Some thoughts on “change”

Published on June 25, 2008

Primary Elections: Why I’m Voting for Jason Chaffetz (or how 545 people are screwing things up)

I missed the v|100 lunch last week. I wonder if Jeremy blew my award to smithereens?

I am continually amazed at how much money you can make in a down market. When you see those pictures of people standing in the unemployment [...]
