So I've accepted a job...

For anyone out there who doesn't know yet, I've accepted a job in Philadelphia with Global Insight, a firm that deals in economic and financial forecasting and analysis as well as consulting services. This opportunity will allow me to develop my skills, gain valuable experience, and have my foot in the door with a very well known economics firm. This position fits my background very well. Of course, I'll be graduating with a B.S. in Economics, and reflecting my minor in Spanish, I'll be compiling data from Latin American sources and answering help desk questions from Spanish speaking clients. In addition, while I worried somewhat about the practical application of those three semesters of Korean that I took, one of the first things Global Insight is doing is enrolling me in a class to develop those skills (Korean speakers are very much in demand). While I've often thought about how I might have done things differently, I've managed to find a job that reflects most major facets of my university education.

A reprisal!

Ah, the good ol' days of when SNL was funny. Here's a clip of John Stewart interviewing Will Ferrell (reprising his role of G.W. Bush) on a recent Comedy Central benefit for autism research. You have to scroll down a little bit to watch it...

Not really your "average Joes"

I usually only agree with about half of what CNN's Roland Martin writes, but this piece was a pretty interesting look at the political game.

This is why you need a big dog...
