Great analysis of the crackpot genius that is Kanye. I love that he uses Twitter as an emotional outlet as much as a promotional one. Even if you’re not a fan, you’ve gotta admit that those rambling philosophies are coming from a sincere place.

Excellent blog my dear. We’ve always known that when it comes to being thrifty, Aunt Cyndi and Uncle Michael have us beat. What I can say, though, is that NO sale is worth it to me to get up at midnight. I’m more like your mom when it comes to shopping. Very good article. I hope you have a great Christmas.

Well put, Mr. Bucki. How anybody could care about football on that campus right now is beyond me.

I agree with your opinion. This is a lesson which so many of us seem to have to repeat. Not only is it the right thing to admit the truth, but a cover-up often becomes more significant that the original offense. Just look at Richard Nixon, it was the cover-up that ended in his impeachment, not the original break-in.

I could not have said or summarized this situation better. I whole-heartily agree.

Excellent article, well written and very true. Word of mouth is very important in our area!

Pretty interesting and humorous. I thought you might poke fun at the fact that Buffalo has still managed to portray the waterfront or riverfront as actual places that matter in Buffalo. Whether its the long standing Peace Bridge plan or the even longer standing plans for improving the downtown waterfront. But I do agree that attention to detail, punctuation and grammar are important. My favorite advertising mistake was noted while traveling in North Carolina. The sign read ATM machine, and it made me laugh. Some people might not see it, but the ‘machine’ is redundant. Ha, the South can never get it right so appreciate Target even with its poor attempt to sound local.

I’m thoroughly convinced that my fur children smile. How could they not be smiling at how easy and simple their lives are?! Nice post Hanley.

Comment on Zombies: Alive and Kickin’ by Anna Hoffmann

When I read this I immediately thought of the zombie walks, mobs and crawls that happen all over the world – and not just on halloween. And then there’s the fact that zombies are also being used to spread a political message more frequently these days – with the occupy wall street protesters recently dressing up as “corporate zombies.” Very cool post!
