Because of the high interest in my recent post on Dawood Ibrahim and requests for more information, I am adding to that the little more that I know and have learned in recent days.

There’s a saying that “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,” but that seems to be the best description for the task set before the PR teams at Ford, GM, and Chrysler.

Literary critic Morris Dickstein writes about why he thinks literature still matters in "The Undying Animal: Why Literature still Matters."He argues (and I agree) that literature still has value because it takes as its primary subject matter the often conflicting ideas and emotions that are at the core of what it is to be human. Either by the subtle or the overt, by the implied or by the obvious,

by: MICHAEL MOLLOY It is a very common fact that looks matters in today's world. Often we see that to improve their looks or go for a complete makeover is compelling the youngsters to go to any extent.

I believe we should all do work that matters. Today, we all put in too many hours, and accumulate too much stress, to work at something that isn't personally engaging and rewarding.Too many people stay in unsatisfying and unfulfilling jobs, simply because it provides the material definition of success. All too often, our sense of who we are is defined by the work we do.   More and more people

I'm currently a bit fixated with Sarah Palin. Not in any morally dubious way. Rather that she is seen as espousing "values".

She is "pro-gun", which means she is against gun co

So he's fired his manager Benny Medina and lured his mom, Jonnetta Patton, away from her gig as a "full-time grandmother" and back to the role of h
