Don't count on your credit card!

Citibank (and others) are cancelling people's credit cards without letting them know ahead of time. Reportedly the cancellation came because of something on the people's credit report. No big balances.

(article can be found here... at least for a while.

In their greed the credit cards are cancelling accounts for those who pay on time and carry small, if any, balances. No balance, no interest collected. No balance, no HUGE late fees. And without interest and fees, how will they be able to pay their CEO 30 million dollars in bonuses. Life is so hard sometimes.

I hope it all backfires on them big time. Maybe credit will become a thing of the past and we'll be paying in cash. How refreshing that will be.... if you have any cash on hand.

Can't keep it zipped up

So... Letterman is the latest to have his various affairs with staff members made public. Someone tried to exhort $2 million but the only thing it got them was arrested.

It comes as no surprise to me and I suspect its no surprise to anyone else either. I'm just not sure which is more powerful in a man's life... sex or money.

Watching Letterman come on to females on his shows was ... was typical I guess. And embarrassing to watch. Each time I noticed it I wondered how it made his wife feel. But after a 20+ yr relationship, no doubt she's use to it. I think they married only to make their child legit in legal matters. They could have a good relationship going for all I know. And by 'good relationship' I mean she knows he screws around and has come to terms with it. But now that its public knowledge it might change things. She'll have excellent terms to take him to the cleaners. Maybe he'll have to give up a few of his silk suits.

Its just a ho-hum piece of news.
