The former is well known, the latter was more significant but is not as well known. This commencement season, they are well worth comparing for I think a comparison gives us some unsettling insight into our culture. My column this week:

Steve Jobs vs. Ronald Reagan and What You Won’t Hear at Commencement

But, I’m back and back to posting.

Well, I so don’t like the Citi credit card commercial where the young woman climbs to “the rock she really had in mind.” I mean, who needs that dumb little rock on the 3rd finger anyway?

The commercial has generated a lot of buzz, but not for the reason it bugs me! Here you go.
Please see what you think! And thanks for stopping by:
