Copying vs. Innovation

Copying almost always results in an inferior position to innovate. Those who copy - be it ideas, styles, or anything in between - is set to fail for lack of a vision

Sarah Palin? You can’t be serious…

I’m still apalled and baffled that there are people in this country that would put Sarah Palin even remotely close to the word “president” - or even consider combining the two in the same sentence.
