Big Brother is Published in The New York Times… Website Comments Section.

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Big Brother finally relented and let The New York Times publish some of his work. Look way down in the comments section - it is a lovely little poem credited to Abe Stalin, excerpted below:
Topolino was a little mouse,
with a great big wish
for a great big house.
But bloated valuations and sub-prime fears,
left him a renter [...]

Buy a Chrysler, a Bose, and a Starbuck’s!

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Second largest U.S. electronics retailer Circuit City might not make it through the holidays; main competitor Best Buy will survive but is not sanguine about its profit numbers this year. Unless if you were heavily invested in retailer stocks (the New York Stock exchange halted trading in CC shares when they fell to 10 cents [...]

The First Crisis of the Obama Presidency

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Big Brother was in California last week. When in the neighborhood he always takes time out to have lunch with First Lady Nancy Reagan (her husband may no longer be president but Big Brother will always consider her The First Lady). She was of course, as always, resplendent in red, but she was not in [...]

BIG BROTHER ENDORSES SENATOR BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Good Morning voters who think Democrats vote Wednesday,

With voting already complete you may think it is too late for Big Brother to make his official endorsement in the presidential election. Not so. Big Brother waited until yesterday to make an endorsement for Senator John McCain. Big Brother has never failed to endorse the winner in [...]

Black Hen’s Teeth

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

MSNBC just interviewed a young man claiming to be a Republican at Morehouse College, a traditionally black college in Atlanta.  Big Brother admires the reporting prowess of the blond chick from basic cable’s premier liberal news outlet in finding such a rare speciman.  The young man in question said he was in fact a registered [...]

Big Brother’s New Hero

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Captain Yossarian from Catch-22 via Don’t Bet On It contributes the following insight on election day:
“We won’t lose. We’ve got more men, more money, and more material. There are ten million men in uniform who could replace me. Some people are getting killed and a lot more are making money and having fun. Let somebody [...]

Big Brother is Over-Caffeinated

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Starbucks Coffee fell afoul of election laws by offering a free cup of coffee to anyone who voted today. It turns out you are not allowed to offer any inducement to voting: it smacks of Boss Tweed in 1860’s New York (did anyone at corporate headquarters in Seattle ever see Gangs of New York?).
Anyhow, [...]
