Supreme Racism
Pat Buchanan went off the deep end last night. No, I mean way off. On MSNBC’s Hardball, the Nixon-trained geezer oozed racism out of his pores as he demanded to see Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s SAT & LSAT scores ( what’s with conservatives and ancient test scores? Ann Coulter tried to pull the same thing with me during a radio interview).

In Seattle, sometimes February acts like Spring, and this year especially, after the record-breaking snow storms, I noticed the crocuses and primroses with their colorful faces, a brilliant, quick flash at the garden’s edge. There are tight buds, too, if you look closely at the grayed branches

How to Let Them Go: Advice from Atticus
Okay, I have a confession to make-I was terminated. Not fired or let go or not renewed. Not RIFed or pink-slipped. Terminated. In the midst of an organizational restructure, I got tossed out with the rest of the superfluous positions, the additional managerial poundage put on in leaner times. This had

Ch-Ch-Change
In all our day-today business experiences, there is nothing that rivals that of change. We attempt to navigate its tumultuous waters, we try to manage its fickle nature, and we sometimes even conquer its battle strategy. But most often we avoid it like the plague. Oddly enough, we rarely talk about change
Roy Winston: Yippy a Cash, R&R until the Main Event
The last couple of days have gone pretty well for me. I began day two of the 3k WSOP triple chance event with just under 15k in chips, with the average being 55k. There were 149 of the starting 854 players remaining with the money coming at 81. I had my good friend Joe McGowan directly to my left,
Roy Winston: Hanging on at the WSOP: Gov. Sanford-what a loser
Yesterday I played the No Limit Holdem triple chance event. Here you start with 3k in chips and can take an additional 3k in chips twice more at any time in the first three levels. The idea behind it is to create more action like in a re-buy event, but it falls miserably short of creating it. It
