Shambles

Bear Stearns bought for $236 MILLION.... ~$2 a share... Collapse...

It was trading at over $100 a share within the past year, and around $30 a share on Friday.
The real question is how many more companies will follow.

The collapse of our economy. All hail President Bush!

A Long Hiatus

I have received questions as to why I stopped. Well, my candidate of choice, John Edwards dropped out and the race took a very boring turn.

Most of the coverage over the past few weeks has focused on who is attacking whom and who said what. Without someone who actually wants to push the issues, it appears that the primary election has degenerated into an election about name calling and popularity.

Perhaps I will blog again regarding some of my Graduate Student Assembly work, or soccer, or some research, or other random musings. With the help of a couple other students, I am part of the group that is starting Intramural Ultimate Frisbee for graduate students. This is a pretty big deal for us. We hope to have the season setup within the next week. Hopefully, there will be around 11-12 teams.
