…net income for 2007 of $3.46 billion, up 12.7 percent, on revenue of almost $23 billion. The evolution of McDonald’s mirrors that of the nation in which it serves 27 million customers a day. … McDonald’s exemplifies the role of small businesses in Americans’
upward mobility. The company is largely a confederation of small
businesses: 85 percent of its U.S. restaurants — average annual sales,
$2.2 million — are owned by franchisees. McDonald’s has made more
millionaires, and especially black and Hispanic millionaires, than any
other economic entity ever, anywhere.

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

This kid, Robert Hawkins, was a sorry-ass motherfucking excuse for a mass murderer. He killed only eight people before he offed himself–now what kind of a weak PG-13 body count is that? I walk into a crowded mall I ain’t coming out alive from, and you can bet your pimpled ass I’m taking out at least twice that. It ain’t worth my time unless I get NC-17. Might as well curl myself up in front of the TV and watch some ‘I Love Lucy’ reruns.
Speed Racer stars Emile Hirsch as the aspiring race car driver Speed, who, with help from his family (Mom and Pops played by Susan Sarandon and John Goodman), his girlfriend Trixie (Christina Ricci) and a little chimp named Chim Chim, builds the unstoppable Mach 5 and teams with the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox) to win the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible in order to save his family’s business and beat the evil Royalton at his own game. You can check out the trailer up top, or head on over to Moviefone to see it in glorious HD.
This is it. I'm not looking to become an Internet star, or buy a house off by adsense moneyz. Though I am willing to go with the flow on either.
