The Nightmare of Boeing's "Dreamliner"

Bad fasteners, delays in production, quality control problems, all of these brought about because Boeing tried to outsource on a world wide basis the fabrication of pieces of the 787 Dreamliner. Now, even more delays.

Politics as Blood Sport

People who bemoan the state of politics don't know politics. Politics is about disagreements. It's a nasty business. Always has been. Always will be. There has been a shootout on the senate floor and more than one duel over political disagreements.
