Eh, I'll tell you why a cell phone is a vital tool, and facebook is just another decaying social media app like MySpace... because even back in the 70's (assuming you had a TV), it was super-cool to see Capt Kirk, Spock, and McCoy using a Communicator: Everyone who saw that wished they...

The bottom line is that the Baby Boom generation has cashed in, and has put us on a direct course to third-worldism. And yeah, most of them will be dead when we are subject to a Sao Paolo/Rio type existence. Why the widening disparity? Well, there are a few producers and innovators and...

I am curious: Why is almost everyone mentioned or associated with the article Jewish? Did the author only collect quotes from members of his country club, or are well-off WASPs and Catholics just too smart to complain about money? Anyway, $350k in Manhattan is just middle class. And yeah, if...

They will also drink the blood of your children given the opportunity.

Sounds like a good management tool... encourage one bitchy employee to complain repeatedly and publicly, then take away the bonus plan because it creates too much conflict and contention: "Sorry folks, there have been allegations that the bonus plan is discriminatory. We take claims of...

How does a bonus plan specifically discriminate against one employee?

Yeah, who knows, maybe I gots poor reading skilz. My point is, it wasn't the lack of $8000 that was preventing her from starting a cottage industry of selling kitty litter from her garage/basement/bedroom. It was her brain (as in, lack thereof) that was preventing her from climbing out of an...

You sure you don't work for Amway? I had a cousin who kept trying to sell me detergent. Finally he gave up on the "entrepreneurial" life, and now he's moderately successful in sales for some IT consulting firm... good for him because he didn't have chops to sell detergent to friends and family...

Nah, you can't beat mother nature... Humans can't escape the Darwinian reality that we have genetic variety in our human population. Genetic variety functions to preserve the species and to pass forward the genes most "fit" for our environment. There will always he winners and losers whether we...

Well, at least she gets to look at that rusting Blazer everyday before she catches a ride to Ruby Tuesdays to fluff the lettuce at the salad bar and make sure there are enough tongs for the crouton bowl. Mother nature works that way... a small fraction of baby bluefin tuna make it to 1000...

Is she good looking? I would tell her to get the Chevy Blazer, and then I would date her, and let her drive me around and save my own gas money for my personal investments.... Total win-win situation: she gets an SUV and a boyfriend to get over the death of her mom, and I get sex, a free ride...

They had better beg A.G. Lafley to come back. That's a terrible ROI on advertising... spend 24% more on advertising and only get a sales lift of 6%? You'd figure that a company like P&G would have it's marketing analytics fine-tuned. You'd figure they are monitoring advertising response...

As a taxpayer, I understand your sentiment. On the other hand, that's the kind of logic that was used by the Communists against dissidents: "Who gave you that shirt that is on your back? Who grew the beets for your borscht that you ate for supper? I will tell you who: loyal Soviets! And now, you...

I briefly dated a girl with 6-pack abs (she was a fitness instructor). She had such a low fat-to-muscle ratio that you could see all the individual muscle bundles of her deltoids rippling every time she raised her arms or moved her shoulders. Anyway, 6-pack abs are over-rated... the sex...

6 pack? Pfft! I got a whole keg.

That mentality died when leisure suits, Plato's Retreat, and Studio 54 became stylish.

We "won" the Cold War, and more than a billion Chindians have been released onto the global labor market. Those Chindians want all the stuff that Americans have had for the last 60 years... they want refrigerators, and even an Avanti dorm room fridge is a luxury while Americans have been taught...

Never trust a hippie.

But TARP does.

Eh, the ability to opt out of SS, even at the age of 49, is a gift. That nurse is lucky... even if she doesn't have the brains to figure it out (and, do we really want someone that dull teaching our kids?). Look, SS is not a pension, SS is not an annuity, SS is not a guarantee. It's just a...
