Just needs to attach "Tea Party State Legislator" to his resume, and he would've "hit for the cycle".

Inside Donald Trump's 757 (Gadling)

Aug 19th 2011 1:13PM Actually, it's the money from all the vendors and investors he's stiffed. Donald goes on TV and has Madison Avenue promote him so that he can keep a steady flow of suckers coming.

Supreme Court Rules Against Anna Nicole Smith Estate (PopEater)

Jun 24th 2011 6:33PM I'm confused. Exactly what did the son and the son's sons do to earn the money? Or Howard K. Stern? Or Anna's kids?

Jun 6th 2011 2:04PM Don't worry. Another porn tape will surface. She'll find another cop to cuff her. Maybe she'll hop on Palin's bus and be photographed emerging pantiless. Paris will be OK.

Burger King Franchisees Dismiss Lawsuit Over $1 Cheeseburger (AOL Small Business)

Apr 21st 2011 12:14PM I'm sure that 3G's franchisee agreements specify that they get a cut of the REVENUE, not gross profit. So, it's in 3G's interest to maximize REVENUE. The poor franchisee (supposedly an investor and a partner) is forced to sell burgers at a loss (or minimal profit), add staff for increased traffic, and buy more Burger King licensed product, bags, wrappers, etc. from a 3G vendor (3G probably gets a cut on that, too). So, 3G pockets the profits while the franchisees pay the higher bills. And 3G telling a franchisee what to charge is a violation of antitrust law; that's why ads say "at participating locations". But the franchisee loses goodwill (part of the value of his investment) if he doesn't participate. The franchisee also must pay the cost of their lawyers to stand up for their rights as independent businessmen and investors, PLUS the costs of 3G's pricier lawyers who are not acting in the franchisee's best interest. Stories like this also devalue the Burger King franchise. So, the franchisees are screwed up-and-down in-and-out and diagonally no matter what. Enjoy your double cheeseburger.

Jon Bon Jovi: Steve Jobs Is 'Killing the Music Business' (PopEater)

Mar 17th 2011 12:06PM Disagree with JBJ. What sold albums before were touring bands. Played clubs, played colleges, then arenas, then stadiums. Now, there's no 18-year-old drinking age in most states, so the clubs have disappeared. Tours have gotten increasingly more elaborate and have priced themselves out of most markets. Ticket agents are a monopoly. The acts (and their backers) now look for the "quick score". Independent radio stations are now owned by conglomerates and programmed by focus-group consultants that don't gamble on new artists or play albums on their stations. This was a trend long before the iPod. Steve Jobs and the labels reacted to that, not caused it.
