Yesterday, I took you through 7 styles that should be dead.  Today I’ll take you through 5 fashions I rock, but probably shouldn’t.  Keep in mind fashion doesn’t mean IN fashion.  We all develop our own personal styles, which is often a representation of who we are and how we feel comfortable.

With all the bad news going on since, oh about January of this year, I thought we’d change the subject for a few days over Christmas.  The news is slow anyway.  Today is 7 men’s styles that simply kill me.  I laugh at people that follow these.  If you follow them, I’ll laugh at you [...]

Originally one post, I’ve broken it into two parts. Today is how corporate executives are paid. Tomorrow is how they should be paid.
The hot topic for this week is going to be executive pay lead by Merrill Lynch’s and Wachovia’s recent news. We’ve all hated how much corporate executives made over the [...]
