Whoops! I was so busy getting the Jan/Feb issue of my mag together that I almost missed my New Year’s Resolution of making sure I post at least one item every day!
Fortunately, I came across this neat writeup about companies that worked for/with Nazi Germany. “Enjoy”!
(And, yes, I do own a Hugo Boss suit, but it was in clearance, so I got to exert my Jewish stereotype on that one.)
My other resolution is to get back to only drinking water, black coffee or gin. I slipped up and had a Dr. Pepper a few days ago, and Amy broke out a bottle of wine Saturday night, but I’m sticking with it pretty well!
Thanks, federal government and state of New Jersey! I didn’t really want the other FORTY-FOUR PERCENT of my holiday bonus and online sales commission anyway!
Maybe in another year or two you can take more than half of my cash!
Even the annual slog through the Contract Services Directory won’t stop me from delivering my weekly oddball links, dear readers! Enjoy!

I guess the Wall Street Journal has a vested interest in throwing Hillary Clinton through the Drew Friedmanizer like this:
Note: I added a “Drew Friedmanizer” category to the site, so now you can check out all the posts with these wacky WSJ pictures.
It’s time for some post-Thanksgiving links, dear readers! Happy Black Friday! Go buy me stuff!

Remember my Ron Paul campaign post a few weeks ago? The one about how I saw a ton of signs and banners for him dotting Rt. 78 & 22 in Pennsylvania, months before the state’s primary?
Looks like his supporters turned Guy Fawkes day into a campaign fundraiser blowout, bringing in more than $4 million in one day. Congrats on turning the GOP race upside-down! Just don’t bust out that Howard Dean scream!
Here’s the lede from a story in this morning’s NYTimes:
Senate Democrats face an agonizing choice in the days ahead: find a way to raise at least $50 billion in new taxes, or undermine their most important rule [“pay as you go”] for enforcing budget discipline.
I find it telling that “don’t spend so much” doesn’t seem to be one of their choices.
