The easiest solution is to wait 10 years.

What do you call someone (like, say Jenny McCarthy), who honestly deludes herself into a position where their lies are both harmful and profitable? Does it matter what they really …

Movember isn't a billion dollar pinkwashing scam like Komen, though. It's grassroots awareness.

No, honest rudeness is better than dishonest politeness. It wastes less time, for one, and sends a clear message that you will be happier elsewhere.

Sorry, that's completely backwards. Zappos can do it because they have HUGE profit margins on luxury/unique products, and those margins pay for customer service. Whereas AA can't b…

"Oh.", with appropriate tone of voice. Works in a wide variety of circumstances.
