Comments regarding a previous Businessweek article about Gen X-ers in the corporate workplace.
Clinton put the kibosh on drilling in ANWAR citing it wouldn't have made a difference for ten years. Well, we're at the 10 year mark, and Americans are being screwed in their pocketbooks. Now, the Democrats are using the same argument. When will they learn?

Thank goodness for the communicative power of the internets, otherwise we would have never been able to call Marvel out on this absurdity.
Marvel Studio insiders are now wagging their fingers at us, wondering how we could be so gullible, and believe them to be so stupid. Here's where you can collectively roll your eyes.

Thanks to Ashley's work ethic and savvy cultivation of her peer group as a target market, Whateverlife began pulling in more teenage girls than a Justin Timberlake concert - about a million a day. With a big audience, the site attracted advertisers. Ashley's first check was for $2,700. The next was for $5,000, the third for $10,000.
It seems that China is in a sort of infantile state in which it perceives the world in terms of what it wants, ignoring the proven principles of the west. Just because the principles are western in origin doesn't make them incorrect. The author is right, we should stand up as friends who are ready and willing to stand up for those principles we believe in.

I come from a tradition of Western culture, in which the ideal (my ideal) was the complex, dense and “cathedral-like” structure of the highly educated and articulate personality—a man or woman who carried inside themselves a personally constructed and unique version of the entire heritage of the West. [But now] I see within us all (myself included) the replacement of complex inner density with a new kind of self—evolving under the pressure of information overload and the technology of the “instantly available.”
