Not impressed: *The only way to get ahead is to be a workaholic ... an unpopular possibility is (to put) a cap put on the maximum rent allowable per square metre in inner city apartments. *

In other words, become a socialist country. Why should landlords suffer for having…

Less-than-perfect? Wow, how could we live without you? Let's see, he was married for only 63 or 64 years and was chosen to portray seven or eight historical greats. Oh, he believed in self-defense, especially for young women. Is that what's bothering you?

Farmboy: I suggest the following inexpensive solution: 9:00 a.m. Turn on Sesame Street. 9:50 a.m. Turn off Sesame Street.

My kids are loving this. We watch on Youtube. Don Music writing the alphabet got the biggest laughs. Now, we mimic him constantly. There's the fun repetition they so badly need.

Buying a house is not like buying a goose that lays golden eggs as so many U.S. citizens seem to believe.

It's interesting to hear the data for the year ending March 2008, but how much did they make during the bubble? They must have done pretty well from 2002…

I guess he didn't read "How to swim with the sharks without getting eaten alive." If he had, he would have learned the importance of treating your employees well. For exceptional employees, you have to turn them into partners otherwise they split and take away business.

Northwest. Why? I love surly flight attendants.

I was flying Northwest and accidentally made a loud "pop" noise while opening my bag of peanuts. A flight attendant rushed over and said, "I've only heard that from children!" Some kompanies just tend to tolerate that nasty behavior and it spreads. I…

Ortiz has been horrible for quite some time now after having some success in 2002 when he was probably one of the top dozen or so pitchers in the American League. He'll have to work on his changeup to become non-horrendous.

"a tad on the chubby side"
