Another re-run?
by: Heather Meek
Floating in the news is one interesting tidbit… "Obama Is Said to Consider Preventive Detention Plan". Read the plan and you'll discover that it provides for the establishment of camps. The sole purpose of the camps would be to incarcerate terrorist suspects that cannot be tried legally.

How to get great customer service
by: Paul Schmutzler
It has happened to everyone. You bought a product that ended up having some horrible problem, and trying to get it serviced or replaced was like pulling teeth from an alligator you just maced. We could spend all day sharing our own horror stories and bashing companies that may not really be all that bad, but that won't get results. What you need to do is get some green stuff from that evil corporate behemoth that wronged you. I have my own awful story to tell about a certain baby superstore that shall remain unnamed, although I will tell you that it rhymes with Rabies Are Bus. Instead of boring you with my tale of woe, I'm going to give you a template so that you can take matters into your own hands and get results. Kind of like the Lord's prayer, this shouldn't be used verbatim. Use it as a pattern for creating your own customized memo.

Joy in My Morning

When darkness falls, Temptations call
And all around me seems undone
You hear my pleas, Supply my needs
And tell me of your wondrous love

Your Fired!
by: Heather Haskins

Our fearless leader Barack Hussein Obama usurped yet another power when he told GM CEO, Richard Wagoner, to quit or elsei. In the free country formerly known as the United States of America, the president had no more authority to fire the CEO of a private corporation than the CEO had the authority to kick a president out of office for something like not producing a valid U.S. birth certificate. While a CEO still lacks any authority to force a president to prove his U.S. citizenship, apparently now a president can override the decisions of a private corporation's stockholders by unilaterally reorganizing the company's management. The president now acts as a dumbed down version of Donald Trump on the Apprentice, although Donald understands free market economics much more clearly than a community organizer who takes advice from a circle of friends which includes radical communists like Bill Ayersiiii.

It's the economy stupid!
by: Paul Schmutzler

This is just what you’ve been looking for: another article about the slumping economy. Don’t worry! I’m not going to preach at you about why to not invest in the stock market or hide all of your savings under your mattress. I’m simply going to give you some practical help from my personal experience on how you too can shave some dollars off of your grocery expenses while at the same time burning fat and building muscle.

Hearing 101
by: Heather Meek

When considering the words 'Hearing Loss', what do you think of? People that use their hands to talk with others or people that are difficult to communicate with? What do you do when you encounter a person with a hearing loss? Do you make an escape as quickly as possible or do you look past the 'disability' and get to know the person? Do you even know whether the person has a hearing loss? After all, hearing loss is considered to be a hidden disability.
