Why Would You Say That?

American Express has announced that it is going to tighten its belt, in light of the economic downturn. Cardholders aren't spending as much, and so the firm is going to lay off people, the announcement read. I understood that part. They also said they are cutting back on corporate travel and entertainment. Even if that is true, if a huge part of your business is based on getting your customers to travel and enterain, why would you tell the world that YOU are against the things that make up the core of your business?

Money for Nothing

Here are a couple of random thoughts, while waiting for the market to open. Should the L.A. Dodgers play the Red Soxs in the World Series, the Soxs will be paying for Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez to beat them. (Part of the trade that sent Manny from the Red Soxs to the Dodgers during the season required the Soxs to continue to pay all of Manny's salary for the year.) It gets better. If the Dodgers win, not only will Manny get a World Series ring, he will get two bonus checks. The first, for being a member of the winning team. And, the Sox will pay him a pro-rated share of what the losing team receives to cover the time he played for them during the season. Sure beats trying to make money in the market.. More…

Couldn’t They Donate Their Money Instead?

Couldn’t They Donate Their Money Instead? There is no doubt the economy is hurting, but you would never know it judging by the record number of Presidential ads you see on television. That thought was brought home for me last night as my college-aged daughter and I watched the Yankees-Red Sox game instead of the Democratic convention. (It is not that we are a-political. We both already know who we are going to vote for. And Shannon (a passionate Sox fan) and I (someone who has rooted for the Yankees since I discovered baseball when I was seven back in 1961) have a standing date—complete with pizza and trash talking—whenever the two teams play.)

The 11 Worst Movie Quotes for Men to Use on a First Date

More…On a first date, both people are very aware of how things look, carefully attending to their appearance and words.

But men have been known to lack judgment in these highly charged moments. Here are the eleven worst movie quotes a man can mention when he is out on a first date. 

One Shot

I saw the video '8 Mile' the other day. It's an interesting movie that ends with an interesting song called Lose Yourself by Eminem. It's a good rap song with the obligatory amount of profanity and some impressive bursts of reflective thought. One part of the song goes as follows:"You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo." I have two issues with these lyrics. First, you don't only get one shot. You get lots of shots, if you play it right. Second, what's up with 'yo'? Can you just make up sounds to get a rhyme in rap? More…
