The 116 banks receiving emergency bailout funds from the government doled out some $1.6 billion in executive compensation in 2007, even as these corporate leaders led their companies and the US financial system over the brink. The same is seen at multinational US automakers, where GM CEO Waggoner's ...

I wondered when this was going to happen. As distribution of early news gets more wide spread (from the two big papers in town to all uhhh hundred million bloggers), I could see the holes appearing in the dyke. Tech Crunch has posted their new policy which is that they’ll agree to any embargoe...

50 years ago GM, Ford, and Chrysler owned the auto world. No other country could compete. In such a situation all three were hell-bent on production. Nothing could be allowed to stand in the way, not even their Unions. Every union threat was surrendered to. Contracts loaded with boondoggles we...

The brouhaha over Associated Press creating rules about how and how much of its content bloggers can quote centers around the new realities of new media. One of the ways bloggers build traffic and credibility is by linking to sources. Linking and the conversations it sparks between bloggers and read...

I said no, and she said are you sure? Then she began recounting the neighbors, including her, who'd recently gotten new roofs paid for by...

America's biggest current crisis is not terrorism, it's the issue of Global Warming. Not Global Warming itself, but the promotion of Global Warming by those with sinister motives, the worst of which is nothing less than the destruction of Western Civilization. It's hard to believe, but both presiden...
