New Marriage Stats – Marriage is on the Wane

Last updated on: May 15, 2012 at 7:37 am By Tim Suttle

Here are some new stats on marriage from the Black, White, & Gray blog. Interesting trends happening right now. Divorce rate seems to be going down in our society – if only slightly. Overall marriages are down as well, which means the drop in divorce rate is due to the fact that more people who would enter “risky” marriages are now less like to marry. Kudos to Iowa for being the best state in the union for sticking with a... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: May 14, 2012 at 7:38 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that everyday when I’m running on the Mill Creek Trail I speed up and watch for flying objects as I pass under the bridge at K10 Highway. I confess that I do this because I have an irrational fear that someone is going to throw a glass bottle out of a car driving past at 80 miles an hour, and that it will hit me on the head, (despite the fact that nobody uses glass bottles anymore except...

Why I Hate Mother’s Day – by Anne Lamott

Last updated on: May 13, 2012 at 6:09 am By Tim Suttle

Anne Lamott is one of my favorite writers of creative non-fiction. I love her writing – so raw and beautiful – because she meanders in an almost stream of consciousness fashion, then drops in a zinger so profound I have to put the book down just to let it sink in. She’s brilliant, irreverent, and unwilling to describe the world without utter honesty. Lamott wrote an interesting article in Salon called “Why I Hate Mother’s Day,” in which she takes on the...

Tuesday we looked at how the top 10 consumer product companies. Wednesday was a look at the top 6 broadcasting companies. Today is a snapshot of the banking industry. Over the past two decades in particular, the top U.S. banks have been buying smaller banks. In the 2008 financial crisis these banks were deemed “too big to fail,” thus they were a part of a $14 trillion buyout. The graphic above shows the trajectory of how big banks have become...

Yesterday we explored the 10 companies that make most of the products we use on a daily basis. Today I want to show a snapshot of how the media companies have been changing over the past few decades, using this interesting infographic. Some interesting facts from the Graphic are: In 1983, 90% of American Media was owned by 50 different companies Today, 90% of American Media is owned by 6 companies GE, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, CBS, and News Corp...

Say hello to the 10 companies who make most of our consumer products

Last updated on: May 8, 2012 at 7:07 am By Tim Suttle

There is a pretty interesting graphic making its way around the internet right now, showing the hundreds of corporations and brands that are owned by just a few central companies. It’s pretty amazing to think that nearly every consumer product you buy traces back to just a handful of parent corporations. These enormous corporations are now considered to be “people” by the federal government. This means that they can give unlimited amounts of cash to politicians who are running for... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: May 7, 2012 at 8:24 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that our family friend Jenny Hutchinson (Thompson), is in surgery at KU Med right now donating her kidney to a little boy named Hayden. I confess that I believe her act of kindness is an example of how normal everyday people can push back the darkness by imitating the life of Christ. “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” (John 15:13). I confess that on this day, Jenny Hutchinson has... Read more

Don Chaffer is a Son of a Gun

Last updated on: May 5, 2012 at 6:30 am By Tim Suttle

A few months ago I ran into Don Chaffer at Conception Abbey. While we were catching up on what we were into at the time, Don started telling me about his work on musical theater projects. I knew Don from years of running into each other on the road w/our respective bands. Moreover, I’d never known what the process of writing and producing a musical was like. Don taught me that writers and producers of plays and musicals run a... Read more
