I own and run a small internet business.  I also work for a consulting company, where I help people with their online marketing.  So far these have both been great jobs because of the relative lack of government intervention.  I used to be a part owner of some restaurants, and even as an owner of [...]

Barack Obama gave future presidential hopefuls a clinic last fall on how to run for president.  You begin by writing a memoir about yourself.  Some might say that a memoir is something that is written after you have accomplished something, but Obama has proven that this genre can be bent to be used for the [...]
