Imus – yeah, I’ve got more to say…thanks to The [Green] Week

April 22, 2007

Yet another reason why Imus simply deserved it: It’s a good question, deserving a “blunt” answer, said Eugene Robinson in The Washington Post. Blacks and whites have an ugly, 388-year history in this country, beginning when “the first shackled African slaves arrived at Jamestown.” Given that history, a 67-year-old white disc jockey in a cowboy [...]

Pricing?

February 26, 2007

One of the most annoying things about visiting a company’s web site is that many lack the most important thing that I want to know: How much will your product or service cost me? I don’t care about your image, reputation, or how amazing the WSJ said you were. Why? Because chances are I found [...]
