Spending your way out of a recession?

That is not something I would try at home.

Global Warming

The frigid temperatures in most of the country over the past few years made me recall the famous Global Cooling article from Newsweek in April of 1975. You had zealots back then swearing we were all going to freeze to death. Now, you have all the global warming folks who believe we are about to fry if you don't get out of your car and ride a horse...as long as that horse doesn't break wind. You see, both breaking wind and simply breathing out can supposedly cause global warming. Who knows where all this is going, but I do know this... The earth has cooled and warmed from the beginning of time. The ice ages have come and gone without much help from the SUV. It is a cycle of change that will go on long after we are gone. If I had to make a choice, I would choose Global warming over Global cooling. If another ice age is coming, we are toast. Not much grows in ice.

Super Bowl Sunday

Well, it has been a long six years since the debacle in Super Bowl XXXVIII at Reliant Stadium in Houston. Thank you Janet and Justin for scaring a whole generation of guys who now eagerly watch the half-time show, instead of going to the bathroom, in hopes of seeing some sort of wardrobe malfunction.

The iPad

The iPad.
What's in a name? I guess only a brilliant soothsayer can make that call. I would be curious to know if any thoughts of feminine protection came up in the focus group meetings at Apple. I think the iPad is going to be a real interesting study in product branding for many reasons.

The Underwear Bomber

Just a thought about the underwear bomber...I must admit, having to stick a bomb in my undies would have been a deal breaker for me.
