HOW TO BECOME A TOTAL FAILURE

The morning radio show - the radio from hell show on X96 - I listen to most mornings were going off on the inane movie sequels we will be subjected to this summer. Transformers 2, Ice Age 3 and so on. So I got a big laugh the other day when I opened my email and saw […]

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 […]

This morning I learned the results of Prudential Financial’s stockholder meeting. The stockholders did not accept the board’s recommendation to let the executives decide their own compensation without stockholder supervision.

My little blog last time about Prudential Financial showed up in Google’s top four. That’s good news and that’s bad.

Wells Fargo announced a profit and Wall Street showed signs of life. It didn’t matter that the $3 Billion profit was much less than the $25 Billion they received from the public. By my reckoning that still puts them $22 Billion in the hole, even if they gave the entire $3 Billion back to the […]

If you’re an NFL fan then you’ve probably have heard about former Atlanta Falcon’s quarterback Michael Vick and that he is in prison for running an illegal dog fighting operation. (If you don’t know that story, you may want to do a quick Google search and to get some story background).
I was listening to a […]

Republictarian–is a word I read today describing someone’s political belief structure. I think that has a good sound to it, don’t you? The republican part works for me because I believe in the republican ideals, although the party hasn’t done a very good job honoring those ideals. The party of less government, less taxes, and more […]
