Congress never seems to run out of ways to fail the people that elected them. Yesterday, they voted heavily in favor of granting telephone companies immunity from prosecution over the illegal wiretapping program that the Bush administration used to spy on Americans. Lesson here? Break the law for the right people and they’ll change the […]
Damn it, is there anything Ann Arbor can do right? Cool business? Check. Favorite place at which townies and student alike hang out? Check. Greedy-assed landlords pricing out successful 10-year-old business? Double-check. Straight from Todd, Leopold’s is gone by this summer.

It’s short, so go read the whole thing. Marvel at the whining of one of the largest Internet companies to ever grace this planet. Bask in the innuendo. This is fear, folks, plain and simple.

Endlessly talk about, price out, and search for discounts on an MacBook, but then end every conversation with “…but I’m not going to buy one.” Take out cilantro and set it on the counter whenever […]
An alcoholic is someone you don’t like who drinks as much as you do. – Dylan Thomas
It’s Parkers Family Farms Peanut Butter. Or, so claims Dave Pell. Good luck finding it in Michigan though. Where’s the closest Wal-Mart?
Desktop search too much for your email-sifting needs? Always felt that all that email meant something about the people you received it from and sent it to? It actually does. Email, the much maligned, outdated, and dying communication medium is stil, like it or not, the prevalent way to communicate in business and, for most […]
