Bob Herbert had a great piece in the New York Times opinion section that covers what many of the people I have been talking to are saying. Who are you voting for? How are they going to fix the economy? Can they fix the economy? Will I ever be able to retire?
We all know that one person is not going to be able to fix this mess but boy are we hopeful. The kids were out playing today and a neighbor said “It’s not good when you’re more solvent than your bank”. He’s been banking with... Read Full Story

Well I often have to interview people for hiring purposes. If they don’t answer the question I ask it is a negative. If they don’t ever answer a question I ask I get very concerned and don’t hire. That being said, Palin did a fine job of reciting the talking points that she has learned.

This time next week all the votes will have been counted and Americans will prepare to welcome a new president, but not until January. Right now, the momentum created by Barack Obama and his team appears unstoppable. While not completely impossible, it is doubtful that John McCain can recover from his trailing position.
