Read it. Even a blind pig can find an acorn now and then, and Salon.com is no different. The most numerous and stable jobs of tomorrow will be those that cannot be offshored, because they must be performed on U.S. soil, and also cannot be automated, either because they require a high degree of creativity or because [...]

The Afghan war is growing increasingly unpopular, it was only a few months ago that most people supported it, now 73% think we should leave. Gordon Brown has belatedly attempted to reverse that today by making the case for staying, whilst simultaneously signposting a way out*. Obama's dithering between the two options of escalating the war or winding down the NATO presence is putting other Nato leaders...

One of the more eclectic entries in my blogroll is that of Scott Adams , creator of the Dilbert cartoon strip. His analysis is always original and thought-provoking, but even I was surprised to find a piece from him that was relevant to the Question Time British National Party Controversy (or as Alice might have put it, "until Wikipedia has a name for it, like the Question Time British National...

For those of you who don't know, I have bi-ritual faculties in the Maronite Rite. I am also told that there is a custom among the Maronites of priests helping their young people find spouses. In other words, being a matchmaker. (In fact, two of my parishioners, Paul and Michelle, parents of the Simonettes, were 'introduced' through the good offices of Abuna Decker.) I have this image in my mind of...

Can I be the only person who finds the whole topic of global warming to be incredibly boring? I try to avoid reading newspaper articles on the subject, which to me, is just as mind numbing as American politics, trouble in Northern Ireland or football. My ideal newspaper would devote the front page to humiliating drivers who turn left without signalling. Then I’d like to see a daily two-page spread...

As a follow-up to Tuesday's post, management guru Scott Adams shows how promotion by a pharmaceutical manufacturer affects physicians' prescribing decisions. Of course, this topic may not be funny for much longer given 40,000 recently announced job cuts by Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Astra-Zeneca or the 16,000 cuts planned by Merck.

Illustration by Patrick Leger Why most mission statements are dumb -- and how to write one that isn't. Here are four mission statements. Two are from real organizations. Two were created by Dilbert's Automatic Mission Statement Generator. Can you guess which ones are genuine? 1. It is our job to continually foster world-class infrastructures as well as to quickly create principle-centered sources...

I normally don’t embed things in this blog, but this one is too good to pass up: Deciding who is important is interesting. Senior management wants to see a plan. Middle manager needs to decide who is important. If Middle Manager says only 8 of 20 are critical, what does that say about the other 12? The only answer that most managers offer is ‘all my employees are critical to the enterprise’....

Q: For the last 7 years, I've been working for a consulting firm--that is, until last week, when I was given my walking papers. This was basically my first "real" job since graduating from college. I am putting together a resume for the first time since the days when I listed student-club memberships and honor rolls on it. Any advice for making a resume stick? - CV.v2 Dear CV.v2 , the first...
