Using search engines to generate traffic on websites

Here is an explanation, of sorts, for how Huffington Post could possibly command over 300 million dollars for its site in a recent sale to AOL.

A muslim intellectual weighs in on what gives.

It's kinda nice to hear from a Muslim who isn't afraid to speak out against the obvious.  This Canadian political science  professor pulls no punches with respect to the extremists and the political leadership in the west in this letter to a friend of his in the American media.  The comments following the letter are in many cases as good as the letter itself in their analysis.  We definitely need more of these kinds of Muslims to speak out and promote reform of whatever it is in the Koran that seems to breed and justify the extremist element in that faith.

Obama speech before C of C.

Here is an interesting blog on CSR provoked by O's speech,  Lawyers love to complicate and confuse, but in the short and long run a corporation's first and paramount role is to stay in business.  To do that usually it has to grow and be profitable.  There are times when the corporation may find it helpful to be involved in CSR in order to stay in business and/or be profitable, otherwise it's a meaningless concept.

Obama the Socialist -- revisited

This book written by Stanley Kurtz and discussed in this interview was published after the original post, Obama the socialist, appeared here.  It is crystal clear to anyone who cares that Obama is an unapologetic, committed socialist who ultimately wants the entire US economy to be in the hands of the government.  This is apparent to anyone who does not have blinders on.  The question is why has he consistently presented himself as a centrist and a non ideologue going back to campaign in '08 and even earlier.  Kurtz gives the answer to this question in this interview when he points out that were he to "confess" to being a socialist he simply could not be elected president of the US.  Therefore it is necessary that he be a stealth socialist candidate and then work his plan from within the powerful office of POTUS.

ADDED:  The hallmark of the Obama administration is the practice of "crony capitalism" which of course comes down to supporting those who support your view and plans.  "The Chicago Way", as this practice is called by some, is on display in this article from Investors Daily.

Iranium movie and Diana West on Muslim Brotherhood

This movie  is now being shown in Canada. An attempt was made by the Iranian government to prevent the distribution which failed. It is truly alarming, suggesting immediate action on the part of the US.  Under this administration this is unlikely to occur.

ADDED: (a follow up to the movie)  Diana West informs again, this time writing about the MB and its "infiltration" of CPAC through the influence of Grover Norquist.  This is a really alarming possibility. Diana West IS credible on ME and Muslim/Islam issues.
