2010: The Year Main Street Sticks It to Wall Street and Washington
If anyone has ever dreamed of being an office holder, 2010 is the year to do it. There are going to be several situations where voters elect a complete unknown, just to express their anger about the incumbent.

Wall Street and the US Government: Where's Jimmy Stewart When We Need Him?
With all the interest in the damage Wall Street has done, activity that's the opposite should draw some attention. But coverage of the corporate social responsibility movement is not yet an idea whose time has come.

Bloody Peasants
Dead Peasant Policies are life insurance policies a company takes out on its employees in order to collect the payoff if and when the employee dies... The concept of peasants isn't foreign or new to me...
