When Bill Clinton famously justified his perjury by arguing the meaning of the word “is”, it took semantic nonsense to a whole new level. His whole statement, however, was more than the one sentence, and really captures the bizarre parlor games politicians and lawyers will try to play with words to avoid responsibility.
“It depends
It has been interesting to watch the reaction to AT&T’s price “increases” today – interesting in that most of the chatter on AT&T’s rate increase focuses solely on prices going up. There really is a bigger story there:
First, the increases:
AT&T Data Plus 300MB: $20 for 300MB

For Christmas, Santa brought my son a video game called Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. The game, aimed at 8-12 year olds, is amusing to play and T2 and I have spent a fair amount of time blasting our way through the Skylander universe. What’s fascinating about the game, however, is the mechanics behind it. The way
So President Obama is in Denver today talking about how to ease student loan debt. In yet another example of the politics of big government, he’s expected to reduce the amount students would have to pay per year (implementing a cap at 10% of salary) and push for forgiveness of debt at 20 years

As I was driving home this evening I couldn’t help but notice the staggering number of little slips of paper on my dash. Our office is in a part of town with a lot of parking meters. Most of the old school meters have been replaced with the single kiosk that accepts credit cards.

A new piece in Fast Company today highlights the Administration’s renewed push for high speed rail.
For those keeping score of wasteful, inefficient government ideas that refuse to die, back in April of 2009, Team Obama announced an $8 billion push for high speed rail. I noted at the time the almost complete inability
I’m not sure who is doing Taco Bell’s advertising, but speaking as someone who does communications for a living, I think they should be fired immediately.
Apparently it wasn’t enough to bash the transgendered. That ad was pulled and they issued a formal apology. Now the fast food giant’s advertising brain trust has set their
