Jukebox Sermon: Hilarious.
This guy gets really passionate about Jesus wearing PANTS. And dissing some other preacher. And providing some awesome Bible quoting action. Ooh! And some "wasn't the camping trip fun?" Amen. AND some Biblical spelling lessons. And THEN some wicked generation sleazy bare midriff action. Finally he incorporates how evil men-dress-wearing started with Islam. Just a pants full of hilarity I say! Someone better reach back in history and ship this guy a pair of men's Biblical pants. Say HI to Jesus wearing his trench coat.

Definitely quote of the day...
"He was tasty, loving and romantic," says Maria Gracinda Teixeira de Jesus, 77, a former beauty queen and dancer, of the young John McCain, whom she met in Rio de Janeiro in 1957. ... The former model was tracked down by Brazil's O Globo newspaper and said Saturday, "He was a lovely person and loved to go out with me. I called him 'John' but he was my dear and my coconut dessert."
I'm still crying I'm laughing so hard...

Props
I must say, Christian Siriano (winner of last season Project Runway) put together the most stunning line of clothes I have ever viewed. I'm not an expert or anything, but go take a look. Wow.

Filed under: FEELING CONFIDENT ABOUT A DECISION
AIG set for $20bn financing plan
AIG shares have fallen around 80% since the beginning of the year.
The State of New York has announced a "multi-billion dollar financing plan" to stabilise the finances of American International Group (AIG).
Under the plan, the insurance firm will be able to gain access to some $20bn (£11.1) by transferring assets in subsidiaries to the parent company.
The move required state approval but Governor David Paterson said no federal or state funds would be used.
Shares of AIG ended 60.8% lower, to close at $4.76 Monday.
Before Mr Paterson's comments they had fallen as much as 71%.
"Wall Street's continuing problems should serve as a stark reminder that this recession is far from over. New York State has taken the first step towards helping to stabilise AIG, which is otherwise a very healthy company," said Mr Paterson.
"On a state level, we were able to reach a market-based solution that will stabilize AIG at no cost to New York taxpayers," he said.
He added that policyholders and their insurance policies would be safe.
AIG is under pressure to raise capital after posting three quarterly losses in a row totalling $18.5bn (£10.3bn).
The New York Times reported over the weekend that AIG was seeking a $40bn emergency bridging loan from the Federal Reserve, the US central bank.
AIG's stock has fallen following losses tied to worsening credit markets.
'Unprecedented days'
AIG, like many other financial institutions, has suffered because of investments hit by the housing slowdown and an increase in defaults.
The slide in AIG's share price came after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and Merrill Lynch was sold to Bank of America.
"AIG was until recently the world's largest insurance company. It provides over a hundred billion dollars of capital to banks, and it is in trouble too," said Jon Moulton at Alchemy Partners.
"These really are unprecedented days."
I don't like to blog about job specifics, but, BOY do I feel snazzy today about leaving my Merrill Lynch centered department within AIG six months ago. What do you think?
