“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Don’t let politeness take a back seat.

Preliminary investigation indicates that one of Ms. Phelp’s grandsons was operating a 2015 Chevrolet owned by Ms. Phelps (the deceased–ed.). Two of her other grandsons, both juveniles, were in the back seat examining a handgun that had been left in the back seat. A 12-year-old male discharged the firearm striking Ms. Phelps who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

Buyers’ Remorse, Reprise 0

Leonard Pitts, Jr., argues that the Republican Party has no right to feign surprise at Donald Trump’s behavior in office. A snippet:

It’s all well and good to hear these men (Rex Tillerson and Bob Corker–ed.) acknowledge Trump’s unfitness, but here’s the thing: he did not suddenly become unfit overnight. He didn’t morph into an overgrown toddler with his finger on the nuclear trigger over the weekend. Moronity did not blindside him when Tillerson had that meeting in July.

To the contrary, his defectiveness was obvious the moment he rode that golden escalator down to the microphone and pronounced Mexican immigrants rapists. It went from obvious to glaring over the course of the most bizarre political campaign in history, a filthy slog through menstruation jokes, penis-size bragging, sexual-assault boasting, calls for violence, 24/7 lies and breathtaking ignorance about well … pretty much everything.

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!).
