My Comments for "Who Will Ombud The Ombudsman?"

Here's my response to a snarky piece nit-picking the "My Personal Credit Crisis" by Edmund Andrews. http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2009/05/who-will-ombud-the-ombudsman.html You can call my response, "Who's nit-picking the nit-pickers?" What's your point? That Andrews wrote an article about his foolishness, but he left out some of his foolishness? This is what writing is all about. It's about making choices. If he had included the details you want included, the story would not have changed a bit. And as far as covering the economy, how is this any different from a poor athlete working as a sportswriter? Writing about and doing are different. Finally, I don't think he included his wife on the mortgage application because they were not married at the time, a fact I picked up from reading the article.

Our Towns - Think a T-Shirt Can't Change Your Life? A Skeptic Thinks Again - NYTimes.com

Very funny article about the power of parody on the Amazon Community reviews. A guy wrote a funny review of a bad wolf t-shirt and 700 others joined in the fun. And the tshirt became a best seller.

This is the first time I've reloaded a Web page to watch an ad again.
I love when the two photos for the Hair Academy ad join in.

Sign that the economy is not doing so great

South Station in Boston is advertising South Station in Boston. Dude, I'm already here. What else do you want me to do? I guess Apple and Pepsi aren't lining up to hang banners.
