Re: Taco Bell takes a licking.

I wonder mightily, I do. I suspect you're giving him credit for much more self-awareness than he actually has.

Re: Why Firing Some Clients is a Good Thing

I think that this has now come down to people talking past each other. I also think that there's truth at both ends of the spectrum - once sour carping is ignored, that is - and BOTH of the...

Re: Why Firing Some Clients is a Good Thing

I'm not yet a copywriter, much less one with clients - but I've been a consultant for well over 20 years at this point. Shawn has hit the nail right on the head with this one; this is one of the...
