In all this talk about GM’s financial health, the most important element of any potential turnaround has been woefully neglected: the company’s corporate culture. GM’s is so utterly dysfunctional that it makes John Wayne Gacey’s home life seem like Peter Brady’s. There is no way– no way whatsoever– that GM can recover with its current [...]

I'm going to tell a funny on my son. A couple weeks back he had to watch a movie based on an historical event for a class and then write a paper about it. He watched The Alamo , John Wayne version. The instructor hasn't given the papers back yet, but someone asked about them this morning in class and he said although he hadn't finished grading them all (it's the last week of class), so far they were...

Here's Barack and Hillary (the clip is about 15 minutes long): I watched the whole thing and was impressed, and proud. I actually felt very emotional and filled with hope. I think one thing I haven't made clear is that I really admire both Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as Hillary, Janet and Susan-- three fiercely intelligent and determined women, dedicated to keeping us safe and

I've always had a theory that one of the reasons that Democrats are perceived as being soft on national defense is because a lot of them look soft. You could line up the entire House of Representatives and Senate and pick out the Republicans and Democrats on appearance alone with about 90% accuracy.

The names of the new members of the national security team announced today by President-elect Barack Obama have been circulating for weeks, with much the speculation and analysis around them focusing on the wisdom of selecting New York Sen.
