Have a business that you would like to relocate from say California or New York? For the 4th year in a row Texas is ranked #1 for business growth by CEOs.
While Texas ranked first, California ranked dead last. Amazing. It is like two different countries. And New York ranked next to last.
I have lived [...]

Marty Nemko, who works as a career counseling in Oakland, CA, writes of today’s workplace: “The rule seems to be: discriminate–as long as the ones being discriminated against are white males.”
This is so true. Corporate America has in place a vast system of affirmative action that is targeted at lifting women and minorities at the [...]

Mickey Kaus asks: “Isn’t the border fence shovel-ready?“
Great question. In fact, shouldn’t this be at the top of the list for the federal spending extravaganza that is about to begin?

I just watched Obama’s full inauguration speech. I thought he did a magnificent job. I watched him on TV tonight some too, like at the opening of the Commander-in-Chief Ball when he talked with some US troops in Afghanistan via a video feed. Obama is a pretty cool guy.

Technology will be bringing us a brave new world regarding reproduction, as Randall Parker (Futurepundit) predicts:
I predict a big shift toward in vitro fertilization (IVF) as we learn more about what all the genetic variations mean. Once genetic testing of embryos can provide enormous details about the future of potential offspring many prospective parents will [...]

Nut jobs or not? You decide (via Confederate Yankee).

McCain has picked Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, as his VP running mate. Democrats, and some Republicans too, are criticizing this pick saying she has insufficient experience. To this Ed Morrissey writes:
Why would he put a small-town mayor a heartbeat away from the presidency?
This is a real laugher. By the same logic, why [...]

100 college presidents came out last week in support of lowering the drinking age to 18. I agree with them. If you are old enough to vote and go to war and fight and perhaps die for your country - then you should be able to drink legally.
Imagine that you just fought in Iraq for [...]
