This summer, as one of my loyal readers, you may have noticed a considerable drop off in my posting volume. It may have to do with a busy summer of music, moving, working, and planning a huge fall project over on my other site. Or it may just have been because I’m lazy. [...]

If you’ve been watching any of the cable news channels in the past few days you’ve undoubtedly seen FEMA director Mike Brown being torn a new one by a variety of anchors. Just go anywhere on the web to see the many examples of his incompetence. Now via Talking Points Memo, comes news [...]
Ok, I thought my anger had temporarily run its course, but the sheer disregard that this president shows for the hundreds of thousands of people currently in harm’s way is truly disgusting.
Check what the White House seems to find important today.
