The Great Man Theory of History
Kevin E. Dayhoff

Pulling The Plug
Kevin E. Dayhoff
One of the key talking points of the new Obama Administration is its commitment to lead our nation by maximizing technology. Yet within a few scant weeks, the new kids in the Oval Office have endured their fair share of glitches, error boxes and system crashes.

Repackaged Isn’t Change
Kevin E. Dayhoff

Political Heresy and Unvarnished Truth
Kevin E. Dayhoff

Barack Rhymes With Tupac
Kevin E. Dayhoff
