If you’re like me and visit Yahoo, you seen the 101 “news articles” that pop up like clock work about industries that are still hiring and how going back to school is a viable solution for laid-off folk.
Yikes!
Some of these jobs pay even less than Unemployment.
Even the iconic computer geek is finding himself caught between a rack and a hard drive.
And how depressing is it that the NY Times has a section called “The New Poor”?
I prefer the term “Nouveau Pauvre”, thank you very much!

It’s like she’s inside my head and wrote all my thoughts down, uncensored. LOL
Everyone’s favorite TV Mom rants on facebook about the Dem Party’s throwing of Hillary under a bus.
You go girl!
Nobody throws a right strop like Rosie.

Skating may be waning in popularity, but dedicated fans like us are taking to the blogosphere to tell the tale.
Holy Triple Salchow Batman, who else is going to tell us the difference between a Bauer and a Biellmann!

If you’re like me, you grew up at the club, learning to swim and play ball.
One bone of contention is the $4.3 million spend on business travel in 2008. Congress and The Senate itself racked-up almost that exact amount, spending $14.4 million between 2000 and 2004. And that’s just the chunk paid for by “private interest groups”. Government spend is a secret. We only pay the bill, we don’t get to actually see it.
Money spent on conferences was likewise criticized. A total of $1.6 was spent for the year. You may recall that AIG spent nearly half that amount on one single conference right after receiving a major government bail-out.
Yet another thorn in their sides was the $360,774 annual salary paid to the club’s CEO. Expert say this is not out of line with what similar charity executive are paid, but perhaps the Senators are just miffed because they make just $174,000.
AIG of course made the news when it capped salaries at a mere $500,000, except for executive who they deem “essential”. Their CFO makes $3 million in cash a year, $4 million in stock.
Well, I suppose saving big business should be the government’s priority, or we may all be out of a job.
Wait… we already are!

Juanita Goggins made history in 1974 when she became the State Legislature’s first black woman ever to be elected in South Carolina.
The circumstances of her increasing reclusiveness, as well as her inexplicable death, remain a puzzle for the moment.
Perhaps some good will come of her passing, and increased awareness of the issues she was involved with both professionally and personally, will come to pass.
