So, a few of us were having pizza the other day, a Fool event, and some of the guys said they didn't think this young guy could run from that room in the office, to a nearby deli, in 5 minutes. I was pretty sure this could be done in 4 minutes. Easy. Not even at an all out sprint. [more]

Stocks, looking tired after 3-month run, hit pause- AP

Chairman Jack Murtha (D-Pa.), who has a solid reputation for giving the Pentagon things it doesn't need, was once more concerned that the war fighters didn't ask for more. "You only put $2 billion into the budget," he complained about one project. "I assume you'll ask for more money?" [more]

If you have a golden, you know this is spot on. Pretty much for any big retriever-y dog, but it gets the golden retriever eyebrows and smile down amazingly well.

These guys just dropped the interest rate on my savings account again. That means it's now moved from 3+% to less than 1%. It's no longer competitive with money market accounts, unusual for them. [more]
