The blog, appropriately enough, is entitled “Where are we going & why are we in this handbasket.” It’s a bit too long for [...] I’m so glad we have people to help bring things like this to light. Remember, these are your tax dollars at work. Mark Bennett recently blogged about an email he received from a source he identifies only as Mr. X.
