GIs winning hearts in Bagdad
We don’t often see these types of videos, but these types of things happen often. I believe these interactions show the “Real American Spirit” under all that gear.

Guerilla Marketing. It’s the best
I was never a good sales person. So, just like a blind person over-developing their hearing to compensate for lack of sight I developed my psychographics and guerilla marketing skills
The biggest benefit of Guerilla marketing is: I get most bang for my buck. Close second is I get to use my creativity.
Here is an example:
I offered to provide doggie treats to independent coffee shops with patios. They often get lots of customers with dogs and often they do offer doggie treats etc. to their customers (which is an expense for them.)
Now I buy the treats, I replenish the box when empty, and they get the happy customers. It’s a win-win-win.
I get pretzels from Costco ($8) I donate the pretzels to friends, family, guys on the side of road who will work for food etc. Then I fill the container with treats.
This is what it looks like.
I place the treats in a high visibility spot. So both me and the coffee shop owner can benefit from this added value.

The owners are more than happy to promote my business, and allow me to put an 8×10 sign with my name and number.
So what?
I have been doing this for a month. I have 3 coffee shops/cafes. and as a result I made 2 sales.
Naturally I will continue to do this indefinetly, and now I am going after chain coffe shops with cool managers.
I hope this helps

Why are they silensing Ralph Nader?
After watching Obama and McCain talk in circles while not saying anything of substance. I am very disappointed with anyone who calls himself/herself a patriot, and have not been working to get third party candidates in debates.
What are they afraid of? They “the big biz” want to keep public numb and ignorant.

Whoa! Are you guys for real?
OK let me get this right. I am having hard time understanding a few things.
Banks are not lending each other money.
So this great administration [who has never lead us down the wrong path, who is known for total transparent government,] wants me and my kids to pay up $700Bil. and says just give us the money we’ll fill you in the details later, and if you don’t act now it’s all going to be blood in your hand.
What do I not get?
1) If a bank is not lending someone or a bank money I don’t think I want to lend either. Bankers know about money, and if they feel uneasy I sure as hell don’t feel swell.
2) I don’t have $700Bil and I’d rather not borrow it from my unborn kids
3) If a dry cleaner ruins my $14.95 shirt, I don’t go to that dry cleaner again, let alone take a $600 jacket to clean.
What blows my mind is this thing will pass.
Where is the change Obama is calling for?
Where is Maverick to defend the taxpayers?
Where are all the patriots taking to the streets and yelling Hell No we Won’t pay.
Your mess your clean up?
When? When will American public be more like those third world people who they admire so much when they’re on the streets by the thousands protesting. Demanding democracy, and want their leaders to act.
I have a dream. One day….
