Stealth Inflation

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

It’s been going on for years and finally someone besides consumers are reporting the stealth downsizing causing us to pay more for less.  Now the article focuses on food but that’s not the only place I’m seeing it, also in paper products and cleaning supplies.

Pink paintwork: How gun manufacturers are targeting female market

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

I find it ironic that the Daily Mail would publish Hello Kitty and pink paintwork: How gun manufacturers are targeting female market with girly ‘purse pistols’ only to have an Armed Beauty Queen Fatally Shoots Intruder in Florida Home Invasion with a pink pistol the next day. You would think the feminists would be more [...]

How not to sell software

Friday, March 18th, 2011

Police Time Management

Monday, March 14th, 2011

I am glad to see crime in Virginia is so low the police have time to investigate a ‘hazing’ incident at a U-Va. fraternity after a pledge is hospitalized.  For chugging soy sauce… You’d think such a politically correct institution would be glad they spared the gold fish.
