Governance 101: Oh, we were just kidding …
Can we believe anything from Washington any more? This example demonstrates not only total folly, but dishonesty as well if indeed Rep. Olson’s report is accurate. There is every reason to believe it is so because other, independent, sources recounted … Continue reading
It’s the journey, not the destination stupid!
