Wednesday, February 23, 2011. No Sympathy for Diplomats and Oil Workers Trapped in Tripoli. Go ahead and call me insensitive. I’m finding it difficult to muster much sympathy for the droves of frantic foreigners fleeing Libya. Mubarak isn’t exactly Ray Romano, but let's face it, everyone knew Moammar Ghadafi was a homicidal maniac who could come unhinged at any moment. So what were all those Westerners doing there? Of course, there are Westerners of Libyan decent, aid workers and others who I don’t inclu...

Sunday, November 26, 2006. Ti(red) Excuse for Corporate Philanthropy. How much would it cost Apple to hire celebrities of the caliber of Oprah Winfrey and Bono to endorse its products in a commercial? I don’t doubt that Bono really cares about getting antiretroviral medicine to people who need it. But I have little hope that the newly red companies are motivated by altruism. But then, that’s stated clearly in red and white in the Product Red Manifesto. An unscientific survey proves it is a very profitabl...

Thursday, October 26, 2006. But what about your court, and all this pageantry? Because I have friends in high places (the Writers’ Guild of America), I managed to snag an invitation to a private screening of Sofia Coppola’s new movie Marie Antoinette. The Lost in Translation director’s punk-rock take on the life of France’s last queen features Kirsten Dunst in the title role and miles of sumptuous fabric. It is visually decadent but otherwise unremarkable. The movie ends as the King and Queen are being t...

Friday, August 29, 2008. The Audacity of Dreaming. CJ is not one to get all verklempt over political rhetoric. So, I’m more than a little grateful that, after so many weeks of pundits harping on the fact that Barack Obama would be accepting the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States on the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior’s I have a Dream speech, the candidate himself chose not to dwell on the obvious significance. Mr Obama’s words bring to mind another great drea...

Tuesday, February 19, 2008. A King Without a Throne. One has to wonder what goes on in the psyche of someone like Bill Clinton when he’s standing nose-to-nose with a man in Ohio, speaking intently and wagging his finger within millimeters of the man’s face. Ohio voter Robert Holeman contends Mr. Clinton actually made physical contact during the confrontation. I think he even hit me in the face with his hand, he said. He did give me a little pop. And what did Mr. Holeman do to deserve this treatment?

Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Ferraro is Right - and 'Ridiculous'. Ms Ferraro told a California newspaper last week, If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept. In fact, the Obama campaign did not call Ms. Ferraro’s remarks racist. Mr. Obama did use an "r" word to describe them, but that word was "ridiculous.". Let’s face it; Ms. ...
