Guest Post by Meeno Peluce This [post on the Huffington Post] gives me, finally, a lot more hope. That make up artist for Palin who’s making so much money, she’s my make up artist. I texted her for a shoot a while back and she wrote back she couldn’t make it because she was in [...]

November 4th 2008, after what has been a seemingly endless political struggle of over two years, is fast approaching. We’ve little over five days – yes, five days – until what may very well be one of the most important, far-reaching elections of the majority of our lives. So, with only five days left, everything [...]
Pepsico Disloyal Strategy

Americans systematically swallow and digest 600 bottles of cola per capita annually, while the cola leaders brand American culture worldwide. Indra Nooyi proudly reveals to a NY Times reporter that her breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice. So… Perhaps her candor is intentional in order to bolster a [...]
David against Goliath or Levine vs. Wyeth
By lainie at 1 October, 2008, 1:47 pm
Beware pharmaceutical companies on your labeling! This warning could be taken as a wise advice to reflect upon since a Vermont Court ruled in favor of Ms Levine, an innocent victim that physically paid the damaging consequences of a medical disaster. Levine suffering from a migraine rushes to a clinic to be given her appropriate [...]

In the cast, leading roles were attributed to the energy industry representatives (the bad) and U.S government employees (the ugly) as they mastered a new and unexpected episode of the famous 80′s TV show Dallas on Capitol Hill. All the secret ingredients for success were gathered once again, sex, drug and oil! Who said that [...]

As an expensive domestic commodity, influenced primarily by the playing on import quotas and tariffs, sugar found in the high-fructose corn syrup, its first rival. “Generally recognized as Safe” by the FDA in its labeling, the use of the adverb generally sets a doubt in my mind on the beneficial properties of the nomenclatured HFCS-55, [...]
poor chisels for carving out peace

It’s that day of the year again. A day we couldn’t forget if we wanted to; the memories are unpleasant and trigger within every American a vague feeling most of us are very unfamiliar with: vulnerability. Usually the feeling of vulnerability is followed by the desire to lash out, to strike blindly, act rashly, especially [...]
green is beautiful

Once again (and surely not the last) Northern California has been inspired by Oregon innovated in eco-consciousness. Even if the subject -greening- has not been exhausted and tend to be unfortunately rebarbative to the ear of the consumer, Portland has decided to be green therefore beautiful from head to toe. Usually we utilize the environment [...]

At a fraternal leftist gathering-demonstration heading towards the democratic convention last week in Denver, Colorado, smart-like (only!), preadolescent preppy looking Fox reporter, in his attempt to melt and sympathize with the jovial crowd, got the surprise of his life! Reporters in their arrogance always think rightly or wrongly that the wearing of the press badge [...]

By lainie at 27 August, 2008, 5:39 pm
With America on the red alert (or should I say green?) for ways to increase energy efficiency and lower carbon footprints, let’s take a moment to sit back and remember from whence we’ve come. It was only recently that the good ol’ land of the free finally jumped on the global bandwagon to take climate [...]
