UPDATE: Congressman Etheridge’s office has issued a statement regarding the assault: “I have seen the video posted on several blogs. I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved. Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect. No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not justify a poor response. I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse.”
I won’t provide too much commentary on Rep. Etheridge’s latest media interview. I’m pretty sure you can draw your own conclusions. Even if it takes you until election time.

On May 24, 2010, North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue made a quick trip on company taxpayer time to visit reverend Billy Graham at his home in Montreat, NC for a little prayer and advice on how to lead the state during a recession.
According to official accounts a press release from the Governor’s office, the two spent time in Graham’s living room discussing the economy and the challenges of governing the state during difficult economic times. Apparently they also discussed how a prayer would solve all of our economic woes, as the Governor proceeded asked Graham about his plans for another crusade before the two prayed together for North Carolina’s recovery from the recession.
Not wanting the Governor to feel that her trip was a total waste of time, Graham posed for one picture and then brought out the big guns – an extra-special super-duper prayer that Governor Perdue would receive guidance (the source of the guidance wasn’t mentioned in the press release) as she works to lead North Carolina through these turbulent times.
Also, no timeline for the prayer’s fruition was noted. Only Governor Perdue and Graham knows when the recession will be over.
“For many years, Billy Graham has been our nation’s spiritual leader. North Carolina is lucky to call him own of our own,” said Perdue.
She followed up with “I’m thankful for our time together and his words of support. I also want to thank Rev. Graham for his prayers for North Carolina’s swift economic recovery.”
If you’re anything like me, you try to shred as much paper as possible – especially the paper that has sensitive information on it – bills from years-gone-by, ancient tax returns that were done in pencil and even mortgage records and other documents.
But if you’re also like me, you probably have a pile of documents that you need shredded and don’t have the time (or a shredder) to do it.
I’ve got a banker’s box full of this kind of paperwork just waiting to be shred – 4 pages MAX – at a time in my little office shredder.
I really don’t feel like spending my day feeding paper to a shredder that overheats every 15 minutes and takes 15 minutes to cool down, so the pile WAS going to grow, until I saw the following online:
Bring your old important papers and docs to be shredded for FREE!

With the nation’s unemployment rate hovering around 9.7% for the first half of 2010, job hunting could be called the new national pastime. While some signs of an economic rebound have appeared already in North Carolina, significant job growth has NOT been among them. If you’re one of the thousands looking for jobs in North Carolina, you’ll need to get creative to get hired.
But if you ask me, the book provides the most value in its creative strategies that are designed to help job seekers find unadvertised positions and get noticed when the competition is stiff.
“These are original ideas proven to work but known by few,” explained author Susan Greene. “They take finding and applying for a job to the next level, from ordinary to awesome, so that the job seeker finds quality employment more quickly.”
The “Kick-Ass Strategies,” as they’re called, are presented in the form of case studies. “They’re true-life examples that job seekers can replicate and modify to fit their individual situation,” said Greene.
Greene is also the co-author of “The Ultimate Job Hunter’s Guidebook,” a widely-used college textbook on the subject of job hunting aimed primarily at students looking for their first career job. “Job Hunting in a Tough Economy” targets professionals who have some experience in their field.
Taking advantage of its electronic form, “Job Hunting in a Tough Economy” includes many links to online resources such as instructional videos, career blogs and websites with job listings.
Susan Greene - Author of Job Hunting in a Tough Economy: Strategies to Get the Job You Want and the Salary You Deserve
Also included are many sample resumes and cover letters that readers can use as templates in creating their own job search tools. Add to that many inspirational tips and exercises designed to motivate the job seeker.
“Job Hunting in a Tough Economy” is all about taking action,” explained author Susan Greene. “No more feeling sorry for yourself. And no more reliving the moments when you were laid off, fired, quit or were in school. The process of job hunting is more marathon than sprint. Diligence in pursuing your goal is the only way to get to the finish line. The key to getting your career on track is simply to keep moving forward.”
“Job Hunting in a Touch Economy” is available as an immediate download, and it comes with 15 additional e-books and e-reports as free bonuses. According to Greene, each of these products is a virtual mini-course on how to achieve career, financial and personal success. “It’s a wealth of information in one value-priced package,” she said.
NOTE: While I admit, I am an affiliate for Susan’s book, two things are true: I know Susan, and I’ve read this book. Therefore, I can honestly say that Susan’s book WILL make a difference in your job search.
