The Indian Sensex Index (yes, that’s what it’s called, I swear) is hitting all kinds of record highs as reported in today’s Wall Street Journal. Now, you see, I don’t really read this paper - I just happened to look over someone’s shoulder while they were reading it. And yes, they were Indian. In any case, maybe I should stop blogging and start investing in some kind of Indian Index Fund.

If I had to guess, I’d say Jin is a dead man when the next season of Lost returns. Why? Because Daniel Dae Kim, the man who plays Jin, is the fourth Lost cast member to get arrested for some kind of driving violation in Hawaii. The other three are no longer on the show: Michelle Rodriguez (Ana Lucia), Cynthia Watros (Libby), and Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje (Mr. Eko).
Maybe ABC should invest in some taxis or limos or drivers or horses.

The very popular and exclusive “sharing” site has been shut down by British and Dutch police. Sad. Sad. Sad.

On this day 20 years ago, The Dow dropped 508 points from 2247 to 1739. An astounding 22.6 percent drop. The Black Monday decline was the largest one-day percentage decline in stock market history. It seems the market wants to see if it can break that record today. The market is currently down over 200 points. It would need to drop 3,162 points in total today to overtake the greatest percentage drop in history.
In related news, Joe Torre invested heavily in mortgage securities. In other words, Joe Torre will not manage the Yankees again in 2008. So enough with the saving face ploy and get back to work.

I need to see Leo rocking next to Willie next season. It doesn’t seem like a great fit, but it sure would make me feel good about our pitching staff. Bottom line is this: Omar, put your right hand on Rick Peterson’s shoulder, point the hand out and say “you’re fired.”
Here’s a link to the story on mlb.com. The story of Leo Mazzone and the Orioles parting ways.
