I just finished reading Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins (Thanks Conrad and Amanda!) If you want to know why 911 happened, why Americans are in Iraq, and how the trans national corporations are in total control of the US government and the world, you need to read this book.

Kurt Vonnegut, Dead at 84. :(
I remember when I first read Breakfast of Champions, I can honestly say that it changed my life. Vonnegut’s wit, humanism, and critical thought couched in slapstick humor, showed me that you don’t have to be uptight to be just and that you don’t have to be a prick to be conservative. He taught me…

Barbershop Bar
Check this out found at Dane Carlson’s Business Opportunities Weblog. I’ve been cutting my own hair for years now, but I would be tempted to let a barber do it if one of these places existed in Honolulu. Of course, i guess that would depend if the bartender was drinking or not… cd Dane Carlson’s…
