Blog Showcase!
Another week, another great blog to showcase…the star this week is Credit Withdrawal. I like this blog because of the intelligence and humour of the author behind the blog. Randall is a very funny guy and can quote the Simpsons at will – what more do you want? Well another great thing he does is to put up “de-motivational” posters for every post which are worth checking out by themselves. Feel free to sign up for his feed.
Some posts I liked:

- Bring out yer debts – Bernanke meets Monty Python.
