Like many sports fans, I've been following the "developing" story about the three UCLA basketball freshman athletes who created an international "Ugly American" uproar a couple of weeks ago by shoplifting designer sunglasses while in China to kick off UCLA's current...
The Ultimate Photo Op–Not
You just gotta love this photo "op" taken in the Rose Garden on 10/16 and now making the media rounds across the country, the ultimate boost to the pharmaceutical industry. No wonder the stock markets seem to love the current political dysfunction in D.C. today. Could...
When Bad Things Happen
When bad things happen. Huh? Wait a minute. I think my mind wandered. I think I slipped a gear. Let me start over. Let me try again. When bad things happen . . . who's to blame? What are we to do? Let's look at a couple of examples. Max Nikias, President of USC, and...
The Champion Of The 180 . . . Pivot Or Should I Say Divot Or Even Pendulum?
The Pivot . . . Or The Divot? Not only does reliability and integrity in politics seem to be missing in action, but most voters today don't seem to even care any longer. Today, what voters seem more interested in is who they line up for and not what they say. At first...

It Ain’t Me Babe

What Happens When William Shakespeare Meets Ricky Gervais
The Prologue—London, Sometime Circa 1599 “To be or not to be, that is the question.” Is it not? Isn’t that what William Shakespeare had on his mind when he penned Hamlet? Well most of us know that, but do you also know what was behind that most infamous of questions?...
Musical Chairs: Round and Round We Go, Where It Stops . . .
What a week. Of musical chairs. When will it stop? Where will it stop? What? The Week From . . . Beset by leaks and infighting, hoping to find some sense of order in all the chaos, The Donald hired a new Communications Director, The Mooch. Which led to the immediate...
