Thanks to Doug for sending me this.  I was reading about these ’super notes’ (close to perfect counterfeit dollars) awhile back, and in light of the current economic events, this is somewhat concerning.  The dollar is going to be taking lots of hits here, and these counterfeiting operations or war on our dollar […]

     Well, I have been doing a bit of research and found some information about dealing with companies that have mistreated you.  I actually called the Department of Labor here in the US, and asked for suggestions on how employees and contractors can protect themselves or deal with wrongdoings.  The DOL cannot protect you […]

     I was pretty disappointed in Murtha back then when he said those things about the Marines during the Haditha deal.  That to me was not being ‘always faithful’ to the Marines or adhering to the concept of innocent until proven guilty.  For that, Murtha gets a big thumbs down from FJ and from this former […]
