What stories are catching my attention this week? How do the ‘dots’ connect? What to look for, and I round up the top stories midweek. The conspiracy theorists are already filling the factual holes on the mysterious disappearance of Flight 370. Are you getting the right information to make informed decisions about what the US Foreign Policy should be with Russia and the Ukraine, or are you letting cable television ‘entertainment news’ shows do your thinking for you? What can today’s long term unemployed learn from 16 year old coders who are already making money? Are the Koch brothers really the biggest political contributors? (Not by a long shot). And one really angry story about a cat “with a history of violence”. Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul
