"Work-life balance" is still a red herring and a dumb-ass issue.
Here, there, everywhere, ya' big Gen-X babies.

A gem from Iowa: Rush on Business
Soon Des Moines-based Sullivan & Ward shareholder Rush Nigut and his Rush on Business will host Blawg Review--we look forward to it. His blog is subtitled "Information on Iowa Business Employment and Franchise Law". In ways his site is like ours: focused on corporate clients. But he has much better material than WAC? for medium-size and small business (he's also a hell of a lot nicer than us). And there's more going on here than Iowa HR, franchise law and even general business law. Rush covers a variety of topics, like the basic team to start a business, politics (affecting business), some litigation, and sports. We loved the reminder in one post which the most sophisticated clients ignore: "Prompt Investigation to Sexual Harassment is Critical". Short useful posts here, the kind a busy client would like to read. He writes well, like a human, too. Interesting and exemplary site business lawyers in any state should really watch.

George W. Bush: "Most American" U.S. President Ever?
Dan Hull, who has never voted for anyone named Bush, thinks the answer is a big Texas hell-yes. And he's convinced that 19th-century French thinker Alexis de Tocqueville, author of the prescient Democracy in America (1840), would agree with him in a heartbeat. See Dan's op-ed piece, "One of us", featured this past Sunday in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, owned and published by Richard Mellon Scaife who--along with the famous 2004 Teresa Heinz battler Editor Colin McNickle--was kind enough to put up with Dan and his take.
