Do Not Blame The Jews, Blame Yourself
2009-09-23 22:39:00 Farouk Hosni is back and he is whining like a lady on the conspiracies made by the Jews of the world against him as Egyptian, Arab,Muslim !! It was clear by the end of the competition that there was a conspiracy against me There are a group of the world's Jews who had a major influence in the elections who were a serious threat to Egypt taking this position !! Strangely from two weeks ago he was trying to show the world that he is the best friend the Jews have ever got , it is ironic , is not it !!?? Now Farouk Hosni is turned in to a national hero who lost because of the west and the Jewish lobby , I could not believe myself to find a number of the so-called nationalist writers and intellectuals standing behind him against this plot even the Muslim brotherhood !!?? I understand their position from Zionism but I can?t understand their position from Hosni who has been always accused to be pro-Israeli and Pro-western not to mention his long history in the Mubarak r...
Do Not Blame It On The Pigs
2009-09-22 10:30:00 Michael Slackman has decided that the latest garbage problem in Egypt is the result of Mubarak?s decision to kill all the pigs despite the direct reason ?which he mentioned in his report in a fast reference if I may say" is the disagreement between the foreign garbage companies and the governorates. Just put things straight here I would to mention some points : The main reason of this problem is the disagreement between the foreign garbage companies with the governorates. Another main reason to be honest is how our government is dealing with the crisis, if the government wants really to solve this problem ,it could do ; after all when Gamal Mubarak visited Agouza, the streets had been cleaned for him and I saw it by my own eyes !! Sometimes this regime like previous regimes creates crisis for its own people to make them busy from things that really matters. Not all the pigs were killed , this is a fact Mr.Slackman forgot to mention , for some reason suddenly the decision was froz...

China Food Safety. Don't Blame Legal.
2009-08-22 10:37:00 Thought provoking post over at TwoFish's Blog, entitled, "Best and the worst – The Sanlu Settlement." The thesis is that China's handling of payments to those injured by the Sanlu dairy food poisonings was handled better than would have been the case had Sanlu been in the United States and been subject to a class action suit. TwoFish makes some valid points, which points are certainly more sophisticated than some commentators who fly over to China for a week and come back proclaiming that if only China allowed tort claims (it does) just like in the United States, all (or at least nearly all) food safety problems would be solved there. TwoFish says China handled Sanlu "quite well" and he challenges those who are "critical" to "explain what the Chinese government could have done better:" As I said above, as far as the actual settlements and consequences, I do think that the Chinese government handled things quite well, and I’d like for people that are critical of the leg...

Is The Rediff Redesign To Blame For Top Exec Exits At Rediff?
2009-08-07 10:41:00 Rediff.com is in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. There has been a mass exodus of top execs in the company in the last few days and quite a few if you see the last year. Contentsutra reports on two old rediff execs who quit the company yesterday. Here are the people who have left rediff recently (Between 2008-09): Joy Basu -CFO Jasmeet Singh – VP Uday Sodhi – Senior VP Manish Agarwal – VP Marketing Zaaki Ansari – VP Product Development Gaurav Bhaskar – Head Corporate Communications Preeti Desai – VP Strategic Affairs Debdutta Saha – VP Finance Now we had broken the story of the rediff redesign and also taken Chairman Ajit Balakrishnan’s take on the same via an interview. Our sources now update us that the recent exit of Zaki Ansari can be attributed to the difference of opinion on the new minimalistic redesign of Rediff. It seems that the redesign was one of the core reason for so many recent exits at Rediff. The feedbac...

2009-08-03 19:29:00 Niranjan Shah Tribune Photo/Chris Walker Jamie Foxx has an excuse. He chooses to deflect responsibi-lity by blaming alcohol. But what can U. of I. officials blame it on? Greed and connections! See Chicago Tribune story. Niranjan Shah, a powerfully connected business man from Oak Brook, hooked his employees, family, and friends up with big clout provileges. But is this a bad thing? I know U. of . I. is a public school that takes tax dollars willingly, but networking is the way of the world and the less-connected need to get off their duffs and go to a few parties to network. The United States is not an egalitarian system basing everything on merit. So we shouldn't expect schools to...

