Deranged extreme.

Boredom Overrun 

Did you ever notice that in an article title...many times instead of saying a name or some of the describing characteristic they say...."Woman eyeing job..." "Chinese says China Gov't ...." I think they partly do it so that it will catch people's attention more because most people won't know the names mentioned. But honestly...can we not title it any other way. No class. No Style. And is that the only characteristic that is of significance

As you can see below. My boredom has overrun me.

Press Think Way cool blog that just won the reporters without boarders award for Americas

journalism.nyu.edu i'm going to NYU. I'm going I'm going!!

thememagazine.com Cool asian culture magazine that we ran across in borders ;D Maybe I'll get a subscription. If only I didn't move so damn much.

Video of violet riot in chinese village -> They are being forced to leave so a electric plant can be built
BLogs -> How bloggers are pressing the Downing street memo

Downing Street Memo -> info on the downing street memo ;)

So I looked over the statement issued to bond holders by rick wagnor for gm right and it was so so interesting. But I felt the really interesting part was at the bottom. only after rick had stopped talking. The warning label.

In the presentation above and in related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “objective”, “plan”, “goal”, “project”, “outlook”, “priorities/targets” and similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking statements. While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in GM’s most recent report on SEC Form 10-K which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of and price increases for fuel; labor strikes or work stoppages; health care costs; market acceptance of the corporation's new products; pace of product introductions; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management.


It's almost like you are buying form a tv ad. It looks so so great but then there are all these strings and whistles on it. -_- The fact that they need to put such a qualifier on the end to cover their butt just startles me sometimes. like this line!

actual results may differ materially due
It's so phunny....its like diet pills or exersize....acutally results may differ due to your body ;p

yeah, i miss all the fun lovin' Ephedra diet pills... those were heart-stopingly, tunnel-visiony good.

i think the "changes in competitive environment" is a joke. there was a conversation i had the other day about the US and its idea of what 'competition' really means: so long as the rest of the world follows our precidents and style of free-market capitalism there's no problem, the more 'competition' the better - as long as the US comes out on top.
