After a Long Lunch Break

Time to Get Back to Work It is been over a year since I made a post on this blog, but it was not due to there not being anything to write about as we have seen a remarkable year.   Our recession has continued with unemployment remaining uncomfortably high at just below 10% for the [...]

A Seedy ACORN

Anyone Looking for quality Tax Advice from a Nutty Non-profit? If there is anything that has begged to be commented on,  it is the another organization associated with Barack Obama and it is the ballot stuffing and the voter creating  organization of ACORN.    ACORN has demonstrated its willingness and ability to assist entrepreneurs in minimizing [...]

Do We Want our Country Re-shaped?

An Unhealthy Health Care Pill Barack Obama goes before a joint session of Congress tonight to sell the health care gift or reform.  It is his 114th time or somewhere in that neighborhood that he has made a speech on health care.  Why so many times?  Clearly, the pitch is not taking.  Speaking before a [...]

Has accountability become optional?  If we experience hardships and difficult moments, should we simply throw up our hands in the air and provide ourselves with the safe acknowledgement that we tried and we tried “real hard”?  After realizing that an effort to overcome was made and the distinct possibility that [...]

It’s Big….its an amazon…it’s my third Post

This is my second Post.

This is my second post. John recommends that we, his students, write about something that interests us.  How about current events?  And what is more current than a bailout here and a “stimulus” package there?  Does anyone other than someone who is going to receive a check from the government, which is funded by the [...]
