“Concepts of a Plan”
I didn’t watch the debate the other night, but I sure heard about it, and even I had to get in on the meme fun the next day: Apparently when asked for specifics of his plan for American healthcare once … Continue reading
Seasons and their Reasons
It occurs to me that for most holidays, we always end up hearing a lot about how important it is to remember WHY the holiday exists. We’ve got multiple holidays now where we’re supposed to meditate on Freedom and The … Continue reading

Just so I have a place I can point to if anyone asks: I don’t know if he should withdraw or stay in. I do know that whatever happens, there is still a choice to be made between one party … Continue reading
Something for Thursday (July 4 edition)

Let’s see what the bookbanners are up to, shall we? I know, it’s depressing work, but these people are relentless and they are finding more and more creative ways to tighten the noose around books, free expression, and those of … Continue reading
