Kompletely Klueless
My feelings about celebrity culture are identical to those of the late George Carlin, esteemed patron saint of the Slope of Hope: he couldn’t stand it. As I was thumbing through the Palo Alto Daily Post this morning, there was a headline – “Kardashian mom files for divorce.”
The “mom” is that cow-like woman Kris Jenner who, after her own failed marriage to a sleazy lawyer that managed to get OJ to walk after a double-murder rap, married a man who, in the 1970s, was a big hero (Bruce Jenner) who had a failed marriage of his own. Now these two misfits have a 2nd wrecked marriage to add to each of their scorecards.
What made me heave is when I read the names of the various and sundry spawn from their marriages: Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie. When George ranted about his dislike of “couples whose children’s names all start with the same initial”, I didn’t quite know what he meant…until now. The entire topic is a big load of Krap.
Back to the Recording Studio
My recording sessions with Audible, Inc. continue, and this afternoon I’ll be donning the headphones to continue reading my Panic, Prosperity, and Progress #1 national best-seller (ahem). I’ll do a post about these suddenly-interesting markets this evening.
The Market Will Crash Next Month
Heh. Just kidding. I figured I’d join the rest of the web in the act of shameless click-baiting.
I will say, however, that the Russell 2000 has broken important support and – importantly – is at the cusp of breaking another terribly-important trendline. Plus, if the market does crash next month, I’ll just show the headline of this post without the text and be a hero. I can’t lose!
