Shot In The Dark: The Pause That Enrages

The Pause That Enrages

Much of the blogosphere is up in arms over Pepsico's CFO Indra Nooyi's remarks at Columbia Business School.

I say "Welcome to the party, slowpokes".

I'm not one of those people who thinks all roads lead back to the Second Amendment - but when it comes to corporate contributions, you can tell a lot about a company by its political donations. Pepsico has been supporting Sarah Brady's various organizations to the tune of $50,000 a year for quite some time.

So while I don't believe in grandiloquent boycotts, really, I've also quietly avoided Pepsi products (not that I drink that much pop anyway), and even subsidiaries (I'll drive a few extra miles to find a Taco John's or a local indy pizzeria rather than go to Taco Bell or Pizza Hut) for the past decade or so.

I see no reason to change.

excerpt:

"In October 1997, PepsiCo spun off the restaurant businesses (Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell) and Tricon was founded. May 16, 2002 Tricon officially became YUM! Brands with the addition of two new brands, Long John Silver's and A&W. YUM! Brands is now the parent company Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, A&W and Long John Silver's. When combined these organizations now make up the world's largest restaurant group."

So, I can still get my KFC original recipe fix.

Diamonds can be heated and enhanced or irridated. The rest of the ore is then used for industrial purposes johnabrahamhot com. So then why would a diamond merchant discount the price on a genuinely good quality diamond that is a billion years old. Regardless of the shape, you really need to look at the cut and if there is any damage to the diamond. Also watch out for cosmetic enhancements or synthetic diamonds. puthenmart com http://www.puthenmart.com/links3.htm
