Here’s a perfect example of why Gen X and Gen Y are relying more and more on the 1-2 punch of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert when it comes to delivering the news… they ask the tough questions and state the obvious conclusions that mainstream media is too cowardly and …

Stephen Colbert has America’s economy figured out: Consumption equals Jobs.
The only problem is…
Banks aren’t lending us the money we need –>
To buy the things we don’t need –>
To create the jobs we need –>
To pay back the loans we can’t afford!

Leave it to Dilbert’s observational humor to make me rethink how I spend my days.

My intent isn’t to ruin your day by questioning if half of the things you do everyday are worthless, or possibly generate an unwinnable confrontation by questioning your supervisor’s project management skills, but have you ever …

Leave it to the master of observational comedy — George Carlin — to crank out one of the best anticonsumerism bits in history before the war against “stuff” became an observable microtrend.
I say microtrend because don’t believe the movement (if you can call it that) against buying “more stuff” has …

What a snow storm!
Three days plus 90 minutes without electricity, 3 days without tap water (after power was restored), and 6 days without cable TV & Internet service. Not to mention pulling two people out of a ditch, shoveling 2 rather long driveways by hand, and the personal discomfort of …

Leave it to Colbert’s crack team of writers and producers to catch weeks of targeted advertisements and distill them into an easily observable trend. This time, it’s gold coin and bullion distributors (e.g. resellers) advertising on conservative news sources cleverly designed to make more money off the retail investor by …

I’ve routinely tweeted how ludicrous it is that modern mainstream media picks up one scary story (think Swine Flu) or an infamous scandal (think Tiger Woods “transgressions”) and beats it to death with weeks of value-less coverage.
Look, I realize that times are tough and even the paparazzi have to eat, …

This is probably one of the most damning pieces of evidence of American stupidity that I’ve ever seen.
Nixon had Watergate. Clinton had the (white) stained dress. The American public now has this video proving how clueless we are as a nation.
Prepare to have your mind blown!

With the Thanksgiving holiday bearing down upon us once again, it’s that special time of year when you realize that your aunt still wears too much perfume and you wish God had given you just a little more patience in the personality department.
Wait, that didn’t sound quite right. Thanksgiving is …

You know you’re losing a PR battle when Saturday Night Live calls you out for being a “sack”. Guess that’s what you get when your company, somehow, acquires a healthy supply of Swine Flu vaccines while the immunocompromised segment (e.g. pregnant women, cancer patients, etc.) of the population can’t get …

Most people have had that boss who was a complete idiot. That guy or gal who just didn’t quite get it, but made sure you always did more than your fair share so he had enough data to plot on an excel sheet or project management program to make himself …
