We received the following letter from our U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown. I feel a whole lot better knowing some of his thought process on the $700 Billion “bailout”. I am sure that he shared the same thoughts with all of his constituents who wrote him concerning this issue so I am sharing it here.
Thank you [...]
Warren Buffett knows if you are going to take on great risk, be sure to negotiate a hard bargain and at least have the option to make millions. I just received my latest edition of The Economist where I learned this.
I haven’t seen anything on line about the $700 Billion Bailout of the banking industry. [...]
At times, I have lamented the reporting at our local newspaper, The Plain Dealer. Today, on the business pages is a Q & A about AIG where Theresa Dixon Murray gives more facts in a few column inches than any of the other news reports I have read so far. So today, I tip my hat [...]
Lately, there has been a lot of talk of what occupation better prepares one to be President of the United States or what set of experiences makes one the more likely choice for president or even the importance of how much experience one has at a certain occupation.

I grew up in rural [...]
Conversations enhance knowledge, provoke analysis and strenghten beliefs as well as cause discomfort when met with a challenge to tried and true axioms that don’t appear to fit any more. The conversations that I have had lately have underscored many of the things I have read, heard, and believe but many of these conversations have provided [...]
Recently, I have had the opportunity to participate in some extraordinary conversations with some very talented individuals. I am learning new ways to say things, new ways to think about issues and realities, and gaining new insights by comparing book reviews, listening to questions and answers at Meet The Bloggers interviews, and really enjoying every [...]
Again, from the New York TIMES, a commentary from Bob Herbert on the blindness a culture of panders for years to the wealthy–the investment bankers and venture capitalists and big businesses, those who provide the richest emoluments for our elected representatives–and then tries to mitigate the country’s losses by putting a band-aid on the problems [...]
