August 12, 2022 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

Opinion Hillary Clinton won the 2016 presidential popular voting by 2.86 million. So the people of the United States decided to install that women into being the president of the United States by any competent measure.

Members of the electoral college should be punished for their action against the will of the…

Management Problem Allegedly Persists To The Level Of Incompetence?

April 12, 2008 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

This blog ran a series of articles delving into an internal problem at a state university. We were made aware of this problem late fall of 07 and began putting up articles a few months later in an attempt to pressure the university to take action.
