About

I read a lot. I write a lot.
Subsequently, I think a lot about what I read & write
Now these notes are going live on the world wide web.
I like to think of it as 'plunging' the cr** out of news media, gathering facts and making occassional predictions (that are correct 97.8% of the time)

Til death do us part just got a ‘get out of jail free’ card from the Mexican government, who seeks to create ‘temporary’ marriage of sorts just in case you want a bail out early into the union…. NICE.

» Whole Foods CEO attacked rival online - Business - U.S. business - msnbc.com

Antitrust violations… for 7 KNOWN years (god only knows what other fake identities MACKEY took online to influence buy-outs over that period) HACKEY would be a more appropriate username for your future fake financial analysis online.   Violate the TOS/privacy policy of whatever site he was using = FTC/SEC penalties/federal pounding in the —- penalties.  Nice try Whole Foods CEO, hope that acquisition with wild oats (or whatever) was worth you, & your company’s reputation… Kinda screwed up, actually scratch that (since he is apparently still CEO despite this unethical attempt at saving $$$) -  make that REALLY messed up (read the link…)

Attention Trial Lawyers

JAN 29 – OBAMA SIGNS FIRST BILL
Lilly Ledbetter Fair pay restoration act – ATTENTION! CALLING ALL TRIAL LAWYERS!

  • Extends workers’ statute of limitations for suits claiming pay discrimination on the basis of sex, race, or religion
  • “U.S. Chamber of Commerce claimed it would dramatically expand the number of frivolous and otherwise questionable lawsuits against employers.” (7 feb econ.)
  • Restores the ‘1990s status quo’ (since it reverses a 2007 Supreme Court decision, made under the Bush administration) of aggrieved worker rights
  • QUESTION to LEGAL PROFESSIONALS: I’m not a law expert so I’m curious after writing the above - How can a president sign a bill that goes against a Supreme Court ruling (which set precedents in all similar cases under the federal law)…. is it like veto power almost?

Never heard of it?  That’s because the stimulus drowned all the things that Obama does 99% of the time each day. All we ever here is the big hitters and what he and his administration have to say about it.
