In no particular ord……..Oh, look! A pony!
- Still waiting to hear how we build a $195m. NASCAR Hall of Fame while local hotel-motel occupancy — and hence hotel-motel tax revenue — slams through the floor. I know! Let’s hire a lobbyist and get bailout money! Or maybe — just maybe — ask NASCAR for a do-over, ie, cash.
- Election funk up in Gboro, involving the local Soil and Water czar. And abusive MySpace postings. And a homeless man. With a fake name. Told you, funky.
- A welcome step away from crony capitalism. Pimco says no thanks to trying to save GMAC from the inside as part of the firm’s investor committee, moves to arms-length relationship as a plain-vanilla credit holder. Those GMAC-to-Ballantyne rumors might just be for two cubicles and a coffee pot soon.
- Fine with me, but does Creative Loafing look less and less like an alt-weekly and more like a Larry Flynt hook-up circular with each issue? Maybe McClatchy brings back Break next.
- USA Today just printed a story on how to wash your hands. I am not making this up. I shudder at the next logical installment in the series, however.
- Oh, and over 100 million credit card transactions may have been hacked by scammers. Just don’t pay the bill and wait for the bailout.
And that’s news you can lose.
