Some Thoughts On “The New Gold Mine: Your Personal Information & Tracking Data Online”

March 15th, 2012 by admin

As shocking as this is to all of us, this is exactly what we have been warning about for many years. We lost our privacy in our parents generation. The happy side? When we walk into a Starbucks they already have the coffee, creamer and sweetener that we want ready and waiting for us at the counter. Oh, wait, they don’t. So what is all this used for anyway? There are legal and legit uses, which don’t make us feel any better anyway, and there are illegal and criminal threats to deal with. Oh for the Happy Days and Brady Bunch lifestyle agian. jeffKAGAN.com

An Opinion On “Who’s Hiring? Not Who You’d Expect”

March 15th, 2012 by admin

An American corporation that pays high taxes doesn’t have the right political connections to have favorable tax status for that business added to our tax code. The number of subsidies and tax benefits advice that are in the code to favor special interests and corporations is very large, and they have been added by politicians from both parties in exchange for campaign contributions.

The 35% tax rate for ‘corporations’ is nothing more than a joke to keep the masses quiet. Companies have legally used tax loopholes and special benefits to reduce their tax liabilities to insignificant amounts. Recent examples like GE and some of the banks that got bailout money show what a perverse tax system we have.

Reduce the corporate tax rate to 15% has become the latest call from the big guys. My take, do it as long as you get rid of every single tax loophole and gift that benefits the well-connected. Maybe, just maybe, GE will have to write a check to Uncle Sam, just like most members of the middle class do every April.

A Response To “Max Boot: Bin Laden’s Death Changes Little”

March 14th, 2012 by admin

Our military fights bravely in Afghanistan.

No question about it.

But if we think that ,as we withdraw, the Afghanies will gain and hold the upper hand against the Taliban, we are dead wrong.

Our support and dog training advice of them are superb and our direct action operations over there are unparalleled.

But they will never be able to maintain this momentum without our unending help.

If our opinion is that we cannot allow a caliphate which stretches from Kabul to Kashmir to occur, then we should also admit that we will never leave there.

Time will not change this.

Semper Fidelis,

Thoughts On “More Visitors Leave U.S. Off Travel Itinerary”

March 11th, 2012 by admin

Tell that to the investors who built hotels and golf courses and game parks for the tourist trade; tell it to the people who work in those establishments; tell it to the state and local governments who need the tax revenues these places would generate. Go sell your closed-minded ignorance to the folks in Orlando, Fl; or maybe to the hotel owners and employees in Vegas or to the owners of golf courses in North Carolina and the ski resorts of Colorado.

Tourism is a major US business, and foreign office travel advice tourists are the ones who spend the most money per capita. If they’ve taken the time to travel by plane for that once-in-a-lifetime trip, they’ll pony up for the full dinner instead of just ordering an appetizer and filling up on rolls.

My View On “Oil Rise Imperils Budding Recovery”

March 10th, 2012 by admin

Hey Geraldo, I’m sure you don’t mean to be rude to a stranger. GM has sold every Volt made so far in this limited roll-out. The Chevy Volt has the highest consumer advice rating than any car from Consumer Reports. Even more than a Porsche 911. It has won over 13 major international engineering awards. It was Motor Trend Car of the Year. The Volt is far from a failure. Don’t just believe what the big oil stake holders are telling you. Remember. there’s no way they want Americans driving around on the household electricity instead for gasoline like I do. They are going to put up a big information war. The best thing you can do is go drive a Chevy Volt and make up your own mind. That’s all it takes.

A Commentary On “Rove: How the GOP Can Blow It in 2012″

March 8th, 2012 by admin

Notice how this is different form Rove’s last op-ed where it looked like Obama was toast?

Republicans can blow it. I see the circular firing squad begining to form.

Already Republican Candidates like Bachmann have announced that Republicans like me are not allowed to participate fully in her administration.

As a Christian, I believe birth is our begining. Bachmann has signed a pledge promising that no Christian who believes in this traditional Judeo-Christian intrepretation of the Bible…no such Christian is allowed to be appointed to certain Cabinet positions and no such Christians are allowed to be appointed to the Federal courts.

OK. I worked very hard to elect Republicans all my life…except for McCain of course. I was an elected Republican county chair….when I took the office there were no Republicans holding county-level office…when I resigned the position there was only one Democrat remaining of 13 county-level elected officials. I was GOP Caucus Chairman of one of Texas’ 31 Senate Districts….I was a Republican

Bachmann ..and Pawlenty…say Republcans like me are not to be a part of her administration. Let the circular firing squad form up and fire….Obama will be re-elected if we nominate an idiot like Bachman.

Some Thoughts On “Jerry Moran and Mark Warner: A Bipartisan Plan for Job Creation”

March 6th, 2012 by admin

Baloney!!!!!!!!!!! on top of Baloney!!!!!!!!!!!!

Programs to do this, Programs to do that, Fix it, UnFix it.

They just don’t get it. If we are to have prosperity, the Government has to get out of business of regulating business in a big way.

They are wrong anyway; the hardest time is not on the startup of a business but in the second stage when it tries to break up advice out of the initial growth stage. The second stage is the hardest to complete because the amount of money needed to be raised is much larger and the return will not come so quickly.

We don’t need politicians to tell us what is wrong. Also read who they rely on for advice; college professors, not business people.

An Opinion On “Air France Crash Report to Spur Training Changes”

March 5th, 2012 by admin

@Toby

Pulling the throttles back may be a legitamate way to recover from a stall – you simply use gravity in order to reduce the complications of recovery from the dive. I’m not a pilot, and have no idea what the different options are in larger jet aircraft, but in flying smaller planes, that is what you are instructed to do. Also, being in the middle of a massive storm and without speed indicators – they were responding to mulitple emergencies and not fully trained to respond.

The point is that no one mistake causes an airplane to fall from the sky. Many mistakes were made, and my take is that proper dog training advice to deal with the multiple erroneous airspeed indications was not provided. This plane is one of the most advanced aircraft we have. Most of the training was probably how to use the computerized systems. The aircraft went off autopilot and all automatic systems to control the plane shut down due to lack of accurate airspeed indications. On a large plane, that’s huge. The Airbus 330 aircraft is designed to prevent the pilot from doing anything that causes the plane to crash – but the system to do that shut off do to the pitot tubes freezing.

As Mark says, dropping at 10,000 feet per minute does not give you a lot of time to troubleshoot.

The Goal of Supplier Management

March 5th, 2012 by admin

The goal of supplier management is to keep that business relationship healthy after it has been entered in to. It is easy for either party to begin to bend the agreed upon terms shortly after the details have been hammered out. It is quite possible that in negotiations, things were agreed to that were not in the natural business operation of one party or the other. There is nothing wrong with that, indeed it could be seen as a positive thing allowing the parties to grow in their business performance. Bu the fact is that suppp**ent is necessary to ensure that those new practices are followed. Which is not to say that that process needs to be adversarial. It does not. It can continue to be mutually beneficial.

Analysis On “The Weekend Interview with Mortimer Zuckerman: The Exasperation of the Democratic Billionaire”

March 3rd, 2012 by admin

So, why did someone so intelligent as Mr. Zuckerman support Obama in the first place? He should have known better. I would say he’s a fool, but less so as he can at least come to see the error of his action. What this country needs is for intelligent people like Mr. Zuckerman to stop supporting ideological incompetents like Obama from day one, not several years after the fact when massive and possibly irreversible damage has already been done. Mr. Zuckerman needs to listen to his own eharmony advice, although it may be too late He is part of the problem. Our intellectual and business elites are fools. Or worse.
