First off, I want all Americans to know that Change.gov is a link with BarackObama.com. This is where you can voice your suggestions and recommendations to help guide our country - and the world - into the 21st century. Don’t miss out on using your voice - often! (There’s more to this post, so keep reading… (more…)

Whenever I get one of these, I check them out. I do NOT click the link in the email. Instead I head over to Snopes.com and put a few words into their search field.

Unfortunately, this one appears to be the real deal - and WILL launch a virus - so if you haven’t read this one yet, please DO: (more…)

One of our “tenets” in our tag line for this blog includes “hot topic news” and this most certainly fits the bill. Please read on!

I must be having withdrawal symptoms since my favorite MSNBC news shows air only Monday through Friday. So it’s digging deep into our local, “switch sides every other day” (sound familiar?) local newspaper, The Las Vegas Review Journal that grabbed my attention this morning.

Actually much of the following - other than my own two cents - comes from a section of the paper, the Las Vegas Sun (don’t ask me what their relationship is - but the one does stick in parts of the other). And, just so you know up front, the Las Vegas Sun endorses Obama.

While I figure out a way to pull my how to make money online post together (writer’s block at the moment), it did occur to me that I do have something to say. (more…)

Today doing some of my favorite type of marketing, stumbling at StumbleUpon, I came across an amazing website by a lovely woman by the name of Carol Olmstead.

Whether you want to believe it or not, your surroundings very well might be the thing holding you back from collecting “wealth,” no matter what you perceive wealth to be or mean. (more…)

It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse (a liberal gift) out of public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that (more…)

Yesterday I promised you a truly eye-opening and heartwarming story for this post, but first my recap (rant) of what went down last night during the Vice Presidential debate. As we gathered our pizza boxes and drinks and settled down with an atmosphere not unlike the Super Bowl, here’s my conclusions:

First off, my understanding ever since grade school (no earlier, ever since the first time your parents asked you a direct question), you answer the question. Only kids and people with something to hide dodge a direct question. Frankly, even in marketing, it’s best to say, “I do not know, but I will find out the answer for you!” then to pretend you are either answering it or worse yet saying, “I don’t want to answer that question, instead I want to talk about…”

As a reader of this blog, you know our aim is the day to day pursuit of helping you be successful. Politics was never on the menu… until this evening. I’ve got stuff to say and I’m going to say it.

You know what the trouble in this country is? It’s the inability for the people of this great nation to gather as one voice and declare, “We have had enough!”

To this very day, rather than have to exert the fraction of mental energy involved to come to logical, well informed, decisions, is it true that people are just blind little sheep wanting to be lead? (more…)

UPDATE 9/25 at 4:03 p.m. - we just test installed it and unfortunately while installation went smoothly, as soon as it was activated the entire blog disappeared - never fear just deleting the plugin brought the blog back online. However, we urge caution and read, read, read first
