out the shit is going down in a big way.  The cops shot a 15 year old kid dead - so the kids go together and burned the motherfucker down. [...]