(Conversely the Sox have won only two games this year trailing in the 7th inning or later - both against Kansas City.)I don't often disagree with Steve Stone who I think is one of the best color analyst in the game but yesterday I heard him say "the bullpen has been doing the job all year..."Really?Granted the ERA's of the big four (Bobby Jenks, Matt Thornton, Scott Linebrink and Octavio Dotel) are pretty good but in addition to the four blown...

I blame the schools for this. And maybe the Rotary Club. (Commutation 13)
2009-06-11 15:41:00 Today, just before I got to the parking garage, I got behind a car that had this bumper sticker:Evolution is a theory. Kind of like gravity.That's a dumb bumper sticker. I believe in evolution; I'm not some flat-earther who's offended by the idea that there were fish that became humans. But that bumper sticker shows why "scientists" have made a huge error in deciding to just make things up: people no longer understand science.In real science -- sans quotation marks, a theory is something that has not yet been proven. It's a hypothesis-- an idea you have that you hope to prove through experimentation.Evolution is a theory because it hasn't been proven. While Darwin's finches are a compelling case for evolution, they are a compelling circumstantial case -- meaning more than one inference is available from the facts.That's what "circumstantial" evidence is -- you can draw more than one conclusion from it. If you hear a gun shot and run into the room and I'm standing ther...

Publishers Are to Blame for Driving the Potential of Online Advertising Dow
2009-05-23 18:53:00 Running a digital agency one of the toughest ask is to get clients to put a premium on their online advertising campaigns. Take any IAMAI campaign we might have covered, almost all the while publishers and agencies would be found raving about the untapped prospects of online advertising. And this obviously to let the guys with the cash strings know of its potential. However, regardless of how well clients begin to understand this, digital advertising won’t go anywhere without publishers pulling up their socks in terms of quality. I believe a lot of publishers sometimes by using dubious methods, and most often by practicing advertising methods purely driven by greed are killing the whole niche. If we sit to debate or have a comprehensive talk the scope of this post might fall short, so I will try to keep it brief yet relevant. I don’t want this to sound like a pissed off post at the number of advertising I am pounded with on most of India’s popular websites. However...

Who is to Blame for the Tent People?
2009-05-23 02:45:00 Karen Hersh, an out of work truck driver, arranges canned food in a shopping cart at a homeless tent city March 4, 2009 in Sacramento, California. The tent city is seeing an increase in population as the economy worsens and more people are becoming unemployed and having their homes slip into foreclosure. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) By Garda GhistaMay 19, 2009Hyderabad, India--In America, more and more people are subjected to the humiliation of losing their job, and then when they cannot pay their mortgage they get a fat wad of papers delivered to their door by the local sheriff telling them in brief to pay up or vacate. And then they have to leave or be thrown out of their own home. And then when no job is forthcoming they cannot even downsize to an apartment. They are forced to go to the lowest level of subsistence. They buy a tent and pitch it near some water, maybe a river or a tap somewhere.I was becoming more and more appalled living in America in 2008 and up to May...

2009-03-01 20:58:00 We stand a very good chance of actually finishing the three-year project The Boy and I started when we moved into our house. The three-year project -- now in Year 6 -- was to create a mowing-free, yardwork-minimizing yard by replacing as much "lawn" as possible with perennial flowers and trees and shrubs and the like.Having torn down the old shed last year and made a great deal of headway on laying a decorative path this year, the three-year project looks as though a few more trips to the discount section of the local department store's garden center may do the trick.And while I joke about how the primary motivation is to avoid yardwork, there's also a method to my madness -- because through the yard and these efforts, I'm teaching the kids something I already know: the benefits of organic gardening.Organic gardening -- green gardening-- is important because it's an easy and fun way to help people have a positive impact on the environment right in their own backyard... literal...

