all dead



Reading the Bernie Madoff story on yahoo just now. Also watched the ABC video of folks who "lost" their never-gotten gains. For Madoff, the cash he kept would be considered ill-gotten gains?
The other folks are suffering because their greed didn't work out right. Madoff will suffer in the fed pen for his greed.

Then I did a little Madoff math to entertain myself. I love a puzzle like that--there's no way that everybody lost everything. Anybody that cashed out before the end did just fine. Madoff lived the high life. But there's nothing he could have bought to account for the money he took in.
$171,000,000,000
being all gone now. Some of that $171 billion must be laying around liquid somewhere.
...but that's not what this post is about.

So I scrolled back up, and noticed the top yahoo searches right now:
billy mays .. michael jackson .. neverland ranch .. gale storm

They're all dead. Even the ranch. Bernie might as well be; he'll die in prison.
Rest in peace, y'all.

And the rest of you all should get a little bit of life while you can. Look up something that's still alive. Do something.
