Just came across your blog -- excellent, first-rate, and my only complaint is that it sets the bar so high for the rest of us. But this is life, I won't ask the government to try to equalize things. Doug

I'd argue if I could, Mrs. Enright.

Greatest. Blog. Ever.

I really love your blog and always look forward to reading what you have to say. But, I just have one small suggestion: how about changing up your picture on the "about" page? Please don't misunderstand me, it's a wonderful shot and certainly does you justice. But your fans would like to see Flip in other sorts of poses or perhaps in interesting settings. That's just my two cents. Take it or leave it. Either way, I just like looking at your lovely mug.

Two guys and a blog. So very romantic, in a Republican, Larry Craigish sort of way. Which one of you is the top?

Homophobia is so much quainter when displayed by liberals, isn't it?

Is it not Mr. Mark Williams the husband of Mary Sue Williams, who was last year's CNBC contest winner ? If so, why is she not competing this year ?? AL

Hi Thirumurugan: Congratulations. Two days in a row #2, and now # 1 spot ! Your name sounds like Tamil. If so, which city in the state of Tamilnadu are from ? AL

Hi Flip, Thanks for your help on the CNBC contest!!! Saves a lot of research time. Joe

Hi Flip, Keep up the good work on the CNBC Trivia ! Is it ERIN BURNETT's effect that an Indian is leading the CNBC contest as of 5.15.08 close ?? AL

Posted by: AL | May 16, 2008 2:27:13 PM

Hi...everybody ! THE CNBC SERVER IS DOWN....UNABLE TO PLACE ORDERS AS OF 03:50 PM TODAY....!

AL, Good Guess. I am from the city of Salem in Tamil Nadu.

THE GREAT AMERICAN RIP-OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had been reading the CNBC rules of Million Dollar Challenge 2008. The Grand Prize winner will receive $50,000 and the rest will be paid in installments over a period of 20 thousand years...which means you would have to live through ice age,stone age and a portion of Medievel Times......!!! Good Luck !!!

Is Ms Nancy Beaumont playing this year's game ? ;)

Posted by: AL | May 30, 2008 11:42:14 AM

Thanks for the help with the CNBC contest...what a time saver! So far, I'm #299 on the contest ~ that with making some incredibly bad calls and doing a horrible job with currencies. I would have been better off following your green highlighted recommendations. Keep up the good work.

Time is money and you save both keep up good work, Go Boston.

Flip, I tried three times to vote for your business blog, but each time both firefox and ie 6 just went into long term spins. This happens every time I visit your site. The site takes a good 15 seconds and more to load. After loading, it takes forever to scroll down to the various topics. You might want to get your money back from the web site designer or require him build you a site users can access. I think you have good content but the ads kill the speed. Ed

Flip and Gindu? This site is awesome! I am so glad I stumbled upon it. It's so nice to find fellow conservatives out there in this crazy world. Even better when I know they are such nice guys. And if you are curious as to my real identity I suggest messaging me on my blog. I'll just say that Gindu and I spent many many hours studying together as the math foursome.
