  • Customer Service – The President Murdered Grandma - It has been said that President Franklin D. Roosevelt was tired of the typical small talk and flattery he received when meeting with adoring guests at various White House receptions. FDR was certain that guests really weren’t listening to what he had to say, so at one particular event President Roosevelt decided he would make the exact same comment to each guest to see if, in fact, they were listening.
  • Pardon Me? That will be $6.95! Or how to market anything with free publicity! - PARDON ME? Remember back in 2001, when President Clinton was leaving office and he issued (or sold) all those presidential pardons? The news coverage never ended. So, deciding to make a political statement, I started issuing presidential pardons for the common man.
  • Could You Answer Some Questions - Senator Obama, I thought I would write and ask a few questions about some things that just don't seem right to me. First, how did you manage to get Gov Richardson to give you his endorsement this week? As we both know, Gov. Richardson would not be in the position where he is today if it were not for President Clinton and Hillary Clinton. He held two prominent positions in the Clinton administration and the ex-president campaigned for the Gov. when he first ran for the governorship of New Mexico. So, my question is what did you promise Gov. Richardson in exchange for his endorsement? Some political deal must have been made. Did you offer him the Vice Presidential position in your administration?
  • John McCain for President? Yeah, Right. - Does this accurately describe your reaction to John McCain? If it is, I quite agree. In fact, I have no intention of supporting him whatsoever. I've been holding my nose for the Republican presidential candidates since I was old enough to vote, and I haven't seen much of a return on my support. Up to now, they've been lackluster at best. This year, the Republicans managed to nominate the only human being that could make me look back on either of the Bushes or Bob Dole and say "I wish our nominee was one of them instead". Now, everyone is adamant that we vote for McCain. They say there's a world of difference between him and Obama, and let's say that's true. What's he done about it since 2000 or so?
  • You Are Your Own President! - Congratulations! You are the president of your own nation, and it is called "Imagination". This particular nation is the driving force behind your life and is the underlying factor for your future. You need to realize that you have an enormous responsibility as the President of this Nation, because you need to always focus on the future and strive to have the ultimate nation. You need to internalize the power you have as the President of your own nation. Among many things that you have is the power to choose and/or consider. You are the one who holds the votes on who is allowed to live in your nation! As I have written about in the past, you must create and begin to maximize your mastermind team.
  • To Give Respect When It's Due: Charles Rangel - No one currently in the United States Congress has the guts and might to say what is truly on his mind except Harlem's own Charles B. Rangel. A member of Congress since 1971, he unseated the legendary Adam Clayton Powell to represent Harlem in Washington D.C. Charles Rangel, the heart and soul of the United States Congress stated in August 2006, that he will resign his seat if the Democrats did not take the House in November. The mid-term elections in November are so important to our country. The elections have been termed as a "cleaning of house" in which many hope that the Democrats will regain seats lost in Congress back in 1994. Well they did and the Dems came back with a vengeance passing important policies within the first 100 days of the 110th Congress.
  • Barack Obama: Astrology of a Presidential Candidate - Barack Obama is a Leo, which is not surprising as it is often the sign of a famous man - and especially a famous politician. He is the Junior United States Senator and the only African American serving in the U.S.

  • September 11th Remembered 5 Years After The Start Of The Iraq War - There is much in the news these days about the 5 years the United States has been in the Iraq War. On March 20,, 2003 we began an invasion of another country and we have occupied this country since then.
  • Open Letter To Senator Clinton & Senator Obama - Are both of you crazy? If you both keep up the gender and race issues, you just might as well hold the door open for President McCain as he moves into the White House. I am so disappointed in both of you. I am one of the unheard voices that I expect both of you to be listening to. But you can’t be listening if you are so busy apologizing for your campaigns! Can’t you manage the people around you? Well, if you can’t, how can I trust either of you to manage the White House? I am having immense doubts on this point with both of you. Maybe it is better that we only have white males to run for this high office because it has become obvious that if you are black or a woman, you can’t stop name calling!
  • Sarkozy Sees Sense On Blair Presidency - It has not been made official yet but it’s already doing the rounds of the media both here in France and across the channel in Britain. The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, is apparently not going to back former British prime minister, Tony Blair, as a candidate to become the first president of the European Union. Instead Sarkozy is thought be ready to throw his weight behind the prime minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Juncker. That should come as a relief to many a committed Europhile.
