My Credit Card = DENIED!

July 30, 2011

I learned something new tonight. I was out picking up some Indian food (which was very disappointing by the way – new management=new crappy cook…but I digress) and my credit card was declined when I went to pay for the food.  I said, “that’s impossible, I just used it ten minutes ago for another errand”.  [...]

Sunday Reads: It’s Getting Close Edition

July 17, 2011

We’re now less than 2 weeks from when Uncle Sam apparently runs out of money to spend if the debt ceiling isn’t increased (here was my prediction on the debt ceiling vote from 6 months ago – to too far off, huh?).  Anyway, equities continue to basically shrug off a potential disaster, figuring there will [...]

Pandora’s Box: Slammed Shut… And Other Weekend Reading

June 18, 2011

In a week that saw Pandora’s IPO launch to much fanfare and then come crashing down, there are some legitimate questions around some of the web companies going public now – and whether retail investors are buying into “hope” rather than actual future profit potential.  It will be interesting to see if Groupon can even [...]

Government Shutdown

April 7, 2011

Finally, the debt ceiling crisis I highlighted months ago is getting some attention by way of an impending government shutdown if some compromise isn’t reached.  I have mixed feelings on the matter.  Primarily, our debt situation is way out of control.  It’s shameful actually, what we’re doing to the next generation of Americans who will [...]

My Thoughts on Japan

This weekly is dedicated to the disaster unfolding in Japan.  Human tragedy of epic proportions and an unknown future cloud the recovery and rebuilding efforts.  Of primary import is the people lost, people affected and people trying to get back on their feet following this tragedy.  I fear it may be some time until things [...]

Dumb, Dumb, Dumb – Firing a Teacher for Holding a Beer

February 12, 2011

This week’s weekly links is dedicated to the utter stupidity of a Georgia School District for firing a teacher that had a vacation picture of her holding a beer.  Seriously, she went to England, had a snapshot of her in a pub holding a beer and smiling and some conniving parent anonymously complained to the [...]
