- Even I think that picture is funny.
- I caught the resurrected CBS News show Person to Person last night and I think I’m going to make that regular viewing. It’s a much classier version of MTV’s Cribs. Last nights show was an interview in George Clooney’s house, and that is one mighty fine house. I also learned that Warren Buffett’s father was a four-term Republican congressman.
- A Buffett quote I recently saw in a restaurant, ” It takes 20 year to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.”
- The best television news reporter I’ve found as of late is Clarissa Ward of CBS News. She not afraid to be in the middle of danger which is apparent from her stories in the Middle East, appears brave and tough, provides plenty of substance and background information, and appears fluent in several languages as I’ve heard her interview many people in several languages. I think she’s right up there with Lara Logan.
- A saying that has grown on my nerves, “I know, right.”

4 years of private Christian college + 4.5 years of seminary + careers that haven't paid much = tons of student loan debt that's finally catching up to me. I'm on a payment plan starting the end of this month, but it's more than my mortgage (which is admittedly cheap, but still…). I really hate student loans.
I thought this was a great post on the subject of student loans <a href="http://(http://tinyurl.com/7zttbjj)” target=”_blank”>(http://tinyurl.com/7zttbjj). As someone that is involved in the financial counseling ministry at my church I know that many, if not most people that use student loans never consider their long term impact. They just assume that they must get a college degree and sign up for loans because that is what everybody else does. I don't think parents owe their kids a college education, but I do think they owe their kids sound advice on avoiding student loan debt.
That hand dryer button is hilarious! A conservative with a great sense of humor… a rare bird! 🙂
I agree that the student loans can definitely be the next debt crisis on our hands. I went to school too late to earn all the great scholarships that were available at the time of my senior year, because I had landed a full-ride at that time, which ultimately got yanked 2 weeks before I left for school. However, when returning to school & earning my Bachelor's degree Cum Laude, then earning my Master's with very high marks – I have a very high student loan debt. It's more than I make in a year. Fortunately, i was able to consolidate them before this "plan"…however, the problem is this new "plan" doesn't help people that currently have the debt…but only those who are currently deferred because they are in school. No bueno!
