State of Tennessee Pays $135M for Edison Program

This is one of the top stories in Nashville right now, because the program is so horrible and so much money was spent on it. 135 million dollars!!! I would have happily done it for $1 Million and I would have made sure it was done right! Also, this could be one of the main contributors to State employees not getting a raise this year. They are not even getting a cost of living raise this year! Think about how far $135M can go. Even if you divide $135M 40,000 ways, that is still $3,375 that could be going towards someones raise and potentially back into the economy.

Musicians and their Ego's

Just got done reading the December '07 issue of the Rolling Stones and I am disappointed to hear that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are filing a lawsuit against Showtime because one of their shows, Californication, just so happens to be the name of one of the Chili Pepper's albums. The lead singer is quoted as saying "For some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right." What? Stealing your identity? I think what he meant to say is that "we are now greedy and our egos have overcome us so we will do anything we can to get more money/publicity." This is almost as bad as Metallica filing a lawsuit against a company that made a nail polish named "metallica". What does this mean to me? It means that I no longer respect the Chili Pepper's and they will no longer be getting any of my hard earned money.
