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.

Norman Ornstein has come down to calling them “pathetic.” This from a person ensconced at the American Enterprise Institute woho, two years ago, had a book published that told people that only the Republican Party was responsible for all the dysfunction. Now I’m become so charred I think they should be encouraged to burn everything down so there can be no mistake in anyone what they’re really about — punitive nihilism. They love to strike at others and hitting the poor by diminishing food stamp funding is an obvious swing. It occurs to me whenever I hit Baja Ranch that they’re aiming squarely at working people who are struggling and the GOP detests them not only for the fact that they are poor but because they are also not white and that if they are attacked enough somehow they will vanish from American life.

They’re so single-minded and maniacal it’s almost a comedy. Why hasn’t someone written a short story about the near future in which they got everything they wanted and then were all killed by a plague because they demolished any attempt to implement a national free emergency vaccination?

They really do seem to have become the party of mean for the sake of mean.
The vindictiveness is staggering.
