How important is presentation? I don’t mean for a job interview, or for improving quarterly sales, or whatnot. I mean on a day-to-day basis, is it important for your stuff to look good? Typically I think it doesn’t, but sometimes it does (and for odd reasons).
Whether you agree or disagree with MoveOn‘s political motivations, you shouldn’t miss the golden opportunity to give them a piece of your mind. They’ve posted three-question, open-ended (free text) survey to the web and are soliciting opinions.
- Share with us what you personally are thinking today. What is going through your head?
- What do you think Moveon.org should do next — either right away or between now and Election Day?
- Have you thought about what you personally want to do to help before Election Day? Do you have anything in particular in mind?
Is there anything MoveOn as an organization can do to help you do that?
I’m sure they’re expecting an echo chamber of typical liberal talking points. Let’s give them something better, though. Let’s tell them all about Ron Paul’s message of returning to the libertarian and sound economic principles our constitutional republic was found on! C’mon, r3volutionaries, let’s tell MoveOn what we’re thinking!
P.S. If you’re not a Ron Paul supporter, that’s fine. Answer the survey anyway, especially if you’re not part of their assumed demographic. 🙂
About Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein says:
“Each one of them represents a different constituency, and the constituencies are knocking heads at the present time. . . . There are women all over the country, and particularly in my state of California, who feel that she hasn’t been treated fairly. . . . They want her to stand tall.”
Um, huh? Maybe I missed something, but how does “[being] treated fairly” have anything at all to do with how good a candidate you are? (And what exactly does “stand tall” mean in this context?”) Leaving aside the allegations implicit in Feinstein’s statement that there has been unfair treatment and that it is because Clinton is a woman—the truth of either is irrelevant on this particular point—being treated unfairly by others, regardless of the reason, says nothing of one’s own qualities and characteristics as they pertain to the job of being President of the United States.
Just when I thought Ben Bernanke couldn’t be more of a putz…
“The dollar surged on Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned the weak U.S. currency posed a risk to inflation, adding to views the central bank could raise interest rates later this year.”
Say what?! I’m not economics expert, but last I checked the Fed’s willy-nilly printing money out of thin air contributed to the weak dollar, which in turn contributed to inflation – not the other way around. And people wonder why I don’t trust the Fed…
