Not only has McCain suspended his campaign and is trying to postpone the Presidential Debate for Friday in lieu of the country’s financial crisis, but he hit the ultimate low yesterday when he cancelled his appearance on the David Letterman show 90 minutes before the scheduled taping. McCain apologized for his absence, "I have to go back and fix the economy. I'm going to get on a plane now and go." However, he did manage to appear on Katie Couric’s show that same day.
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/24/mccain-suspends-campaign-to-help-with-bailout/
Letterman wasn’t too happy last night, which is evident in his monologue, but he was hilarious! He did, however, divulge his respect for the war hero before cutting him down. This post is dedicated to the funniest parts of Letterman’s opening monologue in regards to McCain’s cancellation. As a disclaimer, I am not completely against McCain, I just don’t agree with how he handled this situation.
10 Quotes from David Letterman in Reaction to McCain’s Cancellation
1. “He had to cancel the show because he’s suspending the campaign because the economy is exploding.”
2. “Our people were told… he was racing back to Washington and now we’ve just been told that this is going live [cuts to a live taping of McCain getting ready for an interview with Katie Couric]. He doesn’t seem to be racing back to the airport, does he?”
3. “Something doesn’t smell right; this is not the way a tested hero should behave.”
4. “Somebody must have put something in his Metamucil.”
5. “Let’s say Sarah Palin takes over as President, she should be ready because she’s handled crises like this in the past. Oh wait she hasn’t handled crises like this in the past.”
6. “He can’t run his campaign because the economy’s about to creator, fine. But put in your second string quarter-back. Where is our 2nd string quarterback?”
7. “Let’s cut to the interview now. Hey, John I have a question, you need a ride to the airport?”
8. “It’s like we caught him in a manicure or something.”
9. “We’re told now the Senator is done with Katie Couric and on Rachel Ray’s show cooking chicken picata.”

Mayor May Dampen Cubs Postseason Celebration
Now that the Cubs have clinched the division (and home-field advantage)and are headed to the playoffs, the talk of the town is that Mayor Daley might ask BARS in Wrigleyville cut off alcohol sales after the 7th inning during the post-season play. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2008/09/wrigleyville-bars-asked-to-go-dry-after-7th.html
This is a TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE idea for MANY reasons, but I will outline just a few:
1. The proposal is most likely to be VOLUNTARY, which means no bar in their right mind will actually do it. The Cubs season is when Wrigleyville bars make most of their revenue for the year and if the bar next store decides to continue serving alcohol everyone will go there instead.
2. How will the city even begin to start regulating this??
3. People who actually live in the area and want to get a drink unrelated to the game will be punished as well.
4. Most people who go to the Cubs games take public transportation or live nearby, especially during playoff season so there’s not a greater chance that people will drive home drunk.
5. People will still do stupid things; cutting off alcohol sales at the 7th inning will not curb that.
6. What if the game goes into extra innings?
7. People will just move to find the closest bar that does sell alcohol and you will run into the same problem there.
8. We are not in high school anymore and the Mayor is not our parents.
9. People want to celebrate, let them celebrate. After all, This is The Year (and it only happens once in a lifetime).
10. What kind of a message will this sanction send about Chicago sportsfans to the rest of the nation? That we can’t handle ourselves? In that case, we should just kiss the 2016 Olympics good-bye!

Baseball, Football, My B-day, Halloween...
Yesterday, Sept. 22 was officially the last day of summer and the first day of Fall. Although I am sad to see summer (and the warm weather) go, there is so much to look forward to this Fall season! Here are a few reasons why I love the season (inspired by an article in the At Play section of the Chicago Tribune):
1. Homecoming.
2. Acorn squash, apples, pumpkin pie, hot chocolate.
3. Open windows, no heat, no AC.
4. Halloween - seeing all the kids in their cute costumes, an excuse to eat candy 24/7 and an excuse to dress up!
5. Fall smell & crisp autumn air.
6. Football season & tailgates! Go Mizzou!
7. Cubs post-season play! Go Cubs Go!
8. Snuggling up in a warm blanket on Sunday afternoons.
9. Red wine weather.
10. My birthday! I decided I'm turning 21 again this year...

