Joe Biden, Man of a Few Words

Joe Biden always surprises us with his quips and off the cuff comments. Today, however, took the cake when he whispered into the President’s ear, “This is a big f*#king deal.” The comment was picked up by the microphones on the podium.

The White House doesn’t seem too upset with him as Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs tweeted “And yes Mr. Vice President, you’re right….”

The Death of Health Care Reform – Keith Olbermann

Keith Olbermann let’s lose when he airs his ‘Special Comments’ segments. Last night he unleashed on the current version of the senate health care reform bill. To my delight, he even cursed.

He was critical of President Obama and rightfully so. Our president needs to step up and vocally express how he feels about this legislation. He needs to tell Congress just what kind of bill he wants to have come across his desk. Only when Obama helps move this important legislation through Washington, I can stand up and say, “that’s the president that I voted for!”

Bono Goes to Church at NAACP Awards

Bono from U2 has always been one of my favorites. I love his music and I love that fact that he is conscious, aware and active in world affairs. A friend showed this video to me and I’m not sure how this one got by me. I pride myself on being up on what’s going on. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this. Be sure to comment, let’s get the dialogue going on this one.

50 Cent Has Something Else to Say…

50 Cent Has Something Else to Say......

Which might be worth listening to!

“When you work for others you are at their mercy. They own your work; they own you. The ultimate power in life is to be completely self-reliant completely yourself.”

You can say what you want about Curtis Jackson. Like him or not, you’d have to admit that he marches to the beat of his own drum.

The above passage is from a HuffingtonPost blog. It’s an excerpt from The 50th Law by 50 Cent and Robert Greene. Fiddy’s book is described as a “bible” for success in life and work based on a single principle: fear nothing. The book is another one of Curtis’ ventures along with the recent release of this cologne, Power.

Three Must Have Nail Polish Colors for Fall

Chanel's Jade and Jade Rose

OPI's Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees

Fall is here! New seasons are a great time to change your wardrobe, hair style, and nail polish. This season I am obsessed with three new colors. My first pick is by Opi, ‘Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees’, it is a grey blue color that is great for a fall pedi. Then there’s Chanel, the beauty house that never seems to disappoint. Chanel has two new colors, Jade and Jade Rose that are stunning.

Drop, Cover, and Hold On

Are You Ready to ShakeOut?

With 37 million people living and working in California, a major earthquake could cause unprecedented devastation. What we do now, before a big earthquake, will determine what our lives will be like afterwards.  With earthquakes an inevitable part of California’s future, we must act quickly to ensure that disasters do not become catastrophes.

The Great Southern California ShakeOut in November 2008 involved nearly 5.5 million Californians through a broad-based outreach program, media partnerships, and public advocacy by hundreds of partners.  In early 2009 the decision was made to hold the drill statewide annually on the third Thursday of October.  With this in mind, the Earthquake Country Alliance has organized the 2009 Great California ShakeOut, a statewide earthquake drill at 10:15 AM on October 15.

Virgin America: Customer-Oriented or Disoriented Customer

I’ve been a fan of Virgin America airline since it’s inception in August of 2007. According to me, it was the best airline for cross country flights from NYC to Cali. The purple and pink lighting, leather seats, touch screen entertainment center, food at your fingertips, etc. Why was Virgin so great? Service! Richard Branson, the owner, has built his brand based on exceptional customer service. Once again, he delivered.

But this past week, I was on a flight from SFO to JFK and found myself in a tizzy. I had to use the bathroom, my dilemma was that the seat belt light was on. There wasn’t any turbulence, the flight attendants were filling out incident reports because a man had fainted in the walkway during the flight. So what was I to do? I hastily unbuckled my seat beat and hurried down the aisle. When I got to the bathroom the head flight attendant, Ting Ting, told me that I could not use the restroom. I told him that I had to use it. He said that if anything happened to me, I would be at fault. I was cool with that because I had to go.

When I came out of the washroom there were at least 5 people in line. Ting Ting began to berate me. Telling me it was my fault that all of these people were in line. He just wouldn’t stop with the comments. I asked him if he gave each of them, including a man holding an infant, a hard time. Then as I was walking back to my seat, Ting Ting gets on the PA system to sarcastically apologize about his tirade. I WAS OUTDONE. And to make matters worse, this representative of Virgin America, follows me to my seat and kneels down to continue to badger me. I asked him if he planned to go to everyone’s seat who was in line for the bathroom and do this. He flung his hand at me and walked off.
