Some things just make you shake your head and today’s USA Today brought along another one of them. It’s almost as if the aftermath of the BP spill never happened or, at best, as if some folks are either not paying attention or just not getting what they’re seeing and hearing.

Why You Do These Things?
A very long time ago, I had a teacher who taught a class I didn’t find particularly challenging.

One guys tees off on the odd numbered holes; the other on the evens). Got it? So what’s the business thinking? Continue reading
