rantnrave:// In a democracy, morons can win and lead. I'm mature enough to give props to a competitor for a job well done. So congrats Mr. Putin. You've got game. We need a software update... Timing and context are remarkable. Cowards without a constitution (besides self-preservation). Watching CONWAY, SPICER or any of these lowly Trump pundits is my kryptonite... I wonder if once you go beyond a point can you ever really go back? Whatever happened to respecting the idea of the appearance of impartiality? The TRUMP defense... Sad about AMERICA? Here's the antidote... In business, own up to what you didn't deliver. Do the right thing and fix it. Maintain the relationship. Cowards don't reply... You know the type. If time, cost and quality weren't an issue. #startups... The PHILADELPHIA 76ERS are one of the NBA’s oldest and most tradition-bound franchises. But with an aggressive ownership group and boundary pushing CEO, the Sixers are getting into the VC game and changing what it means to be a sports team. "Why Is an NBA Team Trying to Become Tech’s Next Big Incubator?"... The legendary comedian, DON RICKLES was the only man who could insult FRANK SINATRA to his face (and get away with it). Hockey pucks around the world won't be the same without him. "Remembering Don Rickles"... Happy Birthday to DEBRA HAROUNIAN PELTZ, TED WANG, TONY HAILE, TOM SILVERMAN, DAN FAWCETT, JOHN THEODORE, and BILL BOYER.