Am I Marriage Material?
I was listening to B96 radio this morning on my way to work and the topic was “Why I couldn’t marry myself”, so that got me thinking. I kind of like myself (as conceited as that sounds) but the statement holds true. I could never marry myself or someone exactly like myself for the following reasons:
1. I know nothing about investing or really anything to do with finances.
2. I am NOT a morning person.
3. I’m a picky eater – especially when it comes to pasta & dairy.
4. I never get that “cute” morning hair look… it’s just always out of control.
5. I’m sometimes indecisive and need a second opinion before I make a decision.
6. I over-think easy situations.
7. I’m a little stingy with money and complain about not having it (a lot).
8. I’m a bad bags partner.
9. I don't like kids or pets (although everyone says it’ll be different when they are your own).
10. I take too many pictures (according to some people) but I just like to savor the happy moments!
Wait so am I dooming myself to be unmarried forever with this post? (Justin, take this with a grain of salt…)

Advice is My Graduation Present
My brother headed off to college (in California!) this morning and my gift to him was the following advice. (I'm sure he would have rather had money but I'm not exactly rolling in the dough...)
Below are some specific words of advice from a former collegian:
Sometimes it’s okay to…
· Stay out until 4 a.m. just because you can.
· Order in pizza twice in one day because you are too busy (or lazy) to go to the dining hall.
· Hit snooze until you barely have enough time to make it to class.
· Call in sick to your internship because you have too much homework to do!
· Go to your professor’s office hours three days in a row because you just don’t get it!
· Get a B – some professors are just jerks.
· Ask your roommate to clean up his freaking side of the room because it is disgusting.
· Join a study group.
· Suck up to your professors/ TAs.
· Give only 75% effort on an assignment because you just don’t have time!
· Have a dirty clothes basket and a dirty-but-you-probably-could-still-wear-it clothes basket.
· Call home because you miss it (although you don’t have to admit that to Mom & Dad at the time).
· Occasionally skip class & have a friend take notes for you.
· Stay in on a Friday night and watch movies because you are too tired to go out.
· Go out on a Tuesday night even if you have an 8am class on Wednesday (you can sleep later).
· Take 15-minute power naps or 3-hour afternoon naps.
· Start drinking coffee or caffeinated soda.
· Work on a project ahead of time because you have other plans around the due date.
· Put off working on a project until the last minute.
· Talk on instant messenger during class if the professor is a bore – but only if you don’t get caught!
· Sit in the back of the class every now and then.
· Sit in the front row and ask lots of questions because it is a subject you are very interested in.
· Do your homework at the beach.
· Be irresponsible occasionally.
· Take a vitamin every day to avoid getting sick – don’t learn the hard way…
· Root for the Cubs even though you are in California.
· Wear your swim trunks to class because you are going swimming right afterward.
· Carry your life in your backpack because your day is packed.
· Get involved in an organization just because it’ll look good on your resume.
· Join an organization because you enjoy it.
· Eat pizza for breakfast & ice-cream for dinner.
· Wear your Ipod around campus because you don’t feel like talking to people at 9 a.m.
· Say no to an invitation if you don’t really want to hang out with that person/ those people.
· Wish you were with your high school friends every now and then.
· Have the most challenging & the best experience of your life.

General Motors in the Media
Now that I am working (indirectly) for General Motors I think it is important to know what’s going on within the company so I’ve been paying more attention to when General Motors is in the news – both good and bad. It’s definitely been interesting to see the media’s perspective of the company. Anyway, here are some recent articles I’ve come across in regards to GM and my thoughts.
10 Articles on General Motors
1. Trouble with engines in Canada? Don’t worry, GM’s got you covered, you just have to know about it! http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080911/AUTO01/809110343
2. GM may change plans to close a Janesville plant after receiving an incentive package to keep the plant that provides jobs for so many citizens in the town. http://www.channel3000.com/news/17464031/detail.html

4. GM Saturn Outlook is the fourth crossover model for GM… http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/09/traverse_1.html

Work Hard At Work To Stay Working...
With the economy on the down swing, companies seem to be laying people off left and right. Rather than re-hiring, the companies are just redistributing the work to the current employees to save cash. With that in mind, it’s important to try extra hard to impress your boss if you want to keep your job.
Here are some good practices that I’ve noticed will help you stand out in the company & keep your job (even if it’s not your “dream job”).
10 Ways to Look Good at Your Job
1. Only work on personal things during your lunch break or before/after normal “work hours”.
2. Be on time (or even early)!
3. Ask your boss if they need help with anything before you leave or pack up for the day.
4. Do what your boss asks without arguing, no matter how irritating the task. If it’s something that you strongly disagree with, take the time to come up with a calm and rational explanation of why it is unnecessary.
5. Always bring a pen & paper to every meeting or to your boss’ office.
6. Don’t doodle or organize during meetings (this is particularly hard for me)!
7. Always try to have something to contribute at status updates or when your boss is asking about a specific topic.
8. More one-on-one contact with other co-workers, don’t always just send an email or instant message. Take the time to walk over to their desk or if strapped for time, pick up the phone.
9. If you see your boss rushing around, offer to help.
10. Communicate! When you have to leave early or are swamped it’s better to be up-front with your co-workers or superiors rather than them just assume things or get irritated later.

