    Small businesses turning to spam

    I’ve noticed a disturbing trend in the last few weeks and months. As the economy continues its downward spiral, more and more small businesses are turning to email marketing through harvested lists. I’m not talking about shady unknowns hocking “enlargement” remedies to lists of millions of addresses being sent through open botnets of open relays. [...]

    Foreclosure rant

    Rick Santelli goes off on the foreclosure bailout and becomes our hero of the day. He pretty much sums up what every hard working person who pays their mortgage and bills each month feels.

    Foreclosure bailouts an insult

    You would think the financial bailouts, the auto bailouts, and the most massive “stimulus” bill in history would be enough government spending for a while. Oh no! Now we have to bail out all the people who are in home foreclosure at the estimated cost of $50 billion (sure to balloon as we have seen [...]

An ever increasing number of ads are so unintelligible that I have no clue what they are trying to say or what message they are trying to convey about their product.

    bailout, Cars

    The auto industry gets your money

    It’s official. The auto industry has gotten a 17.4 billion (with a “B”) dollar bailout… and that is just for a start to hold them over until the new administration and congress gets in office. As our Ford Explorer starts to fall apart conveniently as the warranty expires and the dealer admits the extended warranty [...]
