This probably would have remained hidden except for one family member’s discontentment."

Can you lie with a straight face?  Can you get a $1000 suit?  Then you have everything needed to earn six figures in corporate middle management.  Trust me, nobody will notice if you're totally incompetent.

You have 125 days, folks.  Will you choose to fall for the same pack of lies once again?  Or will you dig in your heels and demand progress?

I haven't read the article yet, I will, but now I would just like to say how glad I am that investigative journalism is back on its feet after a long long time of living off sound bytes.

Both reporters appeared this morning on the first hour of the Diane Rehm show.  Very interesting and distrubing what they had to say.
