In Other News...I Predict The World Goes Mad
Two other noteworthy items in Newsweek.
1) More lists! It's a two list day!
2) Great editorial/opinion piece (what's the difference?) by Evan Thomas, "Disconnect in the District" about Washington insiders, Obama, and public perception. Linked above in the article title.
3) Kathleen Deveny writes a Modern Family column, and this week's essay is called "We're Bossy - And Proud of It." Hate to break it to you Kathleen, but you're a little late. Kathleen, I know Bossy, and you're no Bossy.
4) In case you thought that Mother Nature destroying every landscape she can get her mitts on, $4.15 per gallon gas, severed feet washing up on beaches, and pregnancy pacts among young adolescent girls wasn't enough to put you over the edge, I'm here to give you the final nudge into the abyss. Laura Day, reports Newsweek, earns about $50,000 a month to be an "intuitionist." In other words, she's a psychic routinely hired by giant corporations - not even the weird ones, normal ones, like William Morris and Seagate Technology - to predict, uh...stuff. Attorneys use her to help with jury selection. She helps Wall Street money managers make decisions. If I had any money to manage, and my Wall Street money manager was using a psychic to make decisions, I think I'd bea little pissed, freaked out, irate, you choose concerned! She trains Harvard Business School Alumnae, she counsels the stars, but she's no Miss Cleo. She charges $10,000 a month per client...and has 5 or so clients at a time. For using her intuition.
Hell. I'm going to start charging around here.
Where are my keys? On the dresser...ka ching!
Do I like this kind of chicken? Yes. You love it...ka ching!
Should I buy this $450 table saw? No, but you will anyway...ka ching!
You're going to write about this, aren't you? Yep...ka ching!

What the hell is up with the severed feet? This is wacko. But the pregnancy thing - pact or no - makes me want to hang my head and cry.
