HOW TO BECOME A TOTAL FAILURE

My full-time occupation is print broker. I serve my customers printing needs by shopping the best values, arranging for and assisting the proofing process, attending press checks, following up on deliveries, and if needed, interfacing with the mailing house. When I’m busy I barely have time to breathe. Lately I haven’t been so busy–in fact […]

You can often guage the mood of the public by what the commedians are saying. John Stewart of the Daily Show doesn’t pull punches when it comes to politics, in fact he goes so far over the top at times, that even his faithful audience fans are surprised. Remember that Mr. Stewart leans so far […]

First let me say that I haven’t had a real problem with Vanguard. The funds have done better than many others. In downturns they haven’t lost as much and in the upswings they do better than the average. Vanguard seems to be one of the good guys, however, you knew this was coming didn’t you? […]

It’s season 8 on American Idol and this is the first year I’ve really watched it. I think there are 6 contestants who could all win the final prize and I was wondering how in the world we can choose between say, Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey or Lil Rounds and Allison Iraheta. They’re all […]

You’ve got to give him credit. President Obama isn’t just sitting behind his desk in the oval office luxuriating in his win. He’s out spreading his message. I heard his interview on Face the Nation yesterday (March 29, 2009). Bob Schieffer quoted Thomas Jefferson who said, “the presidency is a splendid misery.” Furthermore Schieffer said, […]

On this blog site we’ve been addressing the abuses of AIG. Democrat Paul Hodes of New Hampshire, got it right and created a war cry for the fight: “You know, as far as the American people are concerned, I think AIG now stands for arrogance, incompetence and greed.”
A few years ago I saw a news […]

Greenie Beanie is my pet term for environmental activists. What they have done and are doing to stir our consciousness has been a great service to the world. I appreciate that. Thank you.
The problem is they go too far, they rarely give credit where credit is due, and they tend to overstate the facts. Let […]
