Southwest has pissed off its fair share of customers, bumping more of them from oversold flights than any other carrier last year. You don't have to look to far to find disgruntled flyers saying things such as, "I have always flown Southwest in the past, but doubt I ever will again. Saying you care about your customers is not the same as actually caring." Even the Department of Transportation has taken a swing, citing last week Southwest’s failure to reimburse bumped passengers promptly or

The healthcare debate happening now, let's face it, is the result of the decisions the Democratic and Republican parties have "evolved" (and I use that word advisedly) over the years ... RINO Whinos ... The bad behavior of the GOP is just the tip of the iceberg of the Republican sell-out back in the 1960s. That's when the religious conservatives, empowered by Barry Goldwater's loss in the presidential campaign of 1964, surged into power and moved the GOP from being about fiscal conservatism and

This morning I discovered after taking a 20-minute career assessment test on MyPath.com that, in addition to being a writer (a career I've built happily over more than a decade), I also possess the skills to be a teacher or a public speaker. It's certainly not as far-fetched as the results of a similar five-minute quiz I took on Careerpath.com, which indicated several, let's say, alternate jobs that also matched my skills and knowledge. They were ... wait for it ... coroner, economist, and

In the past few years, a number of Web sites have surfaced to make quality art available to the masses (at affordable prices). Gallery owner Jen Bekman's 20x200.com offers limited edition prints starting at $20. TinyShowcase.com does the same, and donates a portion of profits to a charity of the artist's choice. Both sites have developed a fan base, understandably--similar to a gallery, if you like a site's taste and aesthetic, you'll keep going back for more ... But what happens if you take

Distributed Denial of Service attacks on Web sites are an increasing pest on the Web, but the latest bunch this week had a bizarre, and disturbing twist: They were aimed at a single user's Web presence ... The blogger in question, using the name Cyxymi (technically СҮХҮМИ in Cyrillic) had accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Livejournal, YouTube, and Blogger. These are the services that came under a sustained, simultaneous DDoS attack yesterday, with Twitter going offline completely for a while,

I have this recurring dream, one that I have had ever since President Obama was elected. I am invited to the White House. As I wait for him, I am feeling both ecstatic and anxious. As he enters I stand at attention, salute him and say, "Mr. President, I am eagerly reporting for duty." Thankfully, I am in full uniform and have been spared the pressure of what to wear. In order to shake his hand, I must put down my heavy weapon ... Our time together is brief, but our exchange motivates me to press
