You know,



while while I hate it when CEOs and business leaders lie to their shareholders, the public, etc., about anything, something like this drives me crazy because it's only done, by a small shareholder, to further themselves financially and further some sort of agenda.

Yahoo confirms fabricated info on new CEO’s resume

They hired him to reverse their 'financial lethargy'. In internet terms that doesn't mean that they're not making money. It means they're not making record profits every quarter.

This is just a small blip in the internet world...

Truth is MIA


When have people expected honesty in politics anyway? It has been MIA for many years...

A Post-Modern World of Untruth, Anger, and Gossip

Don't be too upset by the Obama-bashing (they take a shot at Bush, too, at least). It is a conservative Catholic website, and all conservative websites of any Christian tradition will naturally be bashing a Democratic President. It is all about truth, isn't it?

Conceptual art


Has Conceptual Art Jumped the Shark Tank?

Is this what makes the limited edition prints of various wildlife artists 'art', do you think? It was their concept, but not their work. At least the reproductions aren't. The original art still is, in their case. In the case of Mr. Hirst and others, well...

Do you have any idea

what a difficult thing this would really be in real life? I mean, even well-intentioned 'little white lies'?

Radical Honesty
