Developing That Curriculum Vitae

After writing most of this, I came to believe that there will be many readers that won't be interested in the "longer version".  Here is the short version:
  • Hillary Clinton is a misogynist.
  • Her achievements as a legislator are vanishingly small.
  • Her stint as Secretary of State was unproductive.
  • She either believes herself to be above the law or she is incompetent when it comes to obeying the law.
  • Her financial history reeks of corruption.
Here is another "short version".  Those that supported her bid for the Presidency are good and decent people.  They are not "otherwise good and decent people"; just good and decent people with whom I disagree.  We have a fundamental disagreement about what constitutes good and legitimate government within the US.
Progressives are not stupid and evil. Conservatives are not racists and misogynists.
The sooner we stop using disagreement as an excuse for maltreatment of others, the sooner we might find some common ground upon which we can all move forward.  Treat one another well.

If you must.....the longer version follows.

The Feeding Frenzy

Periodically, some marketeer will do something so confoundedly stupid that it simply must be passed on.  Telling a customer to put on his "big boy pants" qualifies.

Meet Paul Christoforo.

Well the internet breaks every once in a while.  Those links are dead.

But here are a couple about the marketing faux pas that occurred.  Also, here is a link to the follow on from the company that made the game controller being marketed.  They didn't do anything wrong, but it's a nice bit of closure for their customers nonetheless.
