E. Widespread Corruption among Longterm GOP Elected Alaska Officials


Alaska's three elected representatives to the US Senate and Congress have been in Washington for many years. Where there is smoke, there is certainly fire. 2008 is now looking as if it will be the biggest election change in Last Frontier in the state's 49 year history.

H. Information on a Little Known Chapter in Recent History


The scary thing is that a new and improved version of this plan which would be much more sweeping and complete is probably under discussion by inner White House aides and advisors, and Bush and Cheney may be in on these discussions at a peripheral level, at least for now.

I. Great News ! A Greedy Corporation I Once Toiled For Gets Awful News

It is highly rewarding to me personally to see the stock price of Radio Shack sink by almost one-third in just over a month. This company rates as one of the worst employers someone can have as the culture of company is based on the lieing to, bullying, demeaning, and shaming of store level employees by above store level management. I look for this company to go bellyup and die within the next few years.

J. Speaking of Bad Employers...


The flamboyant business page editor of the Denver Post, Al Lewis, had a really entertaining column today and here is the link to read more. It will have you laughing and shaking your head in amazing comical disgust. Corporate America really is headed, managed, and led by mental midgets that have one focus only: the bottom line at the expense of everything else.
