I was saddened to learn that Peter Drucker died on November 11, 2005. Mr. Drucker was considered the father of Management Studies. I started reading the works of Mr. Drucker in 1973 which helped me breeze through my undergraduate management courses. Although Mr. Drucker wrote a book specifically for non-profit management (Managing the Non-Profit Organization: [...]
Sutter County’s 4th District Supervisor, Jim Whiteaker, apparently doesn’t like the contents of his correspondence with constituents to be used in public. “Flyatnight.com is not someone else’s views on Sutter County. Quotes used on the website came from an e-mail I sent [Name withheld].†Of course the Supervisor is wrong! Mr. Supervisor, please take a [...]
This has been an interesting week. The House Republicans finally found the backbone to pull a political stunt that was one-up on the Senate Democrats. I learned that members of Congress can call the President a liar but nobody can question what they stand for. I learned that what you once said could be revised [...]
The question in the Senate yesterday was, should we establish a windfall profit tax on oil prices above $40 per barrel. Maybe the question should have been can we bring the budget in line with reality? If the Democrats want to use gas as the basis for debate then let me show the fallacy of [...]
The Senate is again debating an amendment to add a windfall profits tax on oil over $40 per barrel. The latest version calls for a $100 non-refundable tax credit. No mention of owning a car. Aren’t the Democrats a bit late? Gas has dropped to pre-Katrina levels in most of the country. Maybe the windfall [...]
With the Democrats clamoring for more investigations it is possible that Joe Wilson, Valerie’s husband, and Valerie herself may be found to be the original leakers of Valerie’s identity. We also may find that Valerie is behind some of the other leaks from the CIA (a stretch but just as logical as any other theory).
The Sutter County Board of Supervisors and Administration (“Team Sutter”) have provided me with some interesting comments over the past few months. A couple weeks ago The Carnival of the Clueless picked up on the “Team Sutter’s†famous KKK reference to a group of citizens. Today we have another treat for the Carnival. County CAO [...]
My friends at the Me! Me! Me! Blog simply can’t give credit where credit is due. Lassen County reported the results of its 6,900 votes at 8:34 p.m. on election night. The Me! Me! Me! Blog (MoonBat) headline: “Placer and San Diego Counties first to report election result @ 8:01PM†Yep, Placer County reported its [...]
The Sutter County Board of Supervisors are at it again. This is the crew that called a citizens group Vigilantes and KKK. This is the same crew that filed criminal charges against the elected County Auditor for doing what he always has done. The current flap is over travel policies. I wish to thank the [...]
It is that time again. Solicitations from non-profit organizations. The California Attorney General released a “GUIDE TO CHARITABLE GIVING FOR DONORSâ€. What should you know before you give? 1. Get involved with charities in your community and support their programs. 2. When solicited for charity, learn about the organization, its activities and fundraising practices. 3. [...]
