Michigan Supreme Court Justice candidate Bridget Mary McCormack has the best political ad of the season.  Actually, possibly ever.  She re-assembled the cast of The West Wing to explain the rules of a non-partisan ballot.  The ad is informative, educational and it has CJ Cregg in it. If only more political ads could be this great.

We are now fifty days away from the American presidential election and unless Mitt Romney’s campaign team has one hell of a October surprise lined up, I think its already over. Last week people were already saying it when Romney decided that a press conference set up mere hours after an American ambassador in Libya was murdered was a good ...

For the first time in two years, I qualified for our company’s quarterly sales champions event, now branded Club Red. TFW readers with long memories might remember in the past we did stunt school, Amazing Race around Melbourne and other such shennanigans.  This time, it was a much more relaxed affair.  We spent the afternoon cruising on a 27 metre ...
