The resume title of this article is insulting, and I am surprised to see it in the WSJ. The title implies that air travelers should meekly accept whatever debasement is inflicted on them, and falsely claims that it is rude to want to be treated with dignity and respect. Several comments have implied that there is little travelers can do about this. I have found a solution. One year ago, Read More...

Washington is like a bunch of people tossing a jar of nitroglycerin from one end of Pennsylvania Avenue to the other. Druckenmiller opines that a technical default for a couple of weeks is no big deal. It's no more than extending the nitro toss for two more agonizing weeks. Not everyone's 401 or IRA is as fat as Mr. Druckenmiller's $2.5 billion treasure chest and most of us are on the Read More...

@ Mr. O'Dell--When someone says 'common sense', I hear 'This statement very much supports my worldview and I don't have to provide data support it, because, well, I am right and nothing can dissuade me from what 'common sense' says.' I don't have the tools to do what you ask, but could you do it for me, and annotate it? If something is so crystal clear, then supporting data should be reasonably Read More...

Generalization or not, there's a lot of validity to this image. And frankly, it's not a new realization. The key lies in self-awareness of what skills set people apart. Regardless of race, your ability to generate bottom-line impact, either through sales, new accounts, or whatever powers your business, is what gets you ahead. There is some reasonable evidence that this kind of mentality Read More...

Obama is a closet conservative, unfortunately, like most politicians he is more of a political lemon, like nancy pelosi,(although nancy is not a closet conservative, just a political lemon) and figured that he being who he was at the time to retire with his skills as an orator and education level would fare better going the liberal route. In hindsight he probably realizes now that had Read More...

I agree jettisoning the Gatorade brand assessment was a dramatic bet. But with sales evaporating as the core customer trades running shoes for wheel chairs, they have a serious problem. An enormously controversial and seldom used alternative is to create your own competition. In this case, they could have created a brand that would compete directly with Gatorade and been designed to be Read More...

I have long thought that if anything the President benefited from being African American. So many many people really wanted to like him, either to show that they were not racist or that this country was not. I think whether we voted for him or not, all (most) were proud that this country exhibited the tolerance and diversity it did. Frankly, would a young white man with as insignificant Read More...

I've been telling my friends and annoying coworkers for years to look to the sun as a major factor in the global warming and cooling cycles. Carbon dioxide is a relatively poor absorber of heat compared to water vapor, and some studies have established an apparent equilibrium between water vapor and CO2 ( as CO2 rises, H2O falls). We should be cooling, but aren't, so we may be aiming at Read More...

I was a Professor at the University of Houstonon-Downtown and had many Hispanic students in my classes. Many of the Hispanic students told me that they were not encouraged by parents or siblings to go to college and were questioned about why they weren't working. My opinion is that the Hispanic culture of machismo produces an attitude that manual labor is what is machismo men do. My students Read More...

The older I get the more atheist I become. Not that I am sayset in your waysg there may have not been something that created universe, there is no way to prove it one way or other. However, the petty human version of god that wants to tell people how to behave, tell them to donate money to the church and kill those of other religions... thats not god... thats just human creation designed Read More...
