Digital marketing is all the rage, but Ron Wynn became one of America’s top real estate brokers relying on an instrument that was pioneered in the Stone Age.
His Name Was Ron
Although I never knew his name, I was deeply saddened to learn this morning of the passing of someone with whom my entire relationship was nothing more than a thousand acknowledging glances and nods.
The Entitlement Myth of Nonprofits
Nonprofit companies prey on the public’s mistaken belief they are altruistic organizations doing God’s work. Much too often, they are merely legal tax dodge schemes. Some, like Consumer Reports, engage in business practices they purport to oppose.
Liam O’Shaughnessy’s Jewish High Holidays

Kamala Harris’ Defense of Police Brutality
Given the national furor over the excessive police force, it’s a wonder that Kamala Harris is rumored among Joe Biden’s top picks for a running mate. Harris once prosecuted a mentally ill woman who was severely injured in a police encounter. She also refused to prosecute a corrupt California utility whose negligence resulted in eight deaths and the decimation of an entire neighborhood.
The Liberalism of Conservatism
