up on the roof

OK, because this turned out the way it did, it's funny. Plus I was watching Adult Swim last night (Futurama and Family Guy) and saw the apology, not exactly sure what to make of it. How exactly did Bostonians get this paranoid? Bomb scares? Really? Oh, there's electronics equipment with wires! It's a bomb!!!!!!!! Run away!!!!! Yeah it was flipping the bird but so? Not really telltale signs of a bomb. Unless the bomber's got a great sense of humor.

Here's some local Indiana news. You may not of heard of Eli Lily Co. but you've probably heard of some of their products. Altima, Cialis, or Cymbalta? Well, anyway, making it sound like a bad thing, Lily's profits for the fourth quarter dropped 81 percent. *gasp* To a measly $132.3 million. This was after paying a $500 million in a class-action lawsuit. Don't worry though, overall profits for 2006 was up from 2005, to $2.7 billion. Wait. Wait. Nope, sorry, not really feeling sad about it. Like Eli Lily making only 2.7 BILLION DOLLARS is going to make feel bad. Good for them, paying out half a billion dollars. They can afford it. Me, if I saw a 81 percent drop, well, I'd get paid about $81.

Just like when the price of oil was dropping because of the unusually warm winter. *gasp* And CNN Money was reporting like that it was a bad thing??? Wait, what? Gas prices go down, people have more to spend, do more things with said money saved, and stimulates the economy. So what's the bad thing? Oh, the oil industry doesn't make as much as they did yesterday. Instead of making $2 billion like they did yesterday they only made $1.8 billion. CRY ME A RIVER. I guess you can't fuel up your private jet today. Life sucks doesn't it? Go kill yourself rich guy. No, seriously. Kill yourself.
