I don’t know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations. I don’t blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America , as it is a truly [...]
Welcome Back, Jim Vicevich! By Tim Siggia April 27, 2010 “You can’t keep a good man down.” — popular idiom When talk show host Jim Vicevich and Hartford radio station WTIC-AM were unable to come to terms on a contract, a large chasm was created and legions of loyal listeners were profoundly disappointed. Attempt after [...]
I was asked that question tonight and here is my response. I believe goldman is charged with fraud. I believe the ratings agency rated it AAA I believe the buyer bought it based on their fundamental analysis which means they ran the numbers that the rating agency provided. I believe that paulson picked the merchandise [...]
Westboro members, most of whom are related to church patriarch Fred Phelps Sr., are best known for protesting at military funerals to express the belief that troops’ deaths are punishment for the nation’s tolerance of homosexuality. Laura Cordell of Peoria, Ill., said in comments published Monday in The Capital-Journal that the group had contacted Phelps’ [...]
IT giant IBM told Personnel Today that the firm’s global workforce of 399,000 permanent employees could reduce to 100,000 by 2017, the date by which the firm is due to complete its HR transformation programme. Tim Ringo, head of IBM Human Capital Management, the consultancy arm of the IT conglomerate, said the firm would re-hire [...]
I wasn’t aware of this as I don’t watch South Park. But after hearing about it, it amazes me how people want to move to America and live the American dream, yet they want to stop Americans from having free speech because it offends them. Hell, if free speech offends you, you’re welcome to go [...]
Most of Mauldin’s original drawings are in the 45th Division museum in Oklahoma City. Bill Mauldin stamp honors grunts’ hero. The post office gets a lot of criticism. Always has, always will. And with the renewed push to get rid of Saturday mail delivery, expect complaints to intensify. But the United States Postal Service deserves [...]
I stumbled onto this article in the Kerrville Daily Times. Never in my life did I imagine that I would find something like this in the local paper. I want you to read what these people have been charged with and tell me what we are doing to our country. I hope you can, because [...]
When I see companies over here like InfoSys that are taking advantage of the minority business owner rules only to bring in employees such as these that want and eagerly anticipate layoffs in America so that they will have more work, I believe that my one vote can make a difference and put a stop [...]
After a messy divorce, Mr. Scroggin was stuck with a $7,000 bill that he said belonged to his ex-wife. Instead of paying it, he began researching the law and stumbled on Debtorboards.com. Armed with lessons he learned on the site, he demanded proof of the debt from the collection agency, and the calls stopped. But [...]
__________________________________ News Alert from The Wall Street Journal New documents from a Senate investigation show top Goldman Sachs executives cheering the gains they were reaping as subprime-mortgage securities collapsed in value in 2007. Several of the firm’s top executives, including Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein, are slated to testify Tuesday before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on [...]
I first learned how to work with and develop software when I was working as a Quality Assurance Engineer for a firm that subcontracted to Texas Instruments to do MIL-SPEC burn-in testing of integrated circuits. I don’t remember all of the details, but basically you were required to burn-in these lots for about 92 hours [...]
It amazes me how all of these corporations that were born and raised and staffed by Americans in America are destroying the American economy by moving first their jobs offshore and now their offices offshore. I have to wonder if they will do the same to your country when they find a cheaper bidder somewhere [...]
The real scandal isn’t the Street’s unlawful acts (i.e., Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Goldman Sachs) but legal acts that have reaped the Street a bonanza and nearly sunk the rest of us. Click here to read the article
Now this one really interests me. Chuck Baldwin if I remember correctly ran against Obama for President. So did Ron Paul. As a matter of fact, Ron Paul is a United States Senator and one of the few that the majority of us believe is working to right the wrong that the Federal Reserve has [...]
Lets look at this little daily beast article today. Goldman employees are staying off TV, instead feeding info and spin to the press as well as their many alumni working in high-level government positions. The goal is to avoid looking “arrogant.” Interesting No mention of confessing your sins or righteous indignation of “We Didn’t Do [...]
I don’t know who wrote this, but I couldn’t agree more. I THINK IT IS REMARKABLE THAT WITHIN A WEEK OF TIGER WOODS CRASHING HIS ESCALADE, THE PRESS FOUND EVERY WOMAN WITH WHOM TIGER HAS HAD AN AFFAIR IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, WITH PHOTOS, TEXT MESSAGES, RECORDED PHONE CALLS, ETC. AND, THEY NOT ONLY KNOW THE CAUSE OF [...]
I believe before you can fix a problem you have to identify it. JudicialWatch.org has apparently done their homework. You can click here to view their work. Would somebody please tell me why these people are not in prison?
If I were managing a business for you and 9 months ago I had found out that my management style was against the law and I was warned by the auditors that if I didn’t change I probably was going to get the company into a lot of trouble, I’ll bet that you would do [...]
When I hear you say things like this it makes me realize that you haven’t a clue what the real problem is. While acknowledging serious concern that some Americans face long-term unemployment, Romer pushed back against economists who have asserted that high joblessness is now built into the economy and has become the “new normal.” [...]
I picked these numbers because I know many computer guys and gals that can no longer find work, yet we all see more and more projects happening all the time. I attribute it to the invisible caste system that is being implemented in all software houses where Indians are now in management and to recruiters [...]
Dear Sir, I read with some interest your letter to President Obama that was published in the 15 Apr 2010 issue of the Wall Street Journal. While I will be the first to admit that I do not understand all of the intricacies of the Israel/Palestinian situation, I too share your concerns about the Obama [...]
