Lucky Lou's Gas 'n Go and Savings and Loan

Erik April 29th, 2008

Amid the daily barrage of depressing economic data, I was happy to find a bright spot in the news today. Oil companies are posting record profits!

Shell's first-quarter earnings increased 25% to a record $9.1 billion. BP reported a 63% increase in profits to a whopping $7.6 billion. Chevron and Exxon Mobil are expected to post huge increases in profits later this week. Good for them.

Sure we're taking it in the wallet to the tune of $4 per gallon at the pump, but now Lucky Lou� … (Read More)

Erik April 8th, 2008

Spring Break Primer - Navigating Cancun

Erik April 1st, 2008

White History Month - The Gap

Erik March 11th, 2008

Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as Negro History Week and later as Black History Month. Since then, February has marked the beginning of this yearly celebration.

Steve Brown Etc. continues the tradition this year as we pause today (and each remaining week in the month of March) to take a look back at the contribution the white man has made to American culture … (Read More)
