Hard Times, Part 2: The Double-Dip Recession

February 4, 2010

0

I think the second dip of the double-dip recession began this week. It’s hard to expect much, if any recovery in 2010 or 2011. Just my opinion. The worldwide stock sell-off might be only the beginning of another crisis. The financial story was Greece on Wednesday, Spain and Portugal on Thursday. It could be anywhere […]

December 29, 2009

The past two years have been punishing for businesses and consumers, probably the most painful years since the Great Depression. Things CAN ONLY IMPROVE in 2010, don’t you think? Not so fast. We yearn, in our heart of  hearts, to return to the comfortable status quo ante. Let the good times roll! Can’t we all […]

The amazing implosion of the MSM (that’s mainstream media) continues. The Washington Post unveiled a new, dumbed-down version of its Sunday magazine a couple of weeks ago. More ads, less content. Don’t these newspaper guys get it? Don’t they understand that every redesign speeds up the downward death spiral. Last Sunday, The Post magazine featured […]
