You be the judge how much of this is real or computer graphics.

Advertising from the Past: Lane Bryant

Who needs self-esteem when you can have a free fashion book for chubbies? Also, proving that advertising weight representation has always been screwed up, the girl pictured is totally not chubby.

Tax Breaks?

In the campaign, Obama promised to give a tax break to 95% of Americans. He said if you make under $250,000, you would not see your tax increase by a single dime, not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, nothing.

Now he's saying that he hopes middle-income Americans won't have to pay for more than 1/3 of the cost of his new, "improved" healthcare. (That's probably going to be $1 trillion over 10 years.)

Management

"Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done."

--Peter F. Drucker

Health Care Gamble

The proposed health care reform is a huge gamble and versions of it have never worked in any state that's tried it.

Rather than gamble the whole country's health care (and 1/6 of the US economy) on what we think will work, why not do a 3-year trial in one state to prove its success and get the kinks worked out before we do it nationwide?

Do What You Love

"The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it put your whole soul into it - every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have."
--John D. Rockefeller III

IT Solutions

The problem with information technology solutions is that we tend to think of them as "solutions." They are almost never the full solution. They often fail because they don't address the business/personal problem.

If the technology solution doesn't also engage the business process solution, then whole effort will fail.

Also, remember that some solutions cause more problems.

House Chair Counts Votes How He Wishes

See the video below where Representative Jack Murtha, 8th most senior member of the U.S. House of Representatives, presides in the House one day and is seen pushing through a vote by counting the votes how he wishes. At the end, he arrogantly states that "the Chair's decision is not subject to question."
