Somewhere just south of the Erie Canal, in a small suburb of Buffalo, where a Starbucks can hardly be found, the American pioneer spirit is alive and thriving.  I am not referring to the rugged individualism of exploration and development, nor to the blind risk taking and abiding optimism that we associate with economic gain, […]

It gives me no pleasure to be in the company of the majority justices in the Supreme Court’s New Haven firefighters decision, Ricci v. DeStefano, (particularly that of Justice Thomas, who only days earlier was the sole justice to support the right of high school administrators to strip search teenage girls in search of pharmaceuticals, […]

The New York Times has it’s knickers in a knot because the Vatican is going to do an “investigation” of the convents in the US.
Such visitations are fairly routine: The Vatican just finished one on the seminaries, and is scheduled to do one on a church group whose founder was found to be swinging both […]

Once again the Bedwell and Thompson family were back in the courtroom on Wednesday. According to reports we have received it was a fairly interesting session with Dustin Thompson’s lawyer Sandra Amara not getting her own way, and apparently had a face like thunder upon leaving the courtroom.
The judge had called the hearing for 9am […]

Do you like the idea of a bank that works for you, one that can create specialized financial products that suit your needs? Well your president says ‘fugetaboutit’! Under Obama’s newly proposed Federal Consumer Protection Agency, banks will no longer be in business to meet meet your individual needs, they will be under strict control […]

Most people believe that happy employees are more productive, treat each other better and give better customer service.  That’s not true.
When human resource departments push employee satisfaction initiatives at work, too often they encourage the most selfish, negative and hostile employees to harass, bully and abuse coworkers and supervisors.
Of course, I’m not encouraging companies to […]

One way to shut down a website is to send repeated requests for information to a site, which overwhelms the computer server.
Often this is due to some big blogger (e.g. Drudge) linking to a site.
But more commonly it is due to a virus that automatically sends out the request over and over again, and although […]

It was another interesting 90 minutes. Haleigh Cummings has been missing for 4 ½ months, and there are few clues, just a bunch of talking heads. Actually most of the talking appears to be coming from one head, but we will broach that one later.
The panel this week consisted of the Barrett’s, Ms. Pickles, William […]

In this era of reduced real estate expectations and tighter lending it’s nice to know that taxpayers, via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), will be helping folks buy luxury condos deep in the heart of Jersey City, New Jersey. With a mere 3.5 percent down “qualified buyers”* can use loans supplied by FHA backed lenders […]

I wasn’t too surprised to see headlines in our local Manila paper that Michael Jackson had died.
Heck, sometimes the headline announces that x number of people passed the nurses’ examination this year, and usually under the headline is a photo of our lovely President.
But his headline is larger than usual, with a long story of […]

As the mother of two adopted boys, I am for adoption, but now we are seeing couples like Sarah JessicaParker andMatthew Broderick “renting” a womb to obtain their newest child.
What’s wrong with this picture? After all, they give money, and a woman is paid a lot of money to carry their (genetically related) baby to […]

I’ve always been an anti-union guy, mainly because unionization all but eliminates individual incentives to achieve. The concept of providing the biggest raises and bonuses based on performance is a basic (and necessary) concept for any business that wants to be successful — this makes unionization a formula for failure.
I know that back when unions […]

These are the raw unedited notes from TJ Hart of The Sky 97. Gainsville Florida.  Most of you likely only know TJ from his appearances on our radio show, I am privileged to say I know TJ a little more, I class him as a friend. I think these rough notes express quite eloquently the […]

Imagine the scandal.
A well known war leader’s body was taken from a cemetery on Federal land, and his skull used as an object of ridicule by the enemy. The family is requesting their return, but the bones are owned by a group that includes some of the most influential people in the land, so their […]

I haven’t seen the HBO series on the Tudors yet (HBO Asia is a year behind the US), but I find it interesting that the story is being revived and retold for today’s audience.

Now if only all missing children reports could end like this. I would much rather see one come to an end when the child is found like this one, when the child in question is found and was never in any danger at all. It is always a relief to hear about an abducted child found safe […]
