A Woman Scorned…

This post is about abortion. Viewer discretion is advised… When is abortion NOT controversial, so I felt it was necessary to open with the equivalent of a movie black screen MPAA warning… you’ve been warned… The right to have an abortion was decided via Roe v Wade on January 22, 1973 by a 7-2 vote […]

Arby’s Had the Meats…

Why can’t chicken restaurants just sell chicken? To that end, Arby’s is now making burgers. But not just any burger… a wagyu burger.  Before I get into what wagyu is, I want to talk about Arby’s… and Burger King… and Dominos Pizza. Everyone is trying to diversify. But is it working? So wagyu beef is […]

White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch

This is a documentary more than a film and I’d like to treat it as such with a full feature account of its contents as opposed to a review of the quality of the production. There are no actors with whom a performance needs to be dissected and no story to be told with color. […]

Markets

It’s Actually Not a Dollar…

Did you know that all dollar stores don’t sell item exclusively for a dollar? Like most consumers, it is natural to believe that a store with the word DOLLAR in its name means everything is a dollar. But it really means everything in the store is economical like a dollar… Let me explain… There are […]

S&P Who? S&P What?

The IRS Scandal

So it appears the IRS has been discriminatory to some conservative groups when they applied for tax exempt status. Conservative groups… Like the tea party… To be clear, the exact charge was that tea party and conser...

News International and News Corporation = Criminal Activity

I just don’t know where to begin with this one. I mean, being a journalist is supposed to equal honesty, integrity, a responsibility to the consumer… What the F? I guess to be fair, News Corp has not been implicated...
