Here we come to save the day
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008Facing an increasingly ominous economic outlook, President-elect Barack Obama and other Democrats are rapidly ratcheting up plans for a massive fiscal stimulus program that could total as much as $700 billion over the next two years. That amount, more than the nation has spent over the past six years in Iraq, would rival the sum Congress committed last month to rescuing the country’s financial system. It would also be one of the biggest public spending programs aimed at jolting the economy since President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.

I hate business cards
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008Business cards are normally so damned boring and unimaginitive. I understand that sometimes that is on purpose. Nobody wants to see a gynecologist’s business cards with cute cartoony drawings of the doctor’s area of expertise. That being said, it’s nice to see this site that features 70 unique business card ideas.
The only way to fly
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008When the CEOs of GM, Chrysler and Ford went to Washington to beg for taxpayer’s money, how did they get there?
[Of course, my company sells jet fuel so fly away boys!]
