Early Sunday I posted an entry with a YouTube video embedded showing former DNC chairman Don Fowler yukking it up about Gustav getting ready to rip some folks’ lives to shreds on the opening day of the GOP Convention in Minnesota. Over at ABC’s site we get to see what Fowler’s excuse for an apology [...]
Hurricane Gustav is just about mid-way between Cuba and the Louisiana coastline, projected to make landfall Monday. It looks like a pretty straight line between where he is and New Orleans but there’s still time. As DHS Secretary Chertoff says, the window of opportunity to get the heck outta there is closing fast. If you’re [...]
Via Power Line this morning, here’s a lovely example of what highly-placed Democrats are saying about Gustav and the potential to hit New Orleans when they think no one’s listening: John Hinderaker sums it up perfectly: This is what Hurricane Katrina was all about. Mainstream reporters committed malpractice, repeatedly reporting things that weren’t true. They [...]
Years ago I was following a very different career path than I do today: I worked in commercial aviation. I started out as a ramp agent (endearingly termed “ramp rat” or “bag ape”) for Presidential Airways based out of Washington Dulles International Airport. When a spot opened in the customer service (CS) group, I took [...]
I was in a client meeting when the news hit the streets so I’m sure everyone knows this by now but Sarah Palin is the VP nominee on the GOP ticket! Outstanding! More to come later but I wanted to pop off a quick post on it. Go McCain/Palin!
Say what you like about the picking process, the McCain campaign is certainly keeping a better lid on things than Obama’s flop of an announcement.

John McCain shows real class: Well done, Senator McCain. And allow me, please, to join in with him to offer congrats to Senator Obama. It’s no secret I disagree with Obama on many, many things and I firmly believe he’s not the right man for the presidency. But that ought not to distract from a [...]
If you were doing the same work as a fellow employee and you found out that you had to do 20% more work than they did to avoid a “non-performing” rating on your annual review, would you think that was fair? I think it’s pretty obvious most of us wouldn’t. Yet that’s the situation faced [...]
No publicity is bad publicity, so the old marketing saw goes. I’m sure the marketing folks at Microsoft are having mixed feelings about that with regard to the latest feature to surface in their Internet Explorer 8 product. IE8 is still in beta but there’s a hum about it already with regard to it’s “InPrivate” [...]
Well, it sure didn’t take long for the “yeah, well, what about him” response to arise from my previous post on Obama’s relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers. Commenter Ben Hoffman has this to say: Yeah, so why didn’t you have a problem with Bush’s ties to the bin-Laden family? Comment by Ben Hoffman | 27 [...]
