I had a most interesting Monday morning (I guess interesting is as good an adjective as any.) Anyway, I had the opportunity to attend a hearing on the direction of funding for transportation in the United States. It was chaired by the Chairman of the House Transportation Committee, who happens… Continue reading
Recently a clever bunch of Eastern European crooks (probably Russian-mob connected) has figured out a way to hack into the accounts of Europe’s carbon registries and steal millions of Euros that were earmarked to save Planet Earth; or at least stave off the diminishing number of Mercedes and BMWs affecting… Continue reading
Two years ago today, Barack Obama was inaugurated as president of the United States and had an overwhelming majority of Democrats in the House and Senate.
