Posted on July 22, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Doug Hughes, a Florida Postal worker, landed what has been described as a “flying lawn chair powered by a small motor-driven propeller” on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol.

Trump; Attack of the Lesions!

Posted on July 20, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Amazing how the refuse circles to defend itself against the impact of a statement based on fact.

Iran – A Troubling Future

Posted on July 14, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Evaluating politicized outcomes requires a rather peculiar approach. Whereas (normally) one would evaluate an outcome based on a comparison with “best possible” ideals this is not the case with government policy. It’s always the least invasive paired with highest optics factor at play and the lowest possible common denominator mated with the least likely to be sustainable.  Read more...
