One of the more disturbing aspects of the McCain campaign was the illegal use of music created by artists who had very essential differences with the Republican party. Jackson Browne, a long-time liberal, went to law to correct unauthorized use of his 1978 hit, “Running On Empty.” […]

The profitability of food retailing is very dependent on maximizing efficiencies throughout the supply chain. One strategy that I have been noticing more and more is the use of heavy plastic shrink wrap to bundle individual items into one big armload.
Grouping items together like this is important for […]

zipped back and forth
as if the air were ripped and they were stitches
between the stippled cattail-tips. Spangles

in the tangled cobwebs dangling
from the shingles on the shed-roof,

US financial system was built to fail

Now why would Richard C. Cook say that the US financial system was built to fail ever since the US government gave over its currency creating rights to the Federal Reserve in 1913?
Hmmm…around here we’d call that a long-range plan for world restructuring and domination.

In 2008, when Bush, Bernanke, and Paulson began the econo-crisis drumbeat, I wondered if an imminent […]

The whole truth is needed from the Obama adminstration concerning prisoner torture. Falling back on Bush-Cheney tactics won’t be good enough.

Okay, we all need to squawk over this one.
