Aren’t Sundays supposed to be a day of rest? A day to reflect on the week gone and the week to come? How can a man so loved, so full of gusto and confidence, so sure of his destiny … wake up on a bright sunny Sunday morning and be so negative? /sarcasm.

So I have this week off work. Reason? To spend time with my beautiful four year old daughter – we let our kids’ nanny go (ugly fiscal reasons) – and it’s late, everyone is asleep, the Mrs included … and I’m full of beans – wide eyed, bushy tailed and in a bloody good mood.

Remember the days before 9/11? Don’t they seem quaint in comparison to the tsunami of fear we, as a society, face across all fronts – social, economic, and militarily?
As the Obama administration tries to reenergize the American (and therefore, Global) economy – the focus on the U.S. Budget is upon us with renewed and very [...]
