Another Bad Name for California ; Carly Fiorina

We're so lucky in California to have two wealthy women running for political office in our upcoming primary. Who says we haven't come a long way, baby? But while I'm a big fan of eBay, the candidate I want to focus on is Carly Fiorina, who wants to be our next female senator and promises to bring jobs, jobs, jobs to our beleaguered state. As opposed to that liberal do-nothing Barbara Boxer. Let's review her credentials. Fiorina is perhaps best known for running Hewlett-Packard into the ground when she was CEO, a feat she achieved...

Will Pacquiao settle for Marquez?

When people talk about Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38KO’s), the first things that come up are his unprecedented achievements and his ferocious fighting style. Astute observers point out the fact that he started professionally at 106 lbs and rampaged his way up to welterweight, plundering titles in seven weight divisions along the way.  Others recite a litany of hall of famers and icons who have fallen at the hands of the Filipino great.
