Posted on May 14, 2013 by Larry

I spent 20 years working in sales for distributers. A distributorship is only as strong as the brands it represents. Therefore it is difficult for senior management to refuse a supplier’s request to have a meeting of the salesforce. To … Continue reading →

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Larry

The Courageous And The Cowardly

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Larry

Driving Tar Heels To The Poorhouse

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Larry

Jimmy Carter’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Bert Lance, may have resigned in disgrace but he left us with an enduring adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. The Republicans in North Carolina would do well … Continue reading →

Go Figure

Yesterday afternoon the Senate finally confirmed Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense by a vote of 58-41. Getting there was an adventure!

The New F Word

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Larry
