Rejecting a wealthy businessman’s testimony that he told a California woman about his genital herpes infection before they became sexual partners, a jury has ordered him to pay her more than $6.7 million for negligent transmission of the disease.

The award includes $2.75 million in punitive damages, which means the jury concluded that Tom Redmond, 77, acted outrageously and recklessly in failing to advise Patricia Behr, 56, that he was infected when they began having sex in October 2003. She tested positive for the virus after they broke up in July 2004.

The trial in Riverside County (Calif.) Superior Court lasted 11 days, with the jury also awarding Behr $2.5 million in compensatory damages for future medical expenses and $1.5 million for pain and suffering.

The National Bureau of Economic Research said today that the U.S. has been in a recession since December 2007, making official what most Americans have already believed about the state of the economy.

The NBER is a private group of leading economists charged with dating the start and end of economic downturns. It typically takes a long time after the start of a recession to declare its start because of the need to look at final readings of various economic measures.

With more jobs lost, personal income declining, housing market crisis, banks failing, and credit markets tightening I have been using the word recession for months. I hope it does not take the NBER another year to realize we are slipping into a depression.

Our economic state is sad. With the holidays ahead and people scared to spend money it is not looking good for our economic future. I hope Obama can really make a change or that “D” word will be used freely. That “D” word is Depression.

Furthermore, I think we should prosecute President Bush for lying to the people about weapons of mass destruction. He destroyed our country for his own personal benefit. How many companies does President Bush have ties to that have profited from his presidency? How much money has he made during his presidency? I can’t seem to find this information. Our country has been run by a lying thief and he should pay. They should take his personal assets to help pay off debt the he has caused. I can imagine he has made plenty from oil companies alone.

I am sure you still remember the whole financial crisis occurring a few months back. Major investment and banking firms closing their doors for good. And we still continue to see our economy domestically and globally spiraling downward. As for the $700 Billion the government decided to give Wall St.

Where did that money go? Better yet where did it come from?

Naturally the money is coming from taxpayer’s pockets. As a taxpayer you are probably wondering where the money went? I am not quite sure because the government is still giving more money to Wall St., for example AIG was granted an additional $37.8 Billion on 10/9/08 on top of their original $85 Billion on 9/16/08.

Now the car companies want a bailout. How about bailing out the U.S. taxpaying citizens that are truly hurting. Everyday you hear more stories about friends, family, and others losing their jobs, homes, cars, credit, and more… It doesn’t seem like the government is ready to bail you out.

So why doesn’t the government bailout the American people? Better yet how could the government bailout the American people?

Not sure why the government chooses to bailout criminals on Wall St. but not you or me. Just think if the government granted each taxpaying citizen a check for $100,000 you would be able to keep your home, car, and credit up to date. Small business owners would have money to invest into their company which would boost our economy. This would create jobs and a boom in the U.S. economy.

As for people who don’t pay their taxes or cheating the system. They would miss out on this opportunity. And people who don’t know how to manage money well will just blow it but at least it will be going back into the US economy. Because I have not seen a dime of that $700 Billion they gave Wall St.

Although I have seen my stocks plummet to nothing, my 401K become a disaster, and all my other living expenses have gone up while my pay checks stay the same…. This is not the American way… I am sure our founding fathers are rolling in their graves!

Sirius XM stock closed today (11/20/08) at a disgraceful .14 cents. Stock symbol SIRI is going to fall off the stock market soon. It is scary because the product is amazing. Just think you can have the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, College sports, NASCAR, PGA, Soccer, Horse racing, Sports talk, Commercial Free Music, Howard Stern, Covino and Rich (Maxim Radio), BTLS, Mad Dog, Martha Stewart, Oprah Winfrey, Opie and Anthony, Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, Eminem’s Shade 45, Siriusly Sinatra, Tom Petty’s Buried Treasure, Willy Nelson’s Place, BB King’s Bluesville, Everything Elvis, Bob Dylan’s channel, Medical channels, Religious channels, News channels, Traffic, Political channels, Comedy, Talk radio, Music from the 50’s to today, and more.

How is this stock only .14 cents? The stock is only .14 cents because the government would not allow these company’s to merge on a proper schedule. This merger was delayed so long it became the longest merger in the history of our country. We are talking about satellite radio. This is not necessity and there is plenty of competition with Ipods, terrestrial radio, CD’s, MP3’s, internet, cell phones and other ways to receive music.

It’s not like letting Exxon Mobil the largest oil companies merge with no problem. Then I have to pay over $4.00 for a gallon of gas. Great job government. You never seem to surprise me. Is there anything in this country that is not corrupt? Seems like corruption has reached everything. I bet our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves as this country spins out of control.

A lawsuit filed against Victoria’s Secret claims the brand’s popular bras are responsible for injuring customers, causing rashes, hives and even permanent scarring, ABC News reported Tuesday.

Ohio resident Roberta Ritter filed a lawsuit against the company May 14, claiming the Angels Secret Embrace and Very Sexy Extreme Me Push-Up bras she purchased made her sick.

“I had the welts … very red, hot to the touch, extremely inflamed, blistery. It itched profusely,” Ritter, 37, told ABC News. “I couldn’t sleep, waking up itching.”

Ritter’s lawyers said they purchased the same bra types named in the suit and had them tested at a lab. The tests revealed that the bras contained formaldehyde, a chemical used in embalming. The lawyers believe Ritter may be allergic to formaldehyde.

A Victoria’s Secret spokesperson said the company is investigating the complaints and released this statement:

“We are sorry that a small number of people have had an issue and we want to help them determine the cause. Customer safety and satisfaction are always our primary concerns and we take seriously any issues our customers may have with our products.”

As we all know Sirius and XM was finally allowed to merge. Although it was the longest merger in the history of our country (about 17 months) it did not help their stocks. The Department of Justice took there time on this decision unlike important ones such as Exxon Mobil. As they took there time both companies stocks began to fall. Now the stock is only worth about .27 cents.

So I wonder how much money Howard Stern loss in Sirius stocks. Howard Stern signed with Sirius in 2004 for a 5 year contract worth $500 million. He was then paid approximately $200 million in stock in January of 2006 along with his agent Don Buchwald who was giving about $20 million in stocks. It is reported that the two did sell their stock options and cashed it in. In January of 2007 Howard was rewarded $83 million for subscription growth. Now remember when Howard Stern started at Sirius on 1/9/06 Sirius stock was at $6.57. It is now worth about .27 cents. So how much did Howard Stern lose in Sirius stock?
