I’ve heard a lot about the so-called “rubber rooms,” places operated by the New York City Public Schools to house teachers — at full pay, mind you — who are alleged to have violated school rules, students and/or the law in general. After watching the trailer for “The Rubber Room” movie (below), I feel as [...]

Pilots Do Deserve More Credit for Safety Record
January 16th, 2009 · No Comments
The headline that appeared above Kevin J. Cameron’s “Reader’s Opinion” piece in USA TODAY expressed his opinion well: Pilots Deserve More Credit for Safety Record. One day after yesterday’s “Miracle on the Hudson” river landing of US Airways Flight 1549 in New York City, few would argue with his logic. Cameron, an airline pilot from [...]

December 10th, 2008 · No Comments
In Bristol, Charlotte, Daytona Beach and other places where NASCAR® is king, it makes sense for people to go around in circles — or, more accurately, ovals — en route to achieving success. That kind of “circular logic,” however, isn’t likely to produce success in Detroit. Facing declining ad revenue and lower attendance, NASCAR® executives [...]
