I’d just like to say, the TSA is doing a bang-up job. Their mission is to: The Transportation Security Administration protects the Nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. It has been over 2 years since I got on a commercial jet. They didn’t have the backscatter nudie picture booths last time I [...]
I was powerless to stop a total stranger from running her hands over the most private parts of my body as a condition of normal, ordinary business travel. via Advice Goddess Blog.

Was Jon Corzine a rapacious self-seeker at Goldman Sachs, then a public-spirited man when he was in the Senate and in New Jersey’s governorship, only to revert to form when he went to MF Global? If you doubt that this is true, and suspect that Jon Corzine was the same guy all along, why would [...]
