iPod me, baby
So I've finally decided that I can't wait any longer. With some of my tax return money I'm going to get an iPod. Woo-hoo! Don't tell Sallie Mae!
But I can't decide what to say with the free engraving. Any ideas? Here's a few of the best Breean and I could come up with:
iRock, therefore iAm
(my current fav)
Ithaca is Gorges
(local flavor)
The sun'll still shine
But the night is on my mind
(from a Tribe Called Quest song)
2 legit! 2 legit!
2 legit 2 quit!
(mc hammer)
I fought the law
and the law won
(learned the song from my 3rd grade teacher)
Party all the time!
Party all the time!
(Breean's favorite)

More from Bush News
President George Bush and the Gilded Age [from 0xDECAFBAD]:
During the last economic recovery period of March 1991 to April 1993, a 10% increase in GDP increased manufacturing jobs and service jobs 3% and 5.9% respectively. However, for the present economic recovery since November 2001, a 10% increase in GDP is increasing manufacturing and service jobs only 0.7% and 0.9% respectively.
Just to keep up with her population growth, the U.S. needs to create about 230,000 jobs a month. If the U.S. wants to employ the 3 million unemployed workers thrown out of work under the Bush Administration, the U.S. would have to create a lot more jobs monthly. Last month, however, the U.S. only created 115,000 jobs. President Bush has now abandoned his earlier declared promise of "creating 2.6 million jobs by the fall of 2004."
...
At Harvard Business School, thirty years ago, George Bush was a student of mine. I still vividly remember him. In my class, he declared that "people are poor because they are lazy." He was opposed to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare, and public schools.
To him, the antitrust watch dog, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Securities Exchange Commission were unnecessary hindrances to "free market competition." To him, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal was "socialism."

To all the MBA applicants out there
If any of my five readers should ever decide to attend b-school, please, for the sake of your classmates and yourself, take some writing classes. That's all I ask.
Derrick and David - I'm talking to you!
