DOES YOUR VOTE REALLY COUNT?
For big elections, the television networks often rely on a private consortium called the National Election Pool (NEP). NEP does projections and predictions. NEP makes some calls for the television networks, but NEP is composed of CBS, CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, and AP. It could hardly be called an independent source of information for those networks. NEP has AP (Associated Press) do the actual vote tabulating, and NEP also contracts work out...

My cousin, who had worked in retail for many years, clued me in. She told me all about how miserable it was with all...
Thanksgiving at the Defense Contractors
It was eleven years ago when the retired generals officially took over the place I had been working. They announced that the regular Thanksgiving dinner celebration would not be like it always had been. Formerly, it was a pretty chill event with everyone bringing in food and setting up their contributions next to the break room.