Carter Tries to Redirect the Blame
2009-01-08 19:32:00 Unless those two countries are giving these things away, Hamas has been buying them. So instead of spending money for food and humanitarian supplies, apparently Hamas opted for weaponry and aggression. Somehow, however, it is Israel’s fault that the humanitarian flow of goods into Gaza is down to a trickle, in the face of an average of 361 rocket and mortar attacks a month of imported weaponry. Carter is correct that this war could have been avoided, but not for the reasons he’d have you believe. All Hamas has to do is disavow aggression, violence and its stated mission of the destruction of Israel. All it has to do is spend its money on food and medicine instead of rockets and mortars. The reason this war wasn’t avoidable is Hamas has an intransigent position that refuses all efforts at a peace accord with Israel. Until they change that position and enter into good faith peace negotiations then, at least as I see it, the onus of the suffering of the Palestinians i...

2008-11-20 19:19:00 UPDATING 11-24-2008 see at bottomObama's friends among "liberal" politicians, directors at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the Clinton Administration, bear the lion's share of guilt for the subprime mortgage collapse that led to the general worldwide economic collapse. Nevertheless, let's not exonerate Bush Jr and Hank Paulson, his Treasury secretary, for their neglect of problems that were evident two years ago. But Obama consulted with Franklin Raines and got big contributions from Raines' Fannie Mae, while Rahm ["Kapo"] Emanuel was a director at one of the two Federal-govt sponsored lenders and dealers in subprime mortgages, not to mention Jim Johnson, formerly of Lehman Bros who was asked by Obama to sit on his vice-presidential candidate selection committee, along with Caroline Kennedy of the super-rich Kennedy family.John Steele Gordon explains how the crisis developed, going back to the Franklin Roosevelt administration of the 1930s, with a historical parallel from the 19...

Please Don't Blame The Horse
2008-10-09 11:30:00 Something that weighs heavy on my mind is when riders fail to see the opportunity to learn that their horse is giving them. I don't like to see a rider frustrated with a horse that will not perform well because of rider error. I like to think of myself as the horse's advocate. Of course horses make mistakes, but they really only make mistakes because they are mirroring their rider...If you can't get your horse to turn, lope, balance or whatever try and find a new way to communicate with the horse what you want. Be a problem solver and find a way to remedy the situation.There are times when horses are misbehaving, but then again if they are misbehaving it is because of their own ignorance and lack of training. Why is the horse's training lacking? Because a human has not trained him thoroughly.Horses cannot speak with words so we must listen to their actions. Be the leader, but a good leader always listens to the needs of others. I'm not saying let the horse grab a b...

They’re trying to duck the blame…. don’t let them
2008-09-18 21:41:00 Bruce: As Ed Morrissey points out, 2005 would be the year John McCain made this speech: Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were “illusions deliberately and systematically created” by the company’s senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae’s former chief executive officer, OFHEO’s report shows that over half of Mr. Raines’ compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets. The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie ...

Who is to blame for this meltdown?
2008-09-17 14:59:00 Investors Business Daily: Obama in a statement yesterday blamed the shocking new round of subprime-related bankruptcies on the free-market system, and specifically the “trickle-down” economics of the Bush administration, which he tried to gig opponent John McCain for wanting to extend. But it was the Clinton administration, obsessed with multiculturalism, that dictated where mortgage lenders could lend, and originally helped create the market for the high-risk subprime loans now infecting like a retrovirus the balance sheets of many of Wall Street’s most revered institutions. Tough new regulations forced lenders into high-risk areas where they had no choice but to lower lending standards to make the loans that sound business practices had previously guarded against making. It was either that or face stiff government penalties. The untold story in this whole national crisis is that President Clinton put on steroids the Community Redevelopment Act, a well-intended Ca...
