Out of the Blue

[Jul 11, 2011, 09:34 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Happy 7/11! As always, those with access to a participating 7-Eleven location can help them celebrate the occasion by picking up a free Slurpee. The forecast calls for it to hit 93 °F today in these parts, so I have a feeling a lot of locals will be availing themselves of this offer.

Well, most of the masses are fiddling while Rome is burning. Just ask yourself if the country was better off pre-MBA or post?


No offense, but that's never a good question to ask. I would sometimes hear something said like that from racists and such as well. NOT that I'm comparing Cutter's comments to that... just that I HATE it when someone says "was the country better off before or after X"

Technically you could say that about anything if the timing works even a little.

The US was in better financial shape before?

  • The iPhone became popular... darn you Apple

  • Lenovo bought the Thinkpad brand from IBM... darn you China

  • Bill Clinton messed up a blue dress... darn you Bill/Monica/etc

  • The Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2002... darn you Vinatieri

  • etc
