Thursday Afternoon Open Thread

Sorry, guys, I wasn’t able to write anything for the AM…suggested subjects of conversation are:

1. Anyone creeped out by last night’s memorial service/pep rally?

2. Inflation is up. This is planned. No, seriously, it is what Bernanke wants. How stupid is this?

3. New claims for unemployment rose. I guess we turned the corner back to bad news?

4. The Chargers are not in the playoffs, so who really cares about football right now?
