Commentary On “Connie’s Natural Cleaning Service’s”

They installed new window for me. My experience was excellent. They did a great job. They cleaned my windows and sliding french doors inside and out. I had my windows cleaned by Just Windows and they did an excellent job! Their crew was very efficient and quick. They got the hard water stains off the windows and they just sparkle. Their crew was professional and cleaned up after themselves which I appreciated. Home cleaning of a Read More

Thoughts On “Jonah Lehrer on Pain Control and Psychology | Head Case”

John- as the IOM study on emotional pain which came out last then a month clearly indiocates there are still professionals who believe thast pain is nothing more then a subjective sensation with no underlying pathophysiology-and as you can see here-there are those who advocate meditation regardless of the underlying condition. And i dont dispute meditations effectiveness to alleviate the sensation of pain-but i do dispute it as a standalone Read More

Analysis On “India Graduates Millions, but Too Few Are Fit to Hire”

Based on my experience with Indian based call center servicing Intuit customers, I totally concur with the assessment that the typical Indian call center employee can not communicate in American style English. The general managers of these service oriented business must be hamnmered by their off-shore customers about failures in effective english communication skillss. It has been almost 50 years since I had to work for Indian graduates Read More

Criticism On “For Private”

Isn't this special. Good. Perhaps the eventual conclusion of this will be that more and more of these private aircraft (and the wealth created to obtain them) will migrate out of the country. Some of the commenters here appear to enjoy the tag-team concepts of class envy and jealousy of wealth. TAX THEM! CONFISCATE THEIR WEALTH! They think they can actually own and fly private jets!? Those greedy associates companies. Those greedy people. Read More

Some Thoughts On “Senate Blocks Boehner’s Debt Bill”

While true that the US had a 91% top marginal rate in the 1950's, the total revenue amount of revenue versus the size of the economy was similar or actually smaller than what we had with the current tax rates pre-recession. There is a limit to how effective raises taxes are at actually raising revenue. Further, even if you assume no adverse economic impact (which of course is absurd), you could raise the top rate to 100% and generate Read More

Views On “Japanese Postal Reform Gets Lost in the Mail”

Of course yes. Do you have any problem with commercial offshore bank accounts (in which you have an account) investing in some companies without your consent? That is what banks do. If you disagree with their policy, you can withdraw your money from your account. The issue of Postal bank (and insurance) is not a general issue of banking regulation. It is THE bank of Japan with their 3 trillion dollars. Much of which is invested in Read More

Analysis On “Walter Olson: An Amen for Albany”

Not so fast. An example of a sociopathic behavior that fails the model does not ipso facto discredit the model; it merely illustrates an example of failing to meet the model. A model marriage would obviously exclude abusive behavior. Homosexual parents fail the model outright, as procreation is not possible. This does not exclude the infertile or those beyond child bearing age heterosexual parents, as the model behavior addresses child Read More

An Opinion On “American Airlines Parent AMR Files for Chapter 11 Protection”

Lawrence...don't get so excited yet..LOL..I know this because my sister is a FA for SW and I am intimately knowledgeable of their practices...They all adored the founder Herbert D. Kelleher. This company car tax is the ONLY company I know of that has good relations with a Union...I am very anti-Union..but of course THIS company is a Texas company and we do things differently here in Texas..I personally think they should get a common salary Read More

My View On “The Weekend Interview with Paul Johnson: Why America Will Stay on Top”

It seems for all his wisdom and experience, Mr Johnson has little which is particularly meaningful to say, or at least Mr Carney was unsuccessful in eliciting much of anything from him to include in this article. I'm not sure that referring to Gadhafi as a real baddie or the regime in Iran as horrible constitute 'frank judgements', since there's no one outside of the Middle east who is likely to disagree with him. I do think that Mr Johnson's Read More

Opinion On “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior”

I can agree with Ms. Chua that too many American families do not instill the value of learning. And too many families allow laziness to become a way of life for their children because it is easier for the parent. But, that is all Ms. CHua and I would agree upon. What is not discussed is how her approach lends itself to highly efficient robots. Great middle-managers at big car companies. Even professors teaching at elite colleges. But Read More
