JibJab and ThePartyParty.com put together this cool rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

Two disclaimers on today’s Friday Fun Video:

1. I don’t actually recommend freecreditreport.com. Instead, I recommend that you use annualcreditreport.com. And then for the other times during the year that you check your credit report, consider buying a triple report. They are usually less than $40 (and around $50 if you want your FICO score thrown in).
2. I enjoy a good trip to the Renaissance Fair as much as the next person. You get to dress up and eat junk food. Plus, I like to look at (and possibly purchase) weaponry.

Happy Friday!

I loved this SNL skit about the banks stress tests. Honestly, the bank stress tests were a bit of a joke, mainly because the government kept changing the analysis in order to placate the big banks.

Happy Friday!

I love this video of turning a dollar bill into a star. If I were a little more talented (and lived a little closer), I’d take a $50 bill, fold it, and then give it to my mom for Mother’s Day. Then I’d take her out to dinner. As it is, I’ve sent her a rather nice bouquet of flowers.

Happy Friday!

I loved this older clip from The Daily Show. Looking for investing ideas for these tough times? “Things you can eat” and “fire” are at the top of my list. After all, “gold is just a shiny metal”.

Happy Friday!

I loved the TurboTax commercials this year featuring the dead guys that are on our money. Now that Tax Day is past, and tax season is over for another year, I’d like to share one last commercial.

Happy Friday!

I loved this parody of “Mr. Sandman.” “Ben Bernanke, please send me some green.” I loved the “ching-ching-ching.” Corny, yet enjoyable.

Happy Friday!

If you want to know how things are, pay a visit to Sesame Street. I think Cookie Monster really is one of the best representations of Bernie Madoff.

Happy Friday!

I know it’s kinda serious for Jon Stewart. But it’s good, solid stuff.

Happy Friday!

That’s right: It you are audited, nothing can save you. Nothing but good, accurate tax records.

Happy Friday!