  • Can Women Govern? - The answer to that question can be found in the historical record. From September 23, 1953 to July 7, 1954,Sühbaataryn Yanjmaa acted as Chairman of the Presidium of the People's Great Khural of Mongolia making her the first women political ruler in contemporary history (except for queens). The first elected female political ruler as well as the first woman president in Europe was Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, president of Iceland from August 1, 1980 to August 1, 1996. Since then there have been several women presidents. Currently, Mary McAleese is president of Ireland while Helen Clark is the prime minister of New Zealand. She became the second woman prime minister on December 10, 1999 when she succeeded Jenny Shipley.
  • Barack Obama: Seven Reasons He's The Right Choice - I'm voting for Barack Obama this November 4th for President of the United States. What follows in this article are 7 of the many reasons I am voting for Obama and not John McCain. 1. Obama was against the Iraq war from the start. Very few politicians had the integrity and the judgment to know that the Iraq war was a mistake before it began. John McCain certainly did not. McCain was one of the many politicians who thought Iraq would be a short easy war and that American soldiers would be "greeted like liberators" in Iraq. 2. Obama will lower taxes for people making less than $111,645 per year (that includes me, unfortunately!) more than John McCain will. McCain has been running many misleading advertisements which make the claim that Obama is raising taxes across the board. That is not true.
  • Joseph Biden: Vice Presidential Astrology - Joseph Biden is the democratic candidate for Vice President in the 2008 election with Presidential candidate Barack Obama. He has been a Delaware senator since 1973 and is known for being one of the youngest senators ever elected.
  • Bi-Party Tickets Totally Senseless - I receive a daily news feed from Salon, and for the past two days I have received articles about Obama-Hagel and McCain-Lieberman unity tickets. I have just three words for those who believe such events will happen: it ain't happening. Abraham Lincoln was the last president to choose a vice president from the other party, when he ran for re-election in 1864.
  • 15 David Letterman Quotes to Celebrate the Comedian's Birthday - Why is now the perfect time for some fun and entertaining David Letterman quotes? Because his birthday is right around the corner! Dave's going to be 61! Let's help him celebrate by reflecting on these 15 hilarious David Letterman quotes. 1. "Dick Cheney said he was running again. He said his health was fine, 'I've got a doctor with me 24 hours a day.' Yeah, that's always the sign of a man in good health, isn't it?" 2. "Last night the United States dropped four 2,000 pound bombs on Saddam Hussein. I don't know anything about explosives, but, my God, do those things even need to explode?" 3. "President Bush has been silent on Schwarzenegger.
  • The Man That is Oscar Arias Sanchez - Oscar Arias Sanchez is the current president of the country of Costa Rica. He first assumed office on May 8, 2006 and is currently serving his second term. He had first been elected president on May 8, 1986 and served until May 8, 1990. President Arias is best known as one of the driving figures behind the end of the Central American civil wars during the 1980s. For his efforts, Oscar Arias Sanchez received the Nobel Peace Price in 1987.
  • President Obama's Speech and Home Business Opportunity - Upon reflecting on President Obama's speech and what it meant has pre-occupied me these past few days in a very positive sense. As a person who is promoting the values of working from home through various home business opportunity offerings, my ears pricked up when the President told the story of the 106 year lady and the changes she had seen in her lifetime and how it was the people who brought about those changes not a specific individual hence the mantra Yes We Can.
  • 12 Johnny Carson Quotes to Celebrate His Birthday - Who wouldn't want to read some Johnny Carson quotes? Especially during the month of his birthday! After all, this beloved entertainer made us laugh and, eventually, made us cry. These 12 Johnny Carson quotes go out to all of the Johnny fans who want to remember him during this time of year. 1. “Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president.” 2. “Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.” 3.
  • President Elect Barack Obama: A Biography - Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His father was a black man (also named Barack Obama) born in Africa and his mother was a white woman born in Kansas. Obama's father and his mother separated and divorced when Obama was a young child. His mother remarried in 1967 when Obama was 6 years old to a man named Lolo Soetoro. His family moved to Soetoro's home country which was Indonesia. Obama lived there until he was 10 years old when he returned to live in Hawaii with his maternal grandparents who raised him from then on. Obama moved to Los Angeles for college. After two years he transferred to Columbia University in New York City.
