Exactly. I'm not trying to make a political statement, but I get a cold chill every time I see that video from 2008 of children singing a song about or to at the time Senator/Presidential Candidate Obama. "He's gonna bring happiness..."

I'm not disappointed in any member of Congress or the President. Disappointment implies that you had expectations of them they didn't meet. I expect them to take the lazy, corrupt, or cowardly way out of everything. Therefore, no reason to feel disappointed as they meet my expectation every time. I'm also not disappointed in the MPAA and RIAA. I heard a few years ago somebody was bringing an antitrust suit against them for their monopoly behavior. I assume it's not been successful. This post was well said.

I've heard of death march products before, but goat rodeo is an interesting new way to describe when things go off the rails. I've found, especially in the government, that most problems lie in execution. I'll be bookmarking this post for later reference.

Absolutely.

I have no doubt it will. I went to a Realtor conference. One of the other Realtors from my office had an iPad out, and was whipping through email on it. Wow. Someday I'll have one.

My mother in law worked for K-mart, which bought Sears several years ago. She isn't arguing with me. Anymore, I think Sears is so busy pushing their credit cards they have no time left for customer service. I need to find my Dave Ramsey "Total Money Makeover" to carry around with me at stores. More of Sears' revenue comes from interest payments than from selling merchandise.
