While You Were Sleeping: Sex and Chocolate

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

The government took over Freddie Mac and Sallie Mae, once again proving that if you bring in enough money, it doesn't matter who you fuck over, there will always be someone willing to bail you out.

That Asian junkie you've been reading about has thankfully kicked his addiction. You remember the story: he's an elephant.

Gisele Bundchen clears up those rumors about her "impending" marriage to Tom Brady:

Don’t place any bets on when Gisele Bündchen might marry boyfriend Tom Brady, says the supermodel. “I’m happy as I am,” she tells the Spanish edition of Vogue in its September issue. “Why is the whole world worked up about my getting married? I’m having a great time and I want to enjoy it.” 

The Jerry Seinfeld commercial for Microsoft appears to have stumped everyone. Everyone.

Could the Top Chef: Ultimate Fighting Championship spinoff be far away in the future?

Obama and McCain will honor the victims of 9/11 and speak at Columbia University on the anniversary of the attacks. And yes, they were attacks, not bombings. 

Meanwhile, the conservatives in Canada are learning how employ nasty Rovian tactics at home: the Prime Minister dissolved parliament in hopes the third election in just a few months will increase the conservative grip on government.

Between My Sheets polled the Top 100 sex bloggers of 2008. Obviously, we didn't make it because Between My Sheets isn't hip enough, damn it!

And Teri Hatcher has figured out the secret to life. Luckily for guys everywhere, it involves having sex with her:

[She] has motherly advice for her daughter – and the Desperate Housewives star is only too eager to share it. “Have great sex [and] eat the chocolate,” the single mom advises 10-year-old Emerson – and the general reading public – in Hatcher’s October column for Britain’s Glamour magazine.

First, it's Fannie Mae, not Sallie Mae (which deals with student loans, not real estate loans).  (Also not to be confused with Elly Mae, who uses her father's oil money to finance critter purchases.)

Second, the bailout, like the one of Bear Stearns, essentially wipes out the shareholders who invested in the companies' stock and who are responsible for electing the directors who appointed the management that wrecked the companies (that over-financed the house that Jack bought).  The bailout allows Freddie and Fannie to satisfy their debt obligations, i.e., pay their creditors.  As with Bear Stearns, a bankruptcy would have sent enormous shockwaves through the economy and pulled down creditors and contract parties with them.  Yes, it sucks that the taxpayers have to foot this bill, but the alternative, which would be, literally, the meltdown of the credit markets, would be much much worse.  (Think of it this way:  The 1929 crash was the meltdown of the equity market.  Debt is supposed to be more secure than equity.  If the debt markets melt down, we really could have another Great Depression on our hands, instead of a mere recession.)

Um - hey guys, yeah, we've got election fatigue up here in Canada, but it's the 3rd election in four YEARS, not in a few months!