  • Panama: The Politics - Politics in Panama has been more of constitutional democracy throughout the 20th century. The history of coup led by General Manuel Noriega back in 1968 has brought power to the military as Noriega had manipulated most of the highest officials of the government. It resulted to economic and diplomatic conflicts within Panama which affects the US relation to Panama. When Panama lost efforts to remove the dictatorship of Noriega, the US stepped with intentions to protect its assets established in Panama.
  • The Peril of Keeping Candidate Faith On The Down-Low - Exactly what does Mitt Romney's public address reveal about the significance of candidate disclosure of faith? The American electorate cannot be expected to buy into the myth that a candidate's faith will not influence their electability. Platform and politics over prayer. Spin over spirit. Facts over faith. The electorate needs to reconsider its position in the coming season of elections, especially as it votes for the next President of the United States. The vote should not be political, the vote should be prayerful which means it will require faith. In so many ways, Governor Romney was cautious to say that his faith would not influence his decision-making process as President.
  • Sarah Palin's Astrology Chart - Alaskan governor Sarah Palin is one of the most polarizing figures on the American election. Unfortunately, she has invited criticism for most things she has done. Perhaps this is because of some unfortunate planetary influences in her astrological chart currently going on in the sky. Sarah Palin was born in Sandpoint, Idaho on February 11th, 1964. Palin's astrological chart reveals that she is an influential individual, whether that influence is for better or worse. Her youthful appearance is the result of being a forward thinking Aquarius and her Leo rising gives her a lot of charisma. The television cameras can't seem to take their lenses off her.
  • John McCain: Astrology of a Presidential Candidate - John McCain has an almost perfect triad of planets for a world leader. He was born August 29, 1936 in Canal zone, Panama. His Sun is in sensible Virgo, his moon is in practical Capricorn, and his ascendant (or rising sign as it is also sometimes known) is in fair-minded Libra. Put together, this makes an individual that is a bit cold, but would take care to always make the right decision.
  • Summit On Faith Based Schools More Powerful Than Money - During his final State of the Union Address, President Bush announced two proposals for faith-based schools; one, a grants program for low-income students similar to Pell Grants for college students, and the other a national Presidential summit on faith-based education. The summit is more important than the grants program.
  • Is Sarah Palin a Woman Of Destiny? - I first heard about Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin on the AOL movers and shakers headline article last April. The brief article outlined her accomplishments and highlighted what a reformer she was for Alaska. Immediately I thought, will Sen John McCain think to add this woman to his ticket? Would it be the right political move to have a woman Vice President? This thought alone brought a smile to my face as we all expect woman to make headway in politics here in America. Hillary Clinton has paved the wave on the national level and it is a matter of time before a woman is president of the United States or even Vice President. Two of the most powerful positions in the world.
  • Proof That McCain Is Not Ready To Be President: Sarah Palin - John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for his VP nominee calls into serious question his judgment. It also calls into question his talking points of "putting the country first," "experience," & "ready to lead." On top of that it actually greatly contradicts his reputation as a so called "maverick." It now appears clear that McCain's choice of Palin was a rash decision made only after his first choice of Joe Lieberman was shot down by the far right wing of the Republican party. The McCain campaign did not properly look into Palin's background. And in fact McCain had met Palin only one time before he invited her to be his VP.
  • Freedom of Religion?...Yeah RIGHT!...As Long as it is Theirs! - This is not about us. It is about a religious right movement aimed at controlling our private lives, who we can be with, what we can do in our bedrooms, and with our bodies. And some how, they have ordained themselves with the superiority of God in their pursuit of this righteous behaviour that their beliefs are the only way to salvation. Wow! Such arrogance... And now McCain, with this outrageous appointment of country bumpkin Palin, in his desperate efforts to be President, is willing to allow these selfish, self-interested groups and individuals to control his choices as his payment to the White House. A group that he fell from grace with 4 years ago, prompting him to say, 'to hell with everything else! I MUST be President!... ...
  • Luxurious Hotels At The Heart Of India - As the business and entertainment center of India, many visitors to Mumbai are looking for lavish accommodations that can fulfill their need to work and play. Several hotels in the area are able to do that. Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is the capital of Marahashtra, a state in India. It is a city that is responsible for most of India’s trade and entertainment. Because of its importance as a business hub for India, there have been a number of hotels established in Mumbai to cater to traveling businessmen as well as tourists. One of the most popular hotels in the area is the Taj President Hotel, which is located in the middle of the business district of Mumbai. The Taj President has 292 rooms including 20 executive suites.
  • Finding a Job Super Fast Using Faxing - You’re in big demand no matter what industry you are searching for work in. A company can’t function without its employees.