Let's Get Some Runs!
I think the Cubs might need a little pep-talk in the form of a blog post honoring the Cubs legacy and fans. Most of the Cubs Facts are snippets from a great book, For Cubs Fans Only Volume II, a collection of stories & antidotes from Cubs fans young and old. The book was compiled and edited by Rich Wolf; read the review here: http://www.metrospirit.com/index.php?cat=1993101070610360&ShowArticle_ID=11010608083841170

http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/
10 Great Cubs Facts
1. When Lou Piniella played minor-league baseball in Aberdeen, South Dakota, the team’s batboy was Cal Ripken Jr.
2. P.K. Wrigley and Milton Hershey were bitter business rivals. When Wrigley bought the Chicago Cubs, Hershey tried to buy the Philadelphia Phillies… and sell chocolate gum. Hershey failed in both efforts.
3. Carmella Hartigan was the oldest Bleacher Bum; she threw out an honorary first pitch in 1998 at the age of 96. She died in 2002 at the age of 100.
4. Greg Maddux made his Cubs debut in September 1986 as a pinch runner in the seventeenth inning.
5. The Cubs first night game was on 8/8/88.
6. Rogers Hornsby holds the highest single-season batting average in Cubs, Cardinals & Braves history. His lifetime batting average was .358.
7. Cubs Power was an LP that featured three Cubs players singing baseball songs to promote the Cubs in 1969. The flip side of the LP included Bleacher Bum cheers.
8. More NFL games have been played in the Meadowlands than in any other stadium. Until 2003, Wrigley Field held the record, even though Wrigley had not hosted an NFL game since 1971.
9. Beginning in 1893, the Cubs won four pennants in five years and two World Series.
10. Orlando Merced had only ten at-bats as a Cub, but on September 12, 1998, Merced hit a three-run walk-off HR to win a game against the Brewers 15-12.
10 Cubs Fan-isms
1. One of these years it WILL happen, the Cubs will go to the World Series. I just hope it will be “Just Once in MY Lifetime.”
2. To me being a Cubs fan means being optimistic. It means being able to find good in bad. It means simply enjoying the moment.
3. I am still the longest-suffering Cub fan. That’s the real Cub curse.
4. Just another day in The Friendly Confines!
5. The Cubs could lose all 162 games every year, and I will forever be a Die-Hard. It’s unconditional love. Maybe next year…
6. Go Cubs go! Go Cubs go! Hey Chicago, what’d you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!
7. Oh maybe they’ll be good this year! (uttered after the first win of the season).
8. We had gone to Comiskey Park when we got free tickets. My family wouldn’t have paid money to see the White Sox.
9. Cubs fans get so comfortable with the way the team is that it’s hard to find one thing that you would change. It becomes a part of your existence…
10. There’s always next year (hopefully we won’t need to use that this year!)

A New Season, A New Outlook
At the risk of sounding like an old lady, I can’t believe it’s already September and the summer is almost officially over! But a new season means new beginnings & new events to look forward to. So in the midst of Cubs games, Mizzou football games, going to the city & fun visitors I will be working on a few personal goals in honor of a new season:
10 Personal Goals for this Fall Season
1. Take more pictures with my family, Justin & my friends – after all a picture is worth a thousand words!
2. Learn more about the Mizzou football players so I can feel semi-knowledgeable when promoting the team!
3. More family time – invite them to events and suggest more activities.
4. Be more positive in general – especially when talking about myself, current situation, experiences and others!
5. Continue to stay in touch with my friends who move away – especially those that move to China!
6. Ask more questions – about other people’s life & things I don’t understand even at the risk of feeling foolish.
7. Stop biting my nails!
8. Don’t rely on email as much at work – reach out to people face-to-face.
9. Be more cautious about doing personal stuff at work.
10. Be more money-conscious. Save for the important things, like Homecoming ;)
