The Obama Effect and YOU
The best thing about Election Day is not necessarily a new president. In my opinion, the best thing about Election Day is that those annoying, bickering, childish commercials that bombard our senses on a never-ending basis -- mercifully -- come to an end. Next comes the coronation of Barack Obama, as he takes the ruby-red slippers off of George Bush's feet, prompting him to shrivel up and goes away, a-la ~The Wizard of Oz~.

Change? Be Careful What You Wish For!
“Change!” is the political battle cry du jour. The word presidential candidates recently used to signify flip-flopping today signifies America’s New Year’s self improvement mandate. But let’s be accurate in separating spin from actual policy. Why and what kind of change, if any, do we really need?

And So It Ends
And so it ends. I’m going to assume that I don’t need to go into too much back-story, given how much publicity the New York State Attorney General’s case against Dick Grasso, formerly the overpaid head of the New York Stock Exchange, has garnered from all corners.

How Can Suze Orman Be So Wrong?
Financial guru Suze Orman was Oprah Winfrey's guest yesterday. Don't get me wrong - I don't watch the show. Please. I'm not that shallow.
Where was I? Oh, right. So Dr. Phil had just wrapped up another excellent broadcast (the man is a genius) and the TV was still on.
