I don’t know if you’ve heard about this, it seems to be something that no one likes to talk about, ALL DAY LONG, in EVERY MEDIA OUTLET POSSIBLE… but there’s this recession thing going on. Yeah, I know, it sucks. Fortunately, while DC isn’t immune to the [...]

Randy Cassingham produces a weekly email column called THIS IS TRUE which focuses on the insane and inane in life.
