Money For Nothing
Radio Shack reported this week a 20% drop in 4th quarter sales. It was their 8th consecutive quarter of losing money. They also announced that they would close over a thousand stores. Oh, and they also announced a half-million dollar bonus for their ceo.

Running My Mouth
Two speaking gigs coming up in the next few weeks.
Next week I'll be at the American Society on Aging conference in San Diego on a panel about marketing to people over 50.
On April 2nd I'll be in London to give a talk at Advertising Week Europe. I expect to see you all there. And, please, no lame excuses about passport difficulties.
And if you're looking for a dynamic and provocative speaker for an event you're having, I can do a pretty good impersonation.
