Re: 3-Apr-10 News-Medvedev urges 'crueler' methods v terrorists

While we're complaining about propaganda that helps the other side, just posting the picture of that attractive couple does wonders for the legitimacy of the Chechneyan movement. Yes, she's wearing a burka, but the husband at least could pass for "white", heck, could pass for a college or grad stud...

Re: Just a few things

Been absent a while, my father died and I had to fly back to the states for the funeral, then stayed a while as I had some time off coming up about a week after I'd have gotten back. I am an expat, pays better and as long as the tax breaks hold up I get to keep more of it. Sorry for your loss. May ...

Re: 1-Apr-10 News - New suicide bombings in Russia's Caucasus

As an aside, when I posted "bad Boomer management", I didn't mean ALL, but a portion perhaps one-third or more of Boomers in leadership positions, for instance Waxman and Frank and many I've met in business. And it seems the greater the authority, the greater the proportion of the bad-type one find...

Re: 1-Apr-10 News - New suicide bombings in Russia's Caucasus

"Congress calls CEOs on the carpet after health care writedowns are announced" "...Henry Waxman today is calling on the carpet companies that are doing what's required by law in informing investors of increases taxes resulting from the health care bill. Waxman would presumably be happier if these c...

Re: generational conflict between y and boomers...your thoughts,

... I haven't read the book, but it makes sense on the surface. The Boomers are making sure the government takes care of them and the Gen-Xers are too caught up in the NOW to care about the future. Once they do start to care, it will be too late. You really should read this book if you are interest...

Re: generational conflict between y and boomers...your thoughts,

If I recall correctly, S & H in the 4th Turning said that the Nomads (GenX) end up the poorest in old age not the Prophets (Boomers). I haven't read the book, but it makes sense on the surface. The Boomers are making sure the government takes care of them and the Gen-Xers are too caught up in the N...

Re: How Millennial are you?

1. Cell phone (my VOIP won't work without electricity) If the power is out in your neighborhood, it's likely the nearest base station is without power too, so your cell ain't gonna work. Always keep handy a phone that requires no power. You can buy a cheap one at home depot for less than $20. They ...

Re: Obama - The liar

Remember, Netanyahu started by saying "I'm going to put in those 1600 settlements in Arab territory anyway, and if you don't like it, tough." Can you please link to that quote? Since it was my own paraphrase of his stated position, which was all over the news media, the only link I can provide is t...
