07:21 AM ET 08.06 | In taking his talents to South Beach, LeBron James may also be influencing a "boom in real estate." [Millionaire] Russell Wright and his wife dropped $4.2 million on the penthouse atop the luxury Marquis skyscraper -- three blocks from American Airlines Arena -- the same day LeBron announced his decision. That's the most spent on any downtown apartment so far this year, according to the article. Edgardo Defortuna, head of Fortune International Realty, says the LeBron effect is real but hard to quantify. He says 49 units at Icon Brickell have sold since LeBron's announcement, and July sales for downtown were nearly double the number in June. "I've had friends from South America call and tell me they'll buy an apartment," he says, "but only if I can find them Heat tickets first."

I hear Bernanke and the Fed are considering raising rates but they want to see how LBJ feels about it first.

It does make me feel better. LBJ is a great and talented basketball player with no heart and he's a quitter on top of it. Being able to post my hate for Lebron on here has been therapy for me. I think I'm getting better though. LOL....
