Does anyone else feel that stock ratings are like DDR scores?

* They both go up to several A's worth and don't ever give F's. (Seriously, this page states that they give C's and D's to companies that "have already defaulted".)
* Getting higher grades seems pretty awesome.
* These grades are about equivalently as meaningful: pretty awesome if you can get high grades, but not indicative of anything useful. (How many people waste their time on DDR? How many people lose money investing in badly-high-rated stocks?)

Also, there seems to have been a gigantic air travel snarl yesterday, based on (and rippling from) weather and weather forecasts. This isn't looking good for the industry. A miraculously non-fatal accident, a disastrous fully-fatal accident, a semi-fatal accident, a proposal to charge for restroom use (from Ryanair), and a huge mess involving some 20000 people.

Finally, I'm finally convinced, after incubating criticisms from various people, that I should probably change the color scheme of my journal page.

Yeah, I know nobody reads my journal anyway. Heh. I have a friend who basically forces people to go to her journal in order to post comments. I don't like that feature, but I admit that it'd at least force people to look at her journal style.
