Yesterday was a bad day in the financial markets. It was also a bad day for taxpayers – hello $85 billion dollar loan! I hope we get a good return… well… just a return on our investment. Some people had some fun with the plethora of reporters hanging around the financial district. Watch and [...]

Part of the elections process is pandering to the extreme ends of your particular political party while trying to gain as many votes from the undecided or the other parties.

I’m an enthusiastic fan of the Daily Show and I watch it whenever I have an opportunity. The writing is sharp, the jokes are funny, the satire is thick, and they always hit the nail right on the head. Last year, Americans voted for their most admired journalist – Stewart came in 4th. [...]

Political correctness has been on a rampage for years and it’s time to give it a rest.
