There are times in life when you say to yourself "Some day that asshole is going to realize I was right and HE was the asshole". For Peter Schiff, that day has come, and how, as his dire predictions of financial catastrophe come unerringly true. Man, if I was Schiff I'd be sending this video to every single other participant in the video with a "now you can suck my smarter-than-you dick" post-it note.
"Let the right one in" ***1/2 (out of four): If you see one vampire movie this season, it shouldn't be the one you're probably thinking of. It should be this quietly beautiful, fiendishly gripping Swedish import which is likely to stay with you longer than your average teen romance novel.
As most of you have heard, there's a terrific new vampire movie opening this weekend. As most of you haven't heard, it's called "Let the right one in (Låt den rätte komma in)", a quietly beautiful, fiendishly gripping Swedish import which is likely to stay with you longer than your average teen romance novel.
This topic falls just inside of the "Commuting Suicide" umbrella. It involves travel in public transportation, and it made me want to kill myself. Therefore, we're going to let it run.
November 24th is the anniversary of the most daring bank robbery ever attempted.
And possibly to succeed.
In 1971, D.B. Cooper (real name Dan Cooper) leaped from a Northwest Airlines Boeing 727 with two parachutes and $200,000 in ransom into a stormy southwestern Washington state sky, a temperature of 7 below and a clip-on tie.
The tie was found. His fate remains unknown.
Despite hundreds of leads through the years, no conclusive evidence has surfaced regarding Cooper's true identity or whereabouts.
The bulk of the money has never been recovered, although in 1980, a kid found $5,880 in decaying $20 bills on the banks of the Columbia River which were linked to the ransom money.
Several theories offer competing explanations of what happened but the FBI believes DB did not survive.
Personally I wonder if he ever jumped out. Maybe he just lowered the stairs and hid somewhere else on the plane?
See the original CBS news story on the jump.
PS - Today's also the anniversary of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald.
In China, Members Only jackets are in serious demand.
By Giant Pandas.
Witness exhibit A in this video.
PS - Dave, you think this guy pooped his pants?
Another last minute Thanksgiving side dish....
Making them couldn't be easier just bake breadsticks,
wrap the bacon around the breadsticks.
Put in oven till bacon is cooked.
Let bacon bread cool.
Eat.
I really really want one of these. See more toy reviews from Mike Mozart at his website.

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.
Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.
If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.
Have fun.
