State Farm Reinvents Insurance
Friday, February 27, 2009 at 05:32PM What is most startling is the boldness of State Farm’s ploy, for they are ignoring the most basic and sacred of an insurance company’s responsibilities—that of holding their insured clients harmless in the event of loss, especially massive loss, through the spreading of risk
Earth To Congress...is anyone listening?
Friday, November 28, 2008 at 09:02AM Congress has instructed our automaker CEOs to return to Washington shortly (preferably on commercial aircraft) with a restructuring plan in hand. Hastily designed in just a few hours, it is likely their plan’s only result will be to delude the American people.
Our Bailout(s)--The Good, The Bad, and Hopefully, Not The Ugly
Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 12:23PM We need to tell our Congress that for 30 years they have allowed much of Corporate America to act like a bunch of spoiled bullies who want everybody’s candy.
OK, We've Got A Bailout, But Where’s The Plan?
Monday, October 6, 2008 at 04:34PM The five people who were supposed to guard us against dangerous activities in our gigantic, investment banking industry, the commissioners of the SEC, told those giant firms to police themselves, no pesky rules or oversight to limit them, just bet on margin to their hearts content; even to the tune of many trillions of dollars.
To Bail Or Not To Bail...
Thursday, October 2, 2008 at 04:33PM Our financial experts should now realize that Main Street knows a good bit about the bailout and the economy and we are tired of throwing gigantic sums of good money after a Niagara of bad. Just how many con jobs, stupid decisions and low-class thieves in high-class places is one society supposed to endure?
Our Masters Of The Universe = A Business As Usual Bailout
Thursday, September 25, 2008 at 08:21PM Let’s instruct our leaders that we must make this money count and use the time that it will buy wisely. We can have them pay attention to protecting our financial markets but, for a change, let’s focus as well on the good of the Country. If we spend this dough wisely, we can put millions of unemployed to work, save millions of homes, provide health care to millions of citizens and take far better care of millions of veterans and children. That is creating a better future
Stop--Do Not Pass Go--Do Not Collect $700 Billion
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 at 04:09PM There is one good thing that came out of this debacle. We now know our highly educated economists should have consulted a 15 year-old concerning privatization.
A No Vote For Chump Change
Monday, September 1, 2008 at 04:29PM Never in the history of mankind have the results of grotesque greed and power been hammered home with such ferocity as shown by the excesses of U.S. privatization. The gleeful squeals of the pigs at this trough are only drowned out by the agonized groans of our needy, helpless and downtrodden.
Politics Barack, Britney and Paris Advertisement
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 07:36AM The advertisement in question managed at once to be insulting, childish, cowardly and cruel.
Cowardly and cruel because it further used and abused the two, young women. And it was a behind the back attack accomplished with innuendo. Where I come from, we don’t kick women, especially when they are down. We used to have a name for guys who fight like this—what is happening to us?
Politics The Broken Hearted
Friday, July 25, 2008 at 10:48AM Yes, we have all heard about the reforms being suggested by our presidential candidates. Read those plans closely. Look for one critical issue. If Corporate Health Care America is left in control, we are kidding ourselves once again. Health Care Corporations will out-clever our Congress, as usual.
