Dr. Wernher von Braun also nailed the #InformationAge in 1974 (though his optimism about us not descending into an Orwellian state of total surveillance may have been misplaced):

"What just happened in the United States represented an existential threat to the integrity of our institutions."

These people broke the law because they believed they were above it.
They must be held accountable.

@DevinNunes is a HERO!

"Last month, @thechrisbuskirk wrote a column for the Spectator USA describing Representative Devin Nunes as “a hero of the Republic.”

It was well-deserved praise.
Nunes, a Republican Congressman from a rural district in California was, until January, chairman of the House Permanent Special Committee on Intelligence (he is now the ranking member).

"I’m a doctor.

Fine, I’m a doctor of laws not of medicine.

But I can scroll Web, M.D. as well as anyone, so believe you me—forget all the other scourges ravaging our free republic, even if (nay, especially if) they are afflicting you.
Those scourges are mere distractions from the root cause of our impending doom.

Writing Myths #3 Writing Portfolios are the magic way into the industry!!
Get a portfolio said the writing panel/advice/speaker in what is the latest throwaway simple advice that instantly builds a career…. So, let’s talk about them.

1)Portfolios are NOT magic. Simply having one doesn't get you a job. Tey are a tool to be used in chasing work and an increasing number of employers ask for them. Having one can be very useful, but just putting some bits of writing in the same place does not = instant career.
