Move Your Money, If You Have Any
There is a new movement currently being propelled by the support of former conservative commentator turned California gubernatorial candidate turned liberal blogger Arianna Huffiington, Bill Maher and others called Move Your Money. It’s catching on so fast that one of the organizers appeared with Stephen Colbert recently
Move Your Money is a campaign to take money out of the “too big to fail” Wall Street banks and bring it to Main Street banks. The site provides a search engine where one can find nearby banks with a high IRA bank rating. (No, we didn’t know what meant until a few seconds ago.)
So convinced are we at Chortler that we are going move the five dollars a month we make from the website to the closest small bank near our headquarters at the Walla Walla Greyhound Bus Terminal. Heck, even if it means giving up our ATM card, we still get that five bucks a month insured by the FDIC.
The Stephen Colbert Bridge
Hát ez nem igaz! Two of our favorite things — the brilliant comedy of Stephen Colbert and the wonderful
country of Hungary — have come together this week.
A couple of weeks ago a number of news sources picked up on the story that Hungary was holding a vote to
name a new bridge across the Danube. Chuck Norris soon became the frontrunner and the story really picked
up steam from there. Now Stephen Colbert his throwing his hat into the ring.
In the interests of full disclosure, this sorry excuse for a Web site actually got its start in Budapest. And we do make an effort to follow news from Magyarorszag as closely as we possibly can. Yet this is the first time in recent memory we have seen this much coverage in the America press dedicated to Hungary.
