...cocky kid who once called Jay-Z a “camel face” has had his share of humble pie. “I put on my pants, put on my shoes,” continues our detail-oriented narrator as he sets out on a job hunt, dressed for success in a black skull cap and puffer vest. For a man accustomed to rocking pink and purple furs, this ensemble is downright conservative, but his interviewers disagree. “You know we’re not hiring murderers, right?” one of them asks...

But suppose each of us who is to receive the $500 tax refund vows to spend it only on products manufactured in the U.S. I have looked at the labels lately and acknowledge it could be a scavenger hunt. Yet this time, my husband and I have agreed to apply our refund toward ordering furniture we know will be made in Ohio. I think it would be an interesting experiment to see if there is any bump in American productivity if every one of us spends the refund...
