Facebook Sells More Than Your Face
Facebook is the evil empire! People just don’t get it. This company makes money by ‘sharing’ your personal data, not ‘protecting’ it. You need to adopt the mindset that everything you post is available to everyone, or soon will be. … Continue reading
Iran No Fan of Paul the Octopus
Paul the octopus of World Cup fame has a new detractor. Iranian President Amadinejad calls Paul a symbol of western decadence. Uuh…ok. Any other ridiculous assertions you’d like to make? How about the one where Iran has ‘free elections’? He … Continue reading
Nissan Recalling the Cube for Being ‘Square’
The Nissan Cube is being recalled in the U.S. They say it’s because of a fuel leak but I think its because this car is butt ugly! I can’t see the attraction in these tiny little boxes. Same goes for … Continue reading
To Russia With Love
Looks like BP is sending CEO Tony Hayward to Siberia! Is that better than being fired? If I were him, I’d just prefer your basic ‘golden parachute’ and ride off into the sunset. You never know. Maybe he picked up … Continue reading
Big Business Whining
Steve Forbes thinks the Obama administration is anti-business. I prefer to think of it as pro-constituent. Big business, when left to their own devices, drives greed to excess. They describe it as ‘shareholder value’ but shareholders always seem to get … Continue reading
The USDA Grows Mismanagement
I don’t know if USDA Agriculture Secretary Tom Vislack was the real culprit or someone higher up but this foul-up is inexcusable. Any manager worth his pay knows better than to jump to conclusions without the facts…especially regarding personnel decisions! … Continue reading
Ben Spooks the Market
I always hate when Ben Bernanke talks to Congress. Too many ignorant Congressmen asking too many self-serving questions and before you know it, Ben’s says something slightly negative and investors all swoon. It’s like sheep leading other sheep right over … Continue reading

Three Cups of Tea or Three Blind Mice?
An unlikely book, Three Cups of Tea, is making the rounds among our military leaders in Afghanistan. Apparently it helps reinforce the need to engage the Afghan elders to build bridges with the civilian population. One of their main concerns … Continue reading
South Africa Hosts a Cup and Wins a Jug
Louis Oosthuizen (WUHST-hye-zen) from South Africa won the British Open by 7 strokes to etch his name into the golf history books (and on the Claret Jug). He came out of nowhere to beat the worlds best at the home … Continue reading

Goldman Sachs Are The New Untouchables
So much for the much touted lawsuit against Goldman Sachs for questionable trading practices. These guys really do run the country. A few phone calls, some gentle public flogging, backdoor meetings and voila! A meager fine (based on what they … Continue reading
From World Cup to Claret Jug
Check out these pics as golfers practice for the British Open in Scotland. The weather has not been a factor the past couple of years but this year looks to be much different. Wind and rain are forecast thru the … Continue reading
Greed is an Impediment to Learning
This is a sad article that calls out the lessons unlearned from the Exxon Valdez incident some 21 years ago. This is a major fault with free markets…they are unwilling and unable to police themselves. You need the government to … Continue reading
LeBron’s a ‘Free’ Agent, Get Over It
All this fuss over LeBron James is just so much blather from a bunch of hypocrites. The guy has a right to play for any team he wants. He gave Cleveland seven years…that’s plenty. The Cleveland Cavaliers owner had his … Continue reading

World Cup Reigns in Spain
Tough game for the World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands. The Dutch were particularly aggressive with a ‘kung-foo’ style kick in the chest by one of their players that should have brought out a red card (automatic game … Continue reading
