I’m hoping it’s just a matter of more focused reporting but it certainly seems to me, lately, that school officials are blindly laying aside their common sense and good judgment to follow idiotic rules that pander to people’s fears. Exhibit A for the week is the Grand Island Public School system in Nebraska where a [...]
Now into the 2nd decade of the 21st century, the FAA is finally going to look into the idea of letting passenger use their electronic devices a bit more. The story specifically mentions the iPad and how the FAA official dismisses the idea that you’ll be using them any time soon. Considering how an increasing [...]
Let’s have a look at the facts, shall we? $800 billion, roughly, in that “stimulus” package they forced through and what do we have to show for it?

With my work life changing as it has, I need a blogging app capable of working on the go. I’m using my Kindle Fire more these days so we’ll see how this works for updating the blog. Hopefully, this will allow me to get more active again.
The ongoing game of political chicken the Democrats are playing by using the looming threat of the massive, mandated budget cuts (a.k.a. “sequestration”) revolves around the Dem’s insistence that taxes be raised on the top 2% of earners in the US.
