Like I’ve mentioned before, I have a concert tomorrow afternoon. It’ll be a good show, it’s free, and there will be munchies and drinks during intermission, so I’d encourage you all to come and scream and yell for your favorite local blogger.

Quote Of The Day
Appearing on CNN today, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked what has become a popular question, and a Democratic talking point, about his party: is Rush Limbaugh your leader?
Schwarzenegger, a former Mr. Universe and a moderate, responded thusly: “I think that they say that Rush Limbaugh is the 800 lb. gorilla in the Republican Party, but I think that’s mean spirited to say that because I think he’s down to 650 lbs., so I think one should be fair to him about this whole thing.”

Anybody Have Recommendations On A Small Business Credit Card?
I just got word this morning that Advanta, which was a highly rated small business credit card that I’ve used for years, is going under and is going to stop accepting transactions in a few days. I’ll have to find a new card ASAP to start running my business transactions through, and am looking for recommendations.
