Goodbye for now, Charlie
Yesterday Charlie Edward “Tremendous” Jones “graduated” and I’m sure the welcome home party is at full tilt in heaven today. Tremendous was one of my dearest friends as he was to so many. The cancer eventually diminished his big bear of a body but never touched his spirit. It couldn’t. Because of Charlie I am…
Get Beyond Blaming
Congress is arguing over a bail-out. There’s much blaming going on. They’ll be time for that later; right now it is imperative to act as rapidly as prudently possible. Congress already did a poor job of providing oversight for Wall Street and bank dealings. The only thing they could do to make things worse is…
Look Good

This year I will share, with her permission, something my friend and fellow speaker Shari Harley wrote: “Every year on September 11th I appreciate being alive and wonder why I’m not dead. I worked in the World Trade Center on September…

Double Standards
Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter is pregnant and some are seemingly outraged. I find this ironic given that the vocal majority winked and didn’t think it was a big deal that a married president of the U.S. receives oral sex from an intern in the oval office. A double standard. What is refreshingly amazing about candidate…
