I have taken my time to write a response to the Supreme Court’s unbelievable ruling regarding the Affordable Healthcare Act. Now it is time. A little over 60 years ago Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto made the following comment after the now infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, …
Years ago, before I “evolved” into computers and now IT project management, I was trained in and worked as an electronics technician. For the first 15 years of my adult career I maintained and repair large scale electronic systems with computer interfaces. I know, it sounds really important, but there …
Well, maybe “oops” is giving him way TOO MUCH of a benefit of the doubt.