  • Closed Circuit TV: Keeping Presidents, Politicians, And The Public Safe - We all know the story. The date was April 14, 1865. Four people were in the presidential box of Ford's theater, enjoying "Our American Cousin," a comedy play about a rugged American and his noble English relatives. They included Major Henry Rathbone, Civil War veteran; and his fiancé Clara Harris, daughter of a U.S. Senator. Also seated in the box were President Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Marry Todd Lincoln. Lincoln was shot while watching the performance. He died the next day.
  • If Obama Wins, I Am Going To Buy Stocks - If the Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama, wins the Presidential election on November 4th, I'll be investing in the stock market on November 5th. Why? Because Democrats haven proven time and time again to be much better at leading the economy than Republicans have. The Democrats approach the economy from the perspective that every American deserves to prosper, while the Republicans approach it with the idea that the rich need to get richer and that somehow some of those riches will "trickle down" to the rest of us. This is more than just my opinion.
  • 2008 Election: One Woman, One Vote, One President? - As a self-professed political junkie, I have been rabidly following the 2008 Presidential primary season since, well, early 2007. This year's election is exhilarating for many reasons, not the least of which is that, for the first time in our nation's history, the Democratic nominee for President will be either a woman or an African American.
  • 14 Johnny Carson Quotes to Commemorate the Birthday of a TV Legend - October 23rd will commemorate Johnny Carson's birthday, and what better way to do it than with a few great Johnny Carson quotes. Let's celebrate the years we had with a man who entertained us all. He came into our living rooms each and every week, making us laugh and creating memories to last a lifetime. These fourteen quotes are a reminder of just how much we lost the day Johnny left us. 1. "Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president." 2. "I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing." 3. "Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace.

HTE Americas company is one of those, with a unique twist that we found intriguing and had to take a deeper look into not only the product, but the income opportunity as well. Have you ever heard of a SOQI Bed? Its a pretty interesting concept and consider the "New Negative Potential Body Enhancer" as projected on HTE Americas website, but what exactly is it? In short its a bed that makes you healthier, and for $4,300 you can have what is considered as your own spa right in the comfort of your own home.
  • What To Do With Your Stimulus Tax Rebate - More than likely you are already getting excited about the big check you are probably going to get from the government. You may even be mentally shopping for some gizmo or gadget you have had you eye on. That can be a fatal mistake. Now, I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but the plain truth is, I don’t really like this government plan to try to stimulate the economy and pull us away from a possible recession by having you hurry out and spend the money at some store.
  • Ecommerce – Entrepreneurial Perseverance - "It is time for us to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever, the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it." - Vince Lombardi How does ecommerce differ from entrepreneurialism? Well, the former is dependent on the latter. What this means is that for every ecommerce business there is an entrepreneur that had to balance risk and reward and determine to move forward with a business plan, proposal and ecommerce site. Entrepreneurialism is bolstered by the ability to develop a business that can reach around the world and back. Entrepreneurialism is the mindset and soul of a business; ecommerce is how an entrepreneur can realize a very personal dream. Entrepreneurialism is a patchwork quilt of ideas that seeks out likeminded consumers through ecommerce. These two roles are uniquely different, but also distinctly compatible in the development of an online business.
  • Eleanor And Ike: Historical Fiction Parallels Today's Presidential Politics - My first attempt at fiction, The Sex Ed Chronicles, was based on historical events in my hometown and state, but it was a story of fictional characters. However, there are brilliant works of historical fiction that stay truer to history, when they use well-known historical figures in alternate scenarios.
  • Simba Makoni For President 2008 – A Chance For Zimbabwe To Move From The Polarization Of The Past And Make Zimbabwe To Work Again - Zimbabwe’s defining moment In 2 weeks time, on March 29, 2008, Zimbabweans have a chance to stop their suffering by rejecting the dictatorship in favor of a new dawn in the way they want the affairs of Government to be conducted. While local Government and legislative elections are also very important, the most crucial elections will be that for the Presidency.
  • Can Short-Term Brand "Candidate Obama" Transform Successfully Into Long-Term Brand "President Obama"? - A spate of recent articles about the Obama brand have, in my view as an expert on marketing, neglected the brand's strategy and focused its verbal or visual expressions. But far more important is the distinction between the short-term brand, "Candidate Obama," and the long-term brand, "President Obama." So far candidate Obama's campaign exemplifies perfect wizardry in short term branding. For those who had not yet encountered this terminology, a short term brand is a pre-planned meteoric and relatively short-lived marketing success. "The Da Vinci Code," is a classic example. Huge success – but fleeting. Short term branding entails the kindling of enthusiasm, expertly and speedily, in a selected target group.
