The American Nightmare
Economic recovery? In your dreams! Hey, 99er's, guess what? We are fucked! As I've mentioned before, maybe you should start protesting for the right reasons. If this isn't a wake up call for you, I don't know what is. U.S.... Continue reading

This Is The Internet! "Your" Allowed To Be A MORON.
As much disdain I have for the HR industry, we definitely agree on one point: the importance of using proper grammar and spelling. It has been reiterated over time by HR professionals that job seekers must pay closer attention to... Continue reading

There was nothing wrong with the old compose editor. I'm experiencing similar issues that folks have previously addressed.
I come from the school of "if it ain't broke - don't fix it."

I can see both advantages and disadvantages to books in any form. I'm partial to the hardcover version myself. I feel for anyone that has to make the challenging transition from hardcopy to e-form.
Digital Gardening Books: How's It Going Out There?
A couple of years ago, I wrote a novel about a bookstore struggling to survive after digital books became wildly popular. It was a satire of sorts, based loosely on the bookstore I actually own, and it allowed me to explore every bookseller's worst fear: What if people loved digital books? ...
Do You Have Experience in Bitchfight Management? Apply for the Cubs!
I'd wish President Obama a happy birthday today, but I really don't have it in me to be that generous. I'm still slightly irritated that he was able to woo me with his charming words of sexual chocolate stature almost... Continue reading

Believe me when I say that I am appreciative of your comprehensive knowledge of U.S. history, and I do agree with some of your points, but I think you've missed the point of my post entirely that you have not addressed. While we can place the blame on the Clinton administration for instituting NAFTA, that doesn't help in bringing jobs BACK to American soil. Why are we begging for ANOTHER extension when we should be begging for JOBS.....darlin'.
By the way, our tax dollars pay for up to six months of unemployment (I think). At some point, it's paid for by federal funding.
I Got The Whine. You Bring the Cheese.
The 99ers are giving themselves a bad reputation in a hurry. According to Twitter and Google, the outbursts persist. For all the wrong reasons. It's been an exciting week for the unemployed. Not so exciting for us "seasoned veterans." We are left out of the loop by both society and Congress, and...

Yeah, I'm not so sure if I want to grant unemployment extension after watching this. But, in all fairness, give the guy some credit for trying.
(Operative word: TRYING.)
LOL.

Not sure what I think about this. Especially with a web site domain that reads "giveusourmoney." Adding insult to injury is not the solution, folks.

I Dedicate This Blog Post to the 99ers. By the Way, It’s All Your Fault
I recently read a very funny (but true) quote on my Facebook newsfeed. It said: "People with closed minds have very open mouths." I couldn't help but giggle uncontrollably because nothing is further from the truth. Some folks thrive on... Continue reading

The "Lazy Job Seeker" Stereotype Ends RIGHT NOW
Yeah, I'm pissed off. I'm pissed off at the snooty, cranky Republicans in Congress, as well as the lucky few who have jobs and are quick to make judgments against the "lazy job seekers who are feeding off the government."... Continue reading

Dear IL Primary Candidates: I'm Not Your Ho.
The Illinois primary election took place yesterday, and I'm happy to have been a part of the trifling voter turnout to let my voice be heard. I have an inaudible but optimistic dream that someday I'll be able to pick... Continue reading
