The Baby Boom Collapses

Anti-Love
July 15, 2010 - Commentary on the News
Three years ago, I was cast as part of the ensemble in the musical, Parade. It was a dramatical show about a Jewish man, Leo Frank, who was falsely accused of murdering one of his 13-year old factory workers, Mary Phagan. How someone was inspired to make a musical of such a traumatic event, I will never know. However, I had worked with the director of the show in the musical Grease before-hand, so I thought I would enjoy being in another musical. Boy was I mistaken!

Finance
July 12, 2010 - Commentary on the News

We need 225,000 every month for 3 years to re-employ the 8 million workers who lost their jobs. Additionally, we need another 125,000 a month just to keep up with population growth. Instead we’re still losing.
