In my day job as a tech trainer, I&#39;ve had to face many an American audience. They have no problem with my &quot;about,&quot; but find my &quot;route&quot; (&quot;root&quot;) hilarious. I don&#39;t find Quebecois separatists normally funny, but Celine Dion is a punch line all by herself. Hockey is religion, so be careful what you say. As for objects of hilarity, we&#39;ve also given the world Howie Mandell, so that pretty much balances things.Ulysseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11702993322170403647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334836757176538347.post-2596537662415083662009-10-11T07:55:37.428-07:002009-10-11T07:55:37.428-07:00I came, I read, I wandered off shaking my head.<br /><br />Word Ver: pester - Ain&#39;t gonna touch that with someone else&#39;s ten foot pole.Chuck H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07266126276487521854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334836757176538347.post-42403442579962916002009-10-11T05:59:04.369-07:002009-10-11T05:59:04.369-07:00Saw your tweet for contest ideas.

Here’s an equally humorous and worrisome article on Forbes, <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2009/09/29/forbes-400-iphone-trump-newhouse-rahr-rich-list-09-24-7.html" rel="nofollow">How Billionaires Control Our Lives</a>. And here’s the recent <a href="http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/54/rich-list-09_The-400-Richest-Americans_Rank.html" rel="nofollow">Forbes List of the 400 Richest Americans</a>. It includes quite a few people running the publishing industry. Many of them individually own quite a few media corporations. Some have lost a couple million dollars, but are still worth billions of dollars. I don’t think any of them are interns or publishing assistants. I also don’t think that so many publishing jobs needed to be cut to preserve the large numbers of billions of dollars at the top.
