The campaign is done, over, Nate Silver can go get drunk, and the formerly confident members of the Republican Party are asking “what happened?”  Also they’re asking “What the hell did all that money go for?” Now I could go … Continue reading →

The Loss Of Loss Leaders?

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Steven Savage

Remember "Loss Leaders" in the world of tech and gizmos?  Have CD's and DVD's that are marked down insanely low, hope you sell, and get people to buy other stuff.  It's a historical practice, and probably one that doesn't get … Continue reading →

Go Farther: Two-Dollar Dreadfuls

Posted on June 8, 2010 by Steven Savage
