Manhunt Saw Record Traffic As Dow Dropped

But we received a tip that Manhunt, the most popular online "dating" resource in NYC for men looking for a hookup, saw record membership numbers the day of the stock market crash. So we got on the phone with Ken Herron, chief of marketing, and Tim Feeley, head of product development, to discuss the numbers that spiked when the Dow dropped.

Herron claims that guys were probably "reaching out to connect with friends, whether they were going to have sex or not. They want to reach out and talk." We didn't realize that people were using the sex site as an actual "social networking" site similar to Facebook.

I think they were all Republicans who needed comfort after the debates.

Happy Birthday!

La Magnifica!!!

I had to ask the cat not to say anything.

Sarah Palin sounds like Miss Teen South Carolina... again

Well, she was in a beauty pageant, right?

I love the irony in Sarah's response, especially-- "in terms of being able to answer a question forthrightly". Jeez, just look at this response, not to mention the numerous others that make little or no sense!! She can't compose coherent sentences, yet she has the gall to criticize (however misguided, but that's another rant) someone else for allegedly being evasive.

From the op-ed in the NY Times:

"Palin finally took questions on Tuesday from her traveling press corps on her campaign plane. Asked if she thought Senator Obama was dishonest, McCain’s Mean Girl meandered:

“I’m not saying he’s dishonest, but in terms of judgment, in terms of being able to answer a question forthrightly, it has two different parts to this. The judgment and the truthfulness and just being able to answer very candidly a simple question about when did you know him, how did you know him, is there still — has there been an association continued since ’02 or ’05, I know I’ve read a couple different stories. I think it’s relevant.”

My Birthday Week

And so concludes my Birthday Week.

It actually started two weekends ago when I drove down to Maryland for a visit with my family. It's been non-stop since then, so that's why I haven't been posting a lot. I still haven't caught up on all my Olympic volleyball!

For those of you who helped me celebrate my "special" birthday, thank you so much. I really did have a great time.

I'm tired.

There was some speculation that our beloved president attended the 2008 Olympic Games and drank a little too much.

Starbucks discounts after 2:00 PM

NEW YORK — Looking to bring more value-seeking consumers through its doors for a late afternoon caffeine fix, Starbucks Corp. said it will now offer its morning customers any iced grande beverage for $2 after 2 p.m.

The price is a big cut from the normal price of most grande-sized iced drinks. A grande iced latte, for example, costs about $4. To get the discount, customers must present a receipt from their morning Starbucks visit.

Sidewalk Talk

I love this idea! I guess we DON'T need to remodel the breezeway to become our dining room. Article here.
