Resolve To Not Resolve

Didn’t make any New Year’s Resolutions last year. Won’t this year either. And this is from a guy that used to make them regularly. More than this, I encourage you to join me. And I hold out a strange hope that you might find yourself achieving even MORE of your goals/resolutions if you do…er, don’t. […]

 In the bleak […]

The Bottom Line is Still the Bottom Line

More on the death of Jmimytai Damour. Actually, this time some disgusting info about Walmart. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, click here, here, or here…) In doing some Googling, I discovered a pitiful CODA to this story. Since the death of Jdimyta three years ago, apparently Walmart has been vigorously contesting a […]
