I had someone in my office say outloud today that if things keep going the way they are going that Barack Obama could go down in history as the worst president ever, even more hated than W. I laughed a little and just got back to what I was doing. I have always been amused [...]

Ok. I need to quickly chime in on this whole New York Post cartoon thing.
Here is the cartoon in question:
Al Sharpton is all in an uproar about this and I guess I begrudgingly have to agree with Al this time for the first time ever.
When you are a political cartoonist you have to keep current [...]

Those funds could be used for people that really needed them. A million dollars can buy a lot of school books for other poeple’s kids.

I was scrolling through the depressing news on CNN about our economic future and as I was reading an artcile about 7,000 more people losing their jobs and executives taking pay cuts and wage freezes something occurred to me. What if this is that wall that everyone was talking about?

This recession, like pretty much every recession before it, has its genesis in some event or government policy that went financially wrong. People got burned and suddenly the market went crash and people started losing their jobs.

Hey man,
How’s it going?

I hope the link works because it is a brilliant piece of political baloney and I want to be sure my readers get a chance to savor the baloney flavor as well.

Have you seen those car commercials yet that have people in their late 30’s or early 40’s re-living childhood memories while looking at the new car they just got for Christmas?

Ok. That’s it. I’ve had enough.
Call me a “fair weather fan” or whatever makes you hardcore Bills’ fans feel better but I have seen enough of the Buffalo Bills to last me a life time. You all know that when Ralph Wilson passes on that the Bills are going to be sold to the highest [...]

There is a lot going on out there and some of it really makes me wish I had never accessed the news in any way. Last week a couple of kids were arrested because they had decided that it would be funny, cool, whatever to kill people based on the color of their victims’ skin [...]

No this isn’t about marital acts.
I got to thinking the other day about the stock market. I know I am not unique in taking the time to think about the stock market the last few weeks but I did notice something that I’m not sure many other people noticed.
