Happy April Fool’s Day, and today’s post is no JOKE.    I am about to rant about poor customer service.  Perhaps I’m wrong, but maybe I’m right.  For what it’s worth, I am unhappy with the customer service I received thus the company will sadly feel my wrath on this blog.

But heck, Angelie Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twin’s photos are going for $15M to put into People [...]

Well it took 7 months, but apparently MP Dunleavy is now regretting her decision to buy her second home while renting out the first home.  I mentioned this was a stupid idea in December 2007 here.  And last month I asked why is she complaining about paying off debt?  Especially since she was reducing retirement savings to [...]

I had a very heated debate with my mom and aunt when they were visiting over racism in the US.  They are both in their 50s and have not been exposed to many other cultures.  They believe that racism is still rampant in the US.  Neither believe that Barack Obama can become president. That the [...]
