Uh, that would be OPEN: Small Business Network from American Express, thank you very much.

I'm wondering what happened to Jeffrey Chowdrow (sp?), the financier. He's just completely vanished. And speaking of Jeffrey, I found it highly amusing when the show would showcase the building his office was in -- Black Rock, aka CBS headquarters. But yeah, sexing it up would help -- the obvious question being whom with whom?

Two trainwreck posts in a row... There has GOT to be something better on the tube.

Sorry to admit that I watch this contrived train wreck, but since the cat's out of the bag... Did anyone notice that on last night's episode, when Gideon was called in, told to wear a suit, and then sent home without working AGAIN (probably re-edited footage from the last episode where the same thing happened), Rocco told him he couldn't work the door because seeing someone with an arm sling when they walk into the restaurant would "depress the patrons". I can only imagine how the clientele would feel if someone in, say, a wheelchair was working the door. Phhh. Discriminating based on a disability is so NOT COOL. Then again, Gideon is clearly faking, so I would send his whiney ass home, too.

It would if I actually had the Mitsubishi SUV and American Express Open card for my small business; the Coors is neglible.

Boy, this seems to really be bothering you. Maybe you ought to just relax, drive to the corner bodega in your MITSUBISHI, and buy a six pack of cool, refreshing COORS with your AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD. There, doesn't that feel better?
