Controlling the narrative gives you the edge, Part 2

Controlling the narrative gives you the edge, Part 2

Well, with eyes wide open, I stepped into it last week! In my zeal to champion the cause for critical thinking and of the Enlightenment, I must have touched a sore nerve when I had the gall to tell folks to ask questions. Before I get to your comments, thank you to everybody for reading […]

Let the light shine in and on!

This week in Michigan is Sunshine Week. Sunshine Week, if you are in the know, is a week to shed light into the dark recesses of government, local, state and national. It is to promote transparency in government. The idea is pretty simple: The more the public knows, the more they can and will take […]

CRAP! January 2018, done. Stick a fork in it. Did you know eight percent of our year is already gone, like the snow and ice that fell prior to Monday? Yup, it’s true.
