Tip: n. the price that “one American is willing to pay to induce another American to acknowledge inferiority”, and other things
(Pedro Figari)Larry David on "Brokeback Mountain" in the times.
Why America tips.
A very good article on health insurance in America by Gladwell. Why it is the way it is. (a repost)
New insight on cancer. Cancer is genetic, but there is more to the story.
For those in the Chicago area, get your tickets to oprah. I've been trying for a month now, still no luck.
Some ways to save money:
-Best buy has buy 1 DVD, get 1 free for certain TV series. Link.
-Buy 64 20 oz. drinks at Wendy's, get a free RT ticket on Airtrans (expired 12/31)
-Take out a low-interest loan and buy a home. It's is easier now, though not any less expensive.
-Get a Citi credit card (5% cash back on drugs, gas, groceries, 1% on everything else, up to $300
annually).
-Open an ING-direct savings account and earn 3.8% interest.
-Go to the library to get books and movies. At my library, nonficiton DVDs are free, and popular DVDs are $1. I'd highly recommend Frontline: Is Walmart Good for America?,
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, Chicago: City of the Century (American Experience), Frontline: Secret History of the Credit Card, The Sea Inside, and The Weather Underground (!!!!!). I'd recommend Collateral, Fever Pitch (if you like baseball), and Closer.
