Episode 45 is in the can and you’ll want to hear this one if you have ever a sliver of a geek bone in your body. A couple of months ago, Melissa Clouthier was on the show and broached the idea of doing a regular Book Club show. She suggested Terry Pratchett’s Guards! Guards! and [...]
More Jobs Created, Saved,or Driven to West Africa
The Obama administration’s trademark dithering is costing us dearly yet again.
