There is another stink bomb

There is another stink bomb lying in wait regarding Ms. Masoff and Five Ponds Press. Turns out she is not just an author for Five Ponds, she is the owner of Five Ponds Press. She is married to Lou Scolnik, the man in Wapo's article that identified himself as the owner.

This is Joy Masoff's LinkedIn Public Profile:

Joy Masoff

Owner, Five Ponds Press

Greater New York City Area

Current: Owner at Five Ponds Press

Education: Pratt Institute 1973 — 1976

I can't imagine why Five Ponds Press has neglected to tell the Washington Post or any of the other media outlets they have given interviews to, including CNN, that Ms. Masoff occupies two considerably different positions within the company.

I was away for the weekend and missed this. Unbelievable. A disgrace and an outrage. And another reason for parents to be more politically active with their local school board elections. If we ignore such local elections, then raising a nation of idiots just might be our own damn fault.

Sigh....this country is rife

Sigh....this country is rife with historical inaccuracies. Even in technology. As was once said. "History is a lie agreed upon."
