In the course of getting through my MBA program I have run across some really good teachers and some that are so removed from reality that I can’t seem to find much common ground to even communicate with them. I rarely listen to Michael Savage but I know that he contends that liberalism is a…

Review: Palermo Restaurant
Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

Attached are a few photos of the Occupy Sacramento protest. This group is conveniently located across from my employer so I get to see them in action. The way this protest works is that a handful of people arrive each morning and set-up their operation. In the early afternoon, a trickle of people begins to…

This photo is from a make-shift memorial created after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001 near Dunsmuir, CA. This email was circulated in the wake of the 9-11 attacks. What a difference a Day makes…. On Monday we emailed jokes. On Tuesday we did not. On Monday we thought that we were secure. On…

Many media stories this week have reported that HP is planning to sell their PC division. Their excuse is that sales are sluggish and the computer division has a low profit margin. This is not the real reason. Clearly their bean-counters realize that Obama-care and promises of higher taxes will kill the PC division so…

The California Republican Party is going through the process of looking at the Party Platform. This ritual—which occurs every four years—has seen a marked change from previous meetings of the Platform Committee. This year, the “moderates” briefly succeeded in stripping all references to social issues from the platform. Some were subsequently re-inserted in generic ways…
