Opponents: Kasich (aka Dr. Evil) wants to ruin Ohio with tax cuts

January 30, 2010

in Culture, Economy, Politics

It’s fascinating to watch the attitude of those who think reducing or eliminating taxes is akin to the end of the world. John Kasich is taking a lot of heat from the press and elsewhere for his thoughts about the possibility – possibility – of eliminating the state’s income tax.
Over time.
Responsibly.
To let Ohioans keep more [...]

iPad from Apple could launch slew of companion products

January 28, 2010

in Communications, Culture, Management

I’m sure the new iPad will be loved and wanted by all. Well, except me.
I used to be a big Apple fan but that has waned since I had to return to Windows.
And especially since the adventure of getting iTunes music from one computer to another, from Mac to Windows, and a child’s library shared [...]

Happy Brown won but not ecstatic

January 20, 2010

Scott Brown’s victory is being hailed by those who have worried about the massive expansion of the federal government, both real and proposed, by those who have worried about the enormous growth in government (i.e. taxpayer-funded) spending real and proposed and by those worried the proposed health care reforms will actually increase the cost of [...]

Does Kasich/Taylor ticket = Bam!?

January 14, 2010

It’s moments like these that I think of Emeril Lagasse.
No, not because of the Iron Chefs competition that pitted Emeril and Mario Batali against Bobbie Flay and White House chef Cristeta Comerford (which Team Lagasse/Batali should have won, by the way, and which has turned into a bit of a Gardengate scandal because of “stunt [...]

(Almost) all you need to know about N, S Korea

January 13, 2010

I find it hard to believe that Sarah Palin had a hard time with the differences between North Korea and South Korea.
Nevertheless, she should take advantage of this image used by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in 2006. It’s a satellite picture of the differences between the North and South at night.
The economically [...]

Bush, Kennedy and freedom

January 3, 2010

I don’t think any of us who saw it will ever forget 9/11. It was a day of great sorrow, anger, gut-wrenching loss. It was a day that united all Americans.
Unfortunately, we would see the unity of that day fade as the war against the perpetrators and the wider world of terrorism expanded. And it [...]

America deserves better reform and better representatives

December 24, 2009

They, they who are supporters, call the Senate’s health care reform bill the art of compromise. But the more accurate description is the science of corruption.
This bill is a clear case of malice aforethought designed not to benefit the nation but senators. This is obvious in a couple of ways.
First look at the individual carve-outs, [...]

Climate change is people

December 11, 2009

For the man-caused global warming crowd, Heston might as well be saying, “Climate Change is people.”
I talked about this here and since then there has been a bit of a deluge of evidence to reinforce the point that many man-caused global warming proponents believe the real answer is less of us:
Population control called key to [...]

Does blogging, pursuing your passions, really help the job search?

December 10, 2009

Network, be present, be visible. Write a blog, be on Twitter, Facebook. Oh, don’t forget LinkedIn. Never forget LinkedIn.
Apply for jobs? Ha! That’s the old way and it doesn’t work.
That’s the advice I’ve heard and read since being laid off a year ago.
And oh, one more thing. Pursue your passion.
But I wonder. Is pursuing your [...]

God and man at Copenhagen

December 9, 2009

I am not a believer in man-caused global warming (M-CGW). There are several reasons.
Contrary to popular belief — created by a vocal group of scientists and pliant media — what “everybody knows” is not universally accepted by all scientists, and for good reasons.
This division has been intensified by the e-mails of Climategate. Almost as damaging as what [...]
