I always thought Dick Fuld, the chairman and CEO of Lehman Brothers (my former employer), was an arrogant S.O.B. But I’m not really taking any pleasure in his being scapegoated for the current financial crisis. Lehman wouldn’t have failed if the government hadn’t decided to stick to a “tough love” approach for all of 24…
The Real Stuff
Madonna was wearing some awesome arm bands during her concerts this week. That reminded me I’d been meaning to share this real latex (not just latex-looking) arm band from Betty La Bamba with you. Keep an eye on Betty’s Etsy shop for other genuine latex items.

A Sad Case
The health-care situation in the U.S. is terrible. But I can’t stand people who act like health care in other nations is sheer perfection. I’ve been following the sad story of a U.K. reality-TV personality named Jade Goody who is only 27 and has advanced cervical cancer. She suffered from symptoms for THREE YEARS and…
