Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:20:09 PDT
BIG hat tip to both Investors Business Daily and Peggy Lee for asking the obvious. It’s about time the old song had a subject worthy of its query… Pelosi’s energy policy failure! Posted by Tina “Democrats Fumble Ball On Energy” - Investors Business Daily Surely the majority leader in the world's most important deliberative body should be able to come up with something better than what Pelosi and the Democrats have proposed. ** In a letter just this week to House Republican leader John Boehne

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:28:48 PDT
Clouds of food shortages have begun looming large even on the skies of the land of plenty. Yes, we are talking about the United States of America, where the country’s top two bulk retailers, namely, Costco and Wal-Mart, in the face of surging demand, have begun imposing restrictions on bulk sales of basic food articles like rice and flour.

Good news for Hong Kong residents; we finally have a local version of Time Out magazine. Editor Paul Kay opens up the first edition with an ambitious and truculent editorial, “Some people, I have found, will tell you things about Hong Kong that aren’t true. I’ve heard it said, for example, that there’s no live music scene here. Others claim our city is no place for artists to blossom, and that business and excess are the only crafts at which we excel. I’ve even been told that Hong Kong is a cu

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:56:45 PDT
Let’s focus on the business aspect, especially if you’re nursing your own, private endeavor. Your business is a dynamic and living thing. Allowing it to grow and taking care of it can be one aspect of getting your hands on that mythic Big Payoff we’ve been talking about.

Lou Doillon's Sartorial Savvy
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 23:30:04 PDT
It's only natural that the daughter of one of the fashion world’s most iconic women would be an icon in her own right. The irony lies in the fact that Lou Doillon’s mother, Jane Birkin, banned fashion magazines from their home when Lou was a wee lass. With style undeniably flowing through her bloodline, she managed to find her niche by drawing inspiration from historical and literary figures. For Fall 2008, the unconventionally beautiful French actress/model/designer chose an unlikely mu
