The Yankees
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010I ama New York Yankees fan.
One of the things that I like about the Yankees is that they have an appearance code. A Yankee has to be clean shaven and have his hair neatly cut. The reason for this is that the management of the Yankees feel that the Yankees represent the best that there [...]
A Further Thought on Greed
Thursday, July 15th, 2010Looking over my last post there is something that I feel that I did not make quite clear. The fact is that I do not regard businesses as intrinsically good or bad. A business has one goal. That is to make a profit.

I’m Back
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009After taking a short hiatus from blogging, life gets in the way and I get lazy, I decided that if I really want to do this I should do it.

Here is some thoughts that I have had since [...]
About the Author: Shlomo Bar-Ayal is an Israeli-American, or an American-Israeli (I could never get that right) who is unabashedly pro-Israel, pro-US and a great guy.
He has an open mind to opinions that he agrees with.
As you can see from the picture he is also a rather handsome fellow. If he can ever get his picture on the blog!
