    In reply to Martha Stewart Gang-Related Drug Conspiracy Caught on Tape
    Bloomy is doing radio promos for the all-news AM station in Toronto, identifying himself only as founder of Bloomberg Media. I think the station must have recently signed with Bloomberg for business news reports.

    I guess in the third term, anything goes.

    At this point, Bloomy should be reminding all media types that the MTA gave out raises. Allen Sorkin, train conductor!

    In reply to The French Resistance to Yahoo's Cost-Cutting CEO
    Watching this video, I was reminded that the beautiful French language is uniquely and supremely suited to bullshitting. So much so that they have a word for it--glossolalie, which means "the art of employing the maximum amount of fancy words to obfuscate actual meaning and communicate absolutely nothing."

    Vive la glossolalie!

    If I learned one thing living in Paris, it was that the French know how to protest. Thanks to the student shenanigans my street had metal walls up half the time and was constantly crawling with riot police! At least walking by their different highly creative protests every day was interesting to look at.

    In reply to Value of College Degree Now Negative
    I hat to admit that I went to, graduated from and continued after college without the slightest idea that the experience would translate into CA$H. Instead I had a series of experiences, some intellectual, some emotional, based on books, studies, social experiences and my first time to spend as a young adult by myself, which helped me move on from a lonely childhood and fairly negative view of people to being someone far more at ease with myself and interested and engaged with society at large. And I was not the only one. Yeah, yadda yadda yadda, but there is something to be said for the experience as an experience. Otherwise we are talking Neo-con trade school oriented anti-intellectualism. "If you can't make MONEY (stuffs burger into mouth) there's no reason to do it!" I heard that from a number of guys who went into finance, proud of their inability to handle abstract concepts. It's amazing how many of them slaved through their 20s and into their 30s and are now bankrupt or worse and with nothing--nothing at all--to show for it. Unless you count coke habits.

    Oh, my liberal arts degree is priceless for three reasons. First, it made me the socialist I am today, secondly I always win at Trivial Pursuit, and last - I wouldn't have missed all of that partying for anything!

    The problem is most people don't major in anything useful to employers. I wish someone had told me before I majored in English. Now I just have a bunch of term papers on "To the Lighthouse" and no $$$ :-(

    @The Dewd: I think it makes sense to go to college to major in something like English, or History, or something academic, or highly technical fields like engineering. What doesn't make sense is a job market that requires college degrees for entry-level business jobs

    @The Dewd: I've always found jobs because I know how to write. You could look for freelance work writing web sites, brochures, etc. Most people either hate writing or can't do it well, so this is a valuable service if it's what you like to do. Network and find design agencies who build sites and develop collateral and branding strategies. Designers hire you as the writer and pay you - and you are presented to the customer as part of the design service. If you have good business sense, writing gigs can also turn into marketing gigs once they see the value you bring to the table.
