Transpicuous News Feb 8 2015: Putin's Aspergers, America's Measles, and Scratch-n-Sniff phones

Oh What a week it's been.  Between the media and politician driven fear porn about the Measles and the push to punish those who've actually done their homework and refused toxic vaccines, to the soap opera of Greece, the EU and the Ukraine debacle, and the question of why 3 JPMorgan Execs were all gathered on a train together..... Can things get any more ridiculous?  Probably.... and judging from the news that's been breaking in the past 24 hours, I would say that things are just spinning faster and faster.

Remember: 

                      Be Aware

                                        Be Prepared

                                                              and Keep your eyes on the ball!