  • A Review of the HTE Americas Income Opportunity - Okay, we have to admit that the health and wellness industry today is larger than ever before and it seems as though everyday we are finding new companies starting up are always offering a chance to cure this and cure that or at least help with discomfort. HTE Americas company is one of those, with a unique twist that we found intriguing and had to take a deeper look into not only the product, but the income opportunity as well. Have you ever heard of a SOQI Bed? Its a pretty interesting concept and consider the "New Negative Potential Body Enhancer" as projected on HTE Americas website, but what exactly is it?
  • Tattoos Designs In History - President Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill's mother had something in common. They both wore tattoos. While Jennie Churchill's tattoo was allegedly covered for the sake of reputation, and Teddy Roosevelt's was simply in a location which was not readily visible, this caused quite a stir amongst most of their day as well as modern-day history buffs. President Roosevelt's daughter Alice had a tattoo also in a concealed location. Neither Mrs Churchill nor President Roosevelt's artwork lent itself to gaining a sense of respectability amongst the average citizens. Even whilst such notable figures possessed tattoos, they were still found to be socially unacceptable Ancient Tattoos Going as far back as any studies go on the question, it is claimed that the "Ice Man" who lived some 3300 B.C., had some manner of tattoos.
  • Picks for the first Obama Cabinet - Now that President-elect Obama has the election out of the way and a mandate to govern this nation with a new style.
  • Sarkozy Outs Himself As Céline Dion Fan - Thankfully nobody broke into song but emotions were running high on Thursday as the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, bestowed this country’s highest honour, the Légion d'honneur, on the Canadian chanteuse Céline Dion. The ceremony took place at the president’s official residence, the Elysée palace; the day after Dion had opened a series of sold-out concerts in the French capital – the first time she has performed in Paris since 1999. In what might have been a speech inspired by listening to a few too many of her songs, Sarkozy waxed lyrical in his praise for Dion who has released albums in both English and French. He thanked her for “making the French language shine abroad” and extolled the power of her music.
  • When is Thanksgiving - Every year, just as Halloween passes, and the reality of the impending Christmas shopping season takes residence, the question arises of when is Thanksgiving.
  • Generation Engage: Raising Kids Who Change The World - By the time the next President is in the third year of his or her term, my teenagers will be eligible for the draft. Believe me, we're watching the candidates closely when it comes to their views on war - and arguing about them. If your family's anything like ours, you're probably discussing issues around the dinner table during this election year. Parents have a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime chance to inspire our kids to consider the habit of activism, even if they can't vote this time around. Along with lively conversations and family debates, why not use the power of story when it comes to raising world-changers? As Woodrow Wilson used to say, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword. Through Readergirlz, our 5000-member on-line forum at MySpace and Facebook, we're seeing teens make the connection between great stories and world-changing action.
  • Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Speaks Out - It’s just what France (and the world) has been waiting for – the real story behind the marriage of the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, and his third wife Carla. And that’s exactly what it’s going to get on Thursday – apparently – with the release of a new book “La Véritable Histoire de Carla et Nicolas”.
  • Citizens Owe Our Soldiers a New G.I. Bill - I have a novel in editing, a story of a college administration in the aftermath of the murder of a U.S. Army recruiting officer. I chose as my venue a privately supported engineering school, historically friendly to the military that had relied on receiving a considerable amount of tuition revenues through ROTC and the G.I Bill. My fictional school is in trouble: its image has been compromised by the murder, and the military benefits can't cover the full freight anymore. In researching my story, I had to understand military recruiting as well as the G.I Bill. I found myself surprised that the college education benefits under the G.I Bill today are not as expansive as they were after World War II.
  • Sarkozy Starts Visit to Israel - The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, begins a three-day visit to Israel on Sunday in what the press back home is reporting as further proof of an improvement in relations between the two countries. It'll be only the third time a French president has visited Israel, and Sarkozy is likely to have a far more conciliatory tone than his predecessors. That shouldn't be too difficult. In 1996, during a visit to Jeruslam's old town, Jacques Chirac lost his rag with Israeli security as he was jostled during a walkabout and famously threatened to take the first 'plane home.
