I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of the current process used to elect public officials. Local, state, national, it makes no difference. The process is far too long, uses questionable “facts,” relies on negative campaigning and wastes too damn much money. How much?  According to the U.K.s Guardian, the Obama presidential campaign, including the transition and...

Corporate CEO’s like BP’s Tony “I want my life back” Hayward aren’t the only one’s susceptible to foot-in-mouth issues. Last Friday (Oct. 2) CNN fired Rich Sanchez after the daytime anchor called Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart a bigot onSirius-XM radio, then proceeded to imply that all the networks are controlled by Jews. “White folks usually don’t see it. But we do,” Sanchez told radio host Pete Dominick...

Mark that date in your iPhone calendar, people. Yes, right now! On October 30, 2010 an event of biblical proportions will…change… history! (No, not that Event, that’s on NBC.) I’m talking about an event that’s bigger than Lincoln, yes; bigger than Jefferson, yes; even bigger than Washington, himself! Throughout history, America has witnessed many great Americans coming together in solidarity to support American virtues,...

Does anyone listen anymore? When I was in school we went to class, listened to the teacher, had a discussion about what we thought, listened some more, thought some more, then prepared for the test. The great lesson for me in all this was to listen, gather and read relevant information, think, discuss with friends, listen some more, think some...

All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest. – Paul Simon, “The Boxer”       When it comes to the political talking heads crowding the media platform, who, if any, do we trust the most and the least? Are the facts important or is it all just entertainment? These are a few of the...

Ethics scandals continue to make the news. “California City Officials Arrested in Salary Scandal” (Sept. 21); “Clemens Lied About Doping, Indictment Charges” (Aug. 19); “P.R. Missteps Fueled Fiascos at BP, Toyota and Goldman,” (Aug. 22) Are companies paying attention to headlines, and are they making any attempt to reinforce the moral conscience of their own organizations?  » Read more about: Searching...

  This just may be the most explosive story of the last… 8 minutes! Men, right now, as I write this, my pants, you’re pants could be lying to you! “Come on, Jim. You’ve lost it, this time!” That’s right. You heard me correctly. You’re favorite ol’ blue jeans, Dockers, Calvin Kleins and others could very well be brought up on ethics charges.  » Read more about:...

Cindy Boren’s sports column in Thursday’s Washington Postcaught my attention.  She begins by giving us a refresher from the now famous Seinfeld episode where Elaine makes an unexpected confession to Jerry. (Go ahead, take a look. I’ll wait.) Boren’s column concerned Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter who – judging by the photo – was hit by a pitch from a Tampa Baypitcher in Wednesday’s game.  » Read...

Ann Coulter never met an incongruity or contradiction she didn’t embrace. In her 2002 book Slander, the conservative commentator rails against The New York Times for its misinformation and wanton liberal bias on 198 of the book’s 261 pages. “The Times regularly interprets standard Republican positions as fanatical, religiously based racist hate crimes,” Coulter writes.
