So funny...Bush's youngest brother is getting divorced. It looks like he's doing quite well just because he's Dubya's bro. Also, you gotta love this quote: The Bush divorce, completed in April after 23 years of marriage, was prompted in part by Bush's relationship with another woman.

Well, back when I bought my Tivo back in September of 2001 (right after I got laid off), I opted for the lifetime subscription for $200, instead of paying $10 a month for service. So it was a little bit of gamble....If Tivo went out of business before 20 months went by, I'd lose....anything after 20 months, I'd win. Well, I'm now at 25 months, so I made it. My Tivo service is effectively free. Hahahahaha. I finally made a wise investment. ;)
