Remember the “Got Milk?” Ads? Advertising that works, is so great. Remember the old gal who said, “Where’s the Beef” for Wendy’s? And the first duck commercial for the insurance company? Quack quack ads since, have been getting worse and worse. The Volkswagen ads of a couple of decades ago sold hundreds of thousands […]
What do the various classes of Americans contribute towards employment and prosperity? Should the rich “pay their fair share?” If a person makes millions a year, shouldn’t he have to pay maybe 90% of it, to equalize everyone and reduce the debt? What does a working class family, making probably $40,000 a year, contribute […]
When you “short” a stock, you basically are betting that it will go down in price, and you will make a profit when it goes down. To ’short’ something, you borrow it, and agree to repay it at the price at which you borrowed, and theoretically you sell it at a lower price, pay […]
Four cents? What is that supposed to mean? Good question. Four cents per kilowatt hour, is what it costs to generate electricity with coal. Coal? You mean that dirty black stuff that comes from a mine? Yuk! Yes, coal. Coal, which we have hundreds of years worth in America. Coal, which generates 44.7% of […]
Its just real nice to go to your storage place, wherever that may be, and look at your physical gold and silver! All that beauty and wealth, and it’s all yours, with no strings attached, nothing owed on it, no deeds, titles, mortgages, or other encumbrances. Just pure beauty, and historic wealth. Nothing beats […]
Its loss last year alone, was $8 billion. Each year, the losses of the U.S. Post Office grows and grows and grows. The postal service is a Constitutional item, so we can’t just ’privatize’ it, but must live with it. How to get the Postal Service in the black? I think it can be […]
It’s a great compliment that tens of thousands read my columns. One lady says she forwards them to 100,000 people! I have no idea of how many tens of thousands get forwarded, but it is a compliment, and I thank you. I write about anything that strikes my fancy, and even did a column […]
It’s all the rage now, making TV news and stories in newspapers. Where are we ever going to put the ever increasing amount of rubbish being discarded by Americans? We’re familiar with the photos of landfills growing like Topsy; trash trucks continually regurgitating tons and tons of newspapers, tin cans, old tires, and the […]
While Robin Hood and his knights of Sherwood Forest are held in the highest esteem by today’s academia and other assorted bubbleheads, I think they certainly are not the apotheosis of civilization. They were common crooks, who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, or so the story goes anyway. Admittedly, King Richard […]
We all want to be sure of our President. Is that logical? Forget the obvious fake birth certificate, which has the wrong hospital name on it. How about a few other items which may be lacking as far as a true ID of probably the most powerful man on earth? Who was best man […]
