Can all this bad really be good? Things are tough. It seems that “how bad things are” is the theme of nearly every newscast and talk show. I even spend much of my time on television talking about our economic woes. The economy has gone to hell and the stock market sucks and foreclosures, layoffs…
I am sick of A-Rod, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and the rest of the professional athletes who used illegal performance enhancing drugs and their lame apologies. I know they are so very very sorry …. NOW! Big deal – I am NOT impressed with their feeble attempts at remorse. Everyone is sorry when they get…
The airwaves are full of talk of the Economic Stimulus Package. Like me, I am sure you have heard both the Republican plan and the Democratic plan to stimulate the nation’s economy. Now you get a chance to hear MY plan. My plan is based on rewarding smart behavior instead of stupid behavior. It is…

Are people really idiots? Obviously I believe so based on the title of my new book, People Are Idiots And I Can Prove It. What else could I believe based on the evidence provided? Parents don’t talk to their kids or discipline their kids; give them everything they want and then wonder why their kids…

I just saw a commercial for a television manufacturer who is obviously trying to sell more televisions. Their advertising slogan is, “Change your TV, change your life.” Okay, that’s just wrong.

Is holiday shopping right for you this year? You may think that holiday shopping is for everyone, but sorry, it isn’t.
