Election fraud and the future of America

One of my big fears about yesterday’s election was that fraud would play a big part in the results. I know that fraud was at work, but I don’t know how much of an impact it had. It is incomprehensible to me that so many things in this world require picture identification – – getting [...]

Debunking Sarah Palin rumors and lies

Someone has put together a list of the lies and rumors being promoted by the left about soon-to-be Vice President Sarah Palin. It’s quite remarkable when you read the whole list… All these rumors in one place really show how horrible and hateful the left has been in smearing her and her family to no [...]

The $700 billion bailout should fail on its own merits

..not be passed through because of other legislation that the taxpayers deserve to have regardless of whether it’s attached to to bailout. This $700 billion (probably more like $1 trillion or $2 trillion) bailout that was passed by the Senate last night is really no better than what the House voted against just a couple [...]

United First Financial’s new math (It’s still not worth $3,500.)

Guest post by Craig Hansen The fine folks at United First Financial (UFF) have come out with a new version of their Money Merge Account (MMA). It’s version 4, and it’s marketed as something that uses… factorial math! And promoters are saying the software does over 3 million calculations each time you use it to [...]

A teacher’s perspective on the problems in Milwaukee Public Schools

This was posted as a comment on one of my articles on the budget problems at Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). Although I believe most of what this person says, I do know from looking at the database myself that there are plenty of teachers making $80k to $100k a year when you add the excessive [...]

Shop To Earn lawyer ups the ante with financial blogger

ShopToEarn is a multi-level marketing company recruiting new members who can receive a small percentage of cash back on their internet purchases. If they recruit enough new people into the scheme, who pay the $450 fee and do some shopping of their own, they can make a little more money. I have a dim view [...]

More on why ShopToEarn sucks (and so do MyPowerMall and TeamNational)

Online shopping multi-level marketing companies (MLMs) aren’t new. My Power Mall (MPM) has been around for a while, Team National has been in the mix too, and now Shop to Earn has popped up and is being aggressively marketed by its members. My bottom line on all of these companies: Don’t waste your time or [...]

Huffington Post writes about Tim Sykes and his new website

The Huffington Post ran a really nice story about the one and only Timothy Sykes today. Tim just rolled out a new website, which is kind of a portal for everything related to stock trading. Of course he peddles his book and DVD set there, but he also details his stock trades and teaches others [...]

Overstock “executive” playing on the internet again

I put the word executive in quotes because I don’t think anyone in their right mind really considers Judd Bagley an executive at Overstock.com (NASDQ: OSTK). He is the smearmeister for Patrick Byrne. They like to call him an investigative reporter, but his investigation skills lack one critical element: accuracy. This weekend, Judd, “Director of [...]

Reality TV has officially gone too far

My friends and family know that I am a true reality television addict. I have loved reality TV from day one, when it was just “The Real World” on MTV. Then came “Survivor,” my favorite show of all time. And since then there have been many reality shows, both good and bad, for people with [...]
