America The Visceral
I was in California for Tuesday’s election. California is not reporting turnout numbers just yet but based on what I saw, they were low. There were certainly fewer than normal venues as I drove past several that were very active when I…
Appearances
I awake this morning to the news that Dick Cheney has passed away. Once one of the most powerful figures in the Republican Party and the nation, he was one of the last great servants of the people. Never great with the media, he became the…
This Could Explain A Lot
