Newfoundland’s public donations hit the bartender

This one is no surprise - if you know how much Canadian Newfies love to drink.

A majority of public donations to poliitical candidates seems to have gone to the local bar to buy drinks for those candidates and their friends.

I guess they didn’t think these funds would get tracked, but Attorney General John Noseworthy (what any amazingly accurate name, eh?) has uncovered this scandal, and it looks like it will net dozens of political figures on “the rock”.

Newfoundland still remains the friendliest damn place I have ever seen.

Wen loses his head

Wen Mengjie, a guy that ran the computer group at the Agriculture Bank of China, has been executed.  He apparently had a lot of money, and it made people ask questions.  When investigated, suppliers complained of kickback requests in order to do business.

Since everything in China depends on what THE Party wants you to do, it must have been clearly communicated for them to testify.  After all, complaining in China normally gets you locked up or killed.

Obviously, Wen didn’t make friends with the right people.  If he had the right connections, surely no one would have noticed.

Angel at the World Bank?

It’s probably common knowledge that the World Bank is rotten.  Anywhere where money flows like that, you attract the snakes.  BTW, for anyone that is new to the world and wants to know how it all got so screwed up, spend a weekend reading Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed The World - it will make your head spin, but get you up to speed, pronto.

But we are here to highlight someone that seems to be non-corrupt.  Someone that seems to care about doing the right thing.  Heck, she might even care about others! Strange.

Suzanne Rich Folsom is the director of Institutional Integrity over at the World Bank, and from what we are hearing, she is doing a very good job.  This is such a strange thing, we think you should spend 2 minutes and read about her.

Andy Jenkins Regurgitates

Regurgitate - a big word that means puke.  Yes, Andy Jenkins has puked again.  One of the heads on the snake called Stompernet has run out of money, run back to the book store, and is back, puking crap that most people do not know about, unless you read SEO books, or are interested in website optimization.

The thing that completely pisses us off about Andy Jenkins newest puking adventure is his self-promotion antics.  Me! I am the BEST! I ROCK!  I AM SUPERSTAR!  Fuck off, Andy.  Try running an ad on google and use a superlative like “fastest”, “strongest”, and everything like that - they will tell you in no uncertain terms to piss off, and ask for you to be realistic.

If you want to baboozled by a short balding fat guy that likes to charge gazillions of dollars for outdated information, check out Andy Jenkins.

Bill Belichick didn’t know

Bill Belichick, the coach of the New England Patriots, apparently doesn’t know the rules of the NFL.
His team was found videotaping the opposing team during the game, and has been reprimanded,
but doesn’t seem to know what he did wrong. One guy said “we are a model team”.

What a freaking moral trainwreck…

Nancy Andrews

Nancy Andrews, the newly crowned queen of SEO, was recently spotted with her boobs taking the spotlight. Why? I have no idea!

She has put out a number of videos talking about how to get websites to the top of the search engines, and it seems to be useful information, so I don’t think sex is really needed.

Then again, sex helps sell everything.
