My View On “Timo Soini: Why I Don’t Support Europe’s Bailouts”
Mr. McFarlane,
words and their proper choice are important, and communication difficult even when the parties share common language. Will to understand why is communication important the key in communication.
I hope those willing to understand what Mr. Soini and the Finnish commentators are trying to say on these pages would give us a little bit of slack if we fail to understand or utilize Read More...
Analysis On “Turkey Threatens to Cut Ties With Israel”
Menahkehm Ebneh Yakov (Jacob),
You are either too naive or a manipulator to post these childish 3rd rated videos. You go to any slaved island in the world you can can't find a job one hotel that has luxury you depicted. You go to any slum dog neighborhood in any city and you will find one fruit shop that offers fruits. You think people believe you that Gaza is a free place? Even right now Read More...
My View On “Noonan: It’s Off to the Races”
What does it say about the GOP when the most promising Republicans do not want to run in 2012 tax brackets?
The GOP has taken it for granted that it will represent the Right in their Convention in 2012. There is a reasonable chance of the Tea Party having their own Ticket for 2012 which would all but doom the GOP's chances to win the White House.
With such possibilities and Americans finally Read More...
My View On “John Fund: The Net Neutrality Coup”
Obama has effectively implemented a program to bypass Congress and ignore the Courts when needed. His use of his Tzars in place of the Dept. Secretaries put unconfirmed peopel in the real power executive positions and puts them in tight control of Executive Branch operations. By the time a Congress or the Courts get a chance to stop his power grab it will be too late and controls will already Read More...

Criticism On “The Intelligent Investor: Why Changing the CEO May Not Change the Company”
Business performance, over a long period of time to negate the impacts of various one time events, is all about leadership, then management, in that order. In the short term, 3-5 years, a new CEO won't have much of an impact outside of market forces, competitive missteps and some luck. In the longer term, good CEOs get their companies into the right businesses, create the right culture, Read More...
Thoughts On “Stephen Hawking on God, Science and the Origins of the Universe”
Fascinating, and on point.
But, we still have to answer two fundamental questions: 1) Us, our solar system, our universe, and all the other known and unknown universes, exist in what? There is absolutely no analogue within any perceived nature, terrestrial or extraterrestrial, that would suggest something exists within nothing. And, 2) Where did the matter come from? If you believe in the Read More...
A Response To “Review & Outlook: Illinois Tax Firesale”
I own an engineering firm in Illinois. I employ 12 people and pay good wages and I used to pay 100% of my onboarding new employees medical insurance and their families. I never had to lay off any employees. This is the first year my employees have to pay some for their insurance, and who knows if we will be able to afford it 2 years from now. This is the first year we don't really don't have Read More...
A Commentary On “Blanks for the Memories”
I have a friend who is seeing a psychologist right now because she wants to know why she doesn't have many memories of her childhood, either, much like you.
I, on the other hand remember so much that it is sometimes amazing, whole conversations, like a tape recorder. I can see the people in my mind, but not really make out the details in most cases. Sometimes, though, I remember every detail, Read More...
Analysis On “Job Growth Accelerates”
Well said A.J. The optimistic side of me wants to agree with you and believe that things are getting better. However, my pragmatic side disagrees with you because, from an economic standpoint, things are getting worse as the mountain of debt and interest we are all buried under continues to grow. Here are a few stories that support my contention:
