Guess what? Verizon just tripled the compensation of CEO Lowell McAdam from $7.2 million to $23.1 million. He makes more in a day than the average union worker at Verizon makes in a year. Meanwhile Verizon has sent thousands of American jobs overseas and wants to outsource even more, gut pensions, charge current and retired employees thousands of dollars more for health benefits. They even want to cut disability benefits for workers injured while doing their jobs. That's corporate greed.

"Susan Abdallah, a Palestinian, knows the recipe for making a terrorist:"

Deprive him of food and water.

Surround his home with the machinery of war.

Attack him with all means at all times, especially at night.

Demolish his home, uproot his farmland, kill his loved ones.

Congratulations: you have created an army of suicide bombers.

I was at the Tracy, California Costco store and experienced something that was foul in nature. The Costco has a self check system where you can go and pay for your products via some automated terminal. All went well, it was a simple task and quite easy to get from checking in your products to paying for them. Until my recipe came out. I was shocked to see that the recipe was a different color than what I was used to seeing at Costco. It was baby blue compared to the off white color recipe.

Such a small world. A delivery man came to my house on February 13th to bring some Pizza. He happen to be from Cuba. Something that shocked me because I didn't think too many Cubans would be out in California, let alone in Cupertino. I thought it was a good opportunity for me to ask some questions on his experience. He had offered to talk by asking me where I was from. I told him I was made in Mexico and born in Texas. In our short conversation, he had given me a brief recap of his life traveling from Cuba to the United States.
