I thought I had time to crank out a post today, but I don't. Unfortunately you all missed out on what was going to be a riveting recap of last night's vice presidential debate between two people that I couldn't care less about. My mind is already made up.

Dukakis in '08.

Olympia Dukakis.

I like saying Dukakis.

I'm 8.

So in the meantime go watch this.

As far as you know, gadgets are my passion. I can read and read about them as well as write and write. But today I can’t but tell you about 2 things that annoy me in my life (apart from fools, roads and etc.). Have you ever thought about the fact that nowadays, it is impossible to go somewhere without a card. I mean it, we have numerous cards: visiting, phone, student, event and etc., cards. We think of them as of rubbish but let us just imagine, that you have lost your student card? Ouch! It will be really challenging to make a new one. But I just think that our lives can be much easier if we are capable of Plastic Card Printing. And why not? Simple, cheap and very functional decision.

Plastic Card Printing

It means, that I can not only restore my old cards but to create my own examples and variants. Such cards will be much cheaper, brighter and of really high-quality. All I have to do is to buy the equipment needed and create my own photo card studio.

 Badge holder

Together with cards we always need badge holders. I always can’t find a holder when I badly need one. And if I find it it is always smaller or bigger than I need. So I would love to buy thousands or no millions of such holders and never ever think about them again!

Here in good ole America there is one story that has pretty much taken over our everyday lives. The American Economy is dying. Boo hoo. Listen I probably should be caring since if there is no more American Economy it means that there will be no more American jobs which means that I won't be able to buy any more American products such as Chevrolets, Apple Pies, and baseballs.

Because I'm not 6.

In fact the top 5 headlines on CNN today were this..

Bailout Bill gets add-ons to lure voters.
'Sweeteners' may sour bailout for House Dems
Forget Dow, watch bailou anxiety index
Candidates stress urgency on bailout
Don't ram this through Congress.

Aside from the last one being Bill Cinton's porn with Monica Lewinsky (political humor is awesome!), as soon as I read all that the first thing I had to do was find out who this Bailout Bill person was. I imagine he tours the country looking for criminals in jail, people having their car towed, and kids without lunch money.

Kid- "Aw, man I only brought 3 dollars for lunch. I can't afford the cookie"
Bailout Bill - "Have no fear youngster, here's an extra dollar for that cookie!"
Kid- "Bailout Bill! Where did you come from? You saved the day!"
BB- "No problem kid. All in a day's work. Now excuse me I see a car being booted."

Cue Bailout Bill theme song. (in the harmony of the Cheers theme song)

When you get on your way and you don't know where to turn,
There can only be one hero that won't let you squirm.
He was born William, but all his friends called him Bill.

Sometimes you just need a hand
and Bailout Bill is on his way

duh duh duh duh

And he's here to save your day

duh duh duh duh

You have a car that's got a lot of tickets
There's a little kid that can't afford chicklets
Bailout Bill is here to save your daaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

do do do doo doo dooo.

I've found my Halloween costume.

Back to this financial bailout business. From what I can gather the government wants to "bailout" (Where's Bill?) banks and mortgage companies so we don't go into another Great Depression (if this isn't right, I don't really care so don't correct me). There a couple things I disagree with. First, how can we have ANOTHER Great Depression. That makes no sense. Would it be called the GreatER Depression. You can't have another great anything. Either it's better than the original great or it's worse therefore making it not great. These are the people running our country?

Secondly, how can a depression be great? It sounds awful to me. I can imagine good ole' Herbert Hoover (the vacuum guy) having a round table in 1929 with his boys.

Herbie Hoover- "Guys we're in trouble. America is in a financial depression."
Sarcastic dude - "That's great."
Herbie- "Brilliant! We will call it the Great Depression because then people will think its awesome and be confused. Sort of the whole park in a driveway and drive on a free way thing."
Mrs. Hoover- "Honey, I think you mean drive on a parkway."
Herbs- "Whatever! This depression will be great!"

I for one agree with the Herb-dog. That's why if this country does go into the proverbial economic port- a- potty I suggest we call it.

America's Super Happy Fun Time Depression.

See? Up beat and catchy. It doesn't sound so bad. Also it's not greater or anything. Like if there's another Wayne Gretzky we won't be calling him another Great One (that was his nickname), We would be calling that kid "The F***** Awesome One."

Cursing always gets your point across.

The financial bailout is all over the TV screens. A lot of people are asking if the bailout is good for us. What? When has anyone ever used the term bailout and have it mean something positive? Last time I checked the term bailout usually comes after you've totally screwed the pooch. And that my friends is disgusting. I rarely here anyone say, "Man I just got a new job, I hope I get bailed out!" "I found a million dollars, where's my bailout bitches?!?!" "I'm spending the weekend with 3 supermodels, I hope
