I watch the Academy Award telecast every year and I am not sure why. I don’t get around to seeing most of the movies and, if I do, the movie that I usually want to win never does. Plus, the whole thing lost all credibility for me a few years ago (not that it had […]

I love a good business story and, among industries, I love stories about the airlines or about airplane manufacturing. I usually flip right to any airlne, Airbus or Boeing story in each issue of the Wall Street Journal or in BusinessWeek. So, when I saw a review of Boeing versus Airbus by John Newhouse in BusinessWeek […]

So, apparently the train wreck that is Van Halen continues to provide great entertainment, if not any real rock ‘n roll. It seems that Eddie Van Halen has completely lost his marbles and certifiable wacko David Lee Roth has now become the voice of reason in Van Halen, Inc. Eddie fired Mark Anthony and replaced […]

The Supreme Court, who gave itself way too much power very early on in our country’s history, has consistently limited the fourth amendment, which is actually part of the Constitution, while at the same time finding all kinds of other stupid rights that are not actually spelled out in the Constitution without giving citizens the chance to vote […]

I’ve always thought that Christianity was just a very large cult and nothing made that more clear than Jesus Camp. Besides being laugh-out-loud funny at times (e.g., when the lady blesses the PowerPoint presentation), the whole thing was very creepy and sad. No wonder people in the rest of the world think that Americans are a […]

The Federal Government really only has two things to do: (1) protect the country and (2) serve as a fiduciary in trust of the tax and tarriff dollars that they oversee. Our current president has failed in his first responsibility and, up until now, has held firm on the second. However, after getting us involved […]

I actually saw Titanic in the movie theater. This was before I had kids when I used to go to see movies in the theater on occasion. Titanic, a 3-hour plus epic, was a terrible movie that was about two-and-a-half hours too long and starred Leonardo DiCaprio who, until The Aviator, I thought was totally overrated. (I still […]
