Hi there!

Welcome to my new website. This site is in "preproduction" so expect things not to work. Everything about it is new and will evolve and change. The primary idea of the site is to get me off Facebook where I annoyed all of my friends. But there are LOTS of secondary ideas also happening. If you know me, please send me an e-mail or contact me on facebook if you have any comments. Please be patient. This site will have formatting, link issues, and pretty much any website issues you may have experienced since 1993 and the dawn of the internet. But I'm going to try to make it work.

Quick Takes

The darkness that exists in the corners of American politics, highlighted daily, is being exacerbated by Trump with his silliness. Trump doesn't care if his supporters are evil as long as they support him and destroy his enemies. If he wins in 2024, America is lost.

Strategic voting requires all voters to come together to defeat the remainder of Team Trump. The 2022 rule for all good thinking people is which candidate can defeat the Team Trump candidate in this election.

I'm getting really excited about the James Webb Telescope!

Trump should start to lose litigation matters now. BigLaw is no longer on his side. He has to hire really terrible attorneys. I hope he really starts to go down.

I'm watching Biden and he looks really old, frail and not put together. I seriously doubt he will make it all four years. President Harris, anyone?

Alabama’s population is shrinking for the first time due to COVID deaths. But sure, the vaccines are “dangerous”.

If you would have told me before the election Biden had all our troops home from Afghanistan 8 months after he was elected with one explosion killing 13 of our soldiers, and that he brought back with him 100,000 Afghans who helped the Americans, and that the Taliban was...

King County is averaging 20 hospitalizations a day right now and the state of Washington is averaging 118. So King County is about 1/6th of the hospitalizations despite being more than 1/4 of the population.

There is no doubt that the Biden administration is doing the Afghan withdrawal backwards by going back in to remove people after the fact. But results are results. The US is NOT responsible for the entire Afghan nation. That some marginal Afghan facilitators will be left...

In King County where I live, the highly vaccinated towns and cities have already reversed the Delta curve and the lower vaccinated towns and cities have not. That 60% effectiveness against COVID that sounds so low against any infection? It's 60% effective! That helps!

The Eliminator 1000 – Great Songs to Listen To – oral (Björk feat. Rosalia) vs. Pump It (Black Eyed Peas)
