This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I think Obama should have nominated Mitt Romney for Secretary of Defense, if only to make the GOP party get even more bug-eyed rabid. He would have never taken the job but the jab-it-in-your-eye value of it would have been amusing. Chuck Hagel, seriously? As Peter Parker/Spider Man would say in the movie. GOP oatmeal from Nebraska, another of the nothing states distinguished only by the legend of college football and rural homogeneity. Christie, I reckon, is the new Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’s where the Governator of California was re ther GOP in his final years of office, only he’s a natural born citizen.

The danger would have been, suppose Mittens said “yes.” Then the DOD would have been in the hands of a proven incompetent, As for Hagel, it’s hardly a policy-making position and he’s hardly a policy-making guy . . . and he’s relatively sane.
The fact that Teabaggers don’t like him is stick in the eye enough.
