Random BS-
Read in Travel and Leisure at the airport this weekend about PCLN. Apparently, PCLN has been subsidizing customers' bids in an effort to portray a higher number of customer transactions. For example, I bid $90 for 3 star hotel in NYC. They get it for me, but it actually cost them 140. They pay the difference and eat it so that it looks as if their method of madness is working. Wonder how long that scheme will last?

Heard on NPR that a former mob lawyer, Oscar Goodman, is running for mayor of Vegas, and the odds are that he will win. A year from now, when the mob is found to be running the city again, people will wonder how they ever elected a former mob lawyer to become their mayor.

ATHM got a shellacking this past week, eh? They've got to be at oversold territory. The Portland FCC's ruling ain't pretty and should be good for AOL, but is it truly that bad for ATHM and will that decision be held up in a higher court. We all know this is going to a higher court.
