The following story has been told in various incarnations for more than 40 years.

Aside from tax rebates, has there really been strong economic advances under the Bush Administration?In its current issue, Business Week does a quick roundup of this so-called expansion,

This time Jennifer at My Organized Biz started it, then it spread to Tom over at The 501 (c) Files and now (oh, be still my pounding heart) to me.

In a post about the repercussions of sexual peccadilloes I said, “I’m also wondering how many other patrons of this current sting will be outed. If he’s [Eliot Spitzer] the only name made public then, to me, something else stinks a lot worse than his hiring a prostitute.”

Of course, it’s all excused in the name of capitalism and keeping investors happy, while their advertising […]
If you haven’t heard it already, here’s a story guaranteed to make you think at least twice before opting for any kind of avoidable surgery or hospital stay.

I’ve written several posts focusing on healthcare, starting with the newest way to screw the un/under insured (which I sincerely hope you’ll forward to your federal and state politicians), a series focusing on why US healthcare is an oxymoron and one on doctors’ conflicts-of-interest, so it’s nice to be able to offer up the story […]
In honor of President’s Day, the Biz Channel’s intrepid editor Kelly, AKA Tax Girl, wrote an amazing post linking quotes from all 43 Presidents to an appropriate blog, which took a ton of work and is very cool!But as I read through it I had a sinking feeling and my stomach started getting queasy.
