It’s terrifying how many Americans are eager to prove that this was a terrorist attack, just to orchestrate some declaration on President Obama. People are wondering why there is a base that isn’t covered in military with rifles, but have these idiots ever been to a base? Its a huge community, with schools, homes, stores, etc. There is no necessity to have every human on the base with a gun. I just wish Americans would just wait to comment on this tragedy, when they were given the facts, as opposed to spouting their hateful nonsense against one political party or the other.

It’s now 12 dead and 31 wounded, with one confirmed shooter (dead) and two more shooters apprehended.

Do Yankees fans exist?

I must have seen hundreds of people while riding the subway and catching the train to Grand Central. Many of them were wearing hats. Here’s what I saw:

- 2 Yankees hats
- 1 Mets hat
- 1 Cleveland Indians hat
- 2 Red Sox hats (my own excluded)
- 1 Red Sox 2007 World Champions hat

Hats aside, I saw ONE guy wearing a Yankees jacket. For a team that claims to have lots of “true fans,” I’m finding it hard to believe when you can’t even tell the day after you win the freaking World Series.

I’m a true fan, and I have a Yankees hat… but it seemed kind of corny to wear it today.

Waiting for their payroll to balloon above 300mill? :)

How does all you can eat affect consumption?

There’s probably a study out there that’d answer this for me, but I’ll ask anyway. Let’s say every month I buy a $89 unlimited subway pass and ride the subway 89 times. My effective cost for a subway trip is $1. If I had the option to buy a $1 ticket, how much would I spend a month? I’d probably spend less by making active choices to avoid the subway. Not sure whether the true value (less mobile on subway = less happy) would be worth it, though.
