Unusual Rewards - Traditional Advertising is Dead
Something dawned on me as I clicked on MSNBC today. Which I only did because I think my landlord (for 8+ years) is getting a new fridge for me. And that causes some panic. "Are you doing improvements to get market value?" "You do know you'll have to...

This NOAA Debacle Is a Problem

The Porn Star/Stormy Daniels/My Name Is
Hello folks. This is my first attempt at a diary. Be kind. Despite my recent campaign promises to both my therapist and (much more importantly, my beautiful partner) to cut back on TV news consumption, I indulged in both Maddow and The 11th Hour...

Nunes Survives
Like all of us, I want as many seats as we can get. But... I kind of look forward to watching Nunes twitch around on the House Intelligence Committee with Schiff as the Chair. My happy vision of karma?

My Stupid Back, and How it Relates to Health Care. A (bad) Story.
I have a story to tell. I'm in pain, so it won't be a great story. But thanks to those that read it. Since 1997 I've struggled with back issues. I was on the backside of a brutal 48 hour shift. Overtime pays the bills right? We got called to one of the...

My List to Shut down "drumpf isn't a Racist" Threads. For TrueBlueMajority.
I made a comment last week about a "list" I use to interject drumpf's overt racism into threads that argue he isn't racist. And that it has been successful in ending such threads, as no one can defend it. It's honestly a list that needs updating, as...

I support Beto. I'm also very upset with his team.
No image. I'm too upset. Beto walked into a trap epuipped with all the required skills to turn it in his favor. He failed. He and his team chose to take the high road. Ted Cruz excoriated them for that choice.  Beto missed almost every...

Another Mass Shooting
I don't really have the capacity to add anything to this but feel like it needed to be noted. Tired of this. "Two people were killed and five other victims were injured in a shooting inside a venue along San Antonio's Museum Reach portion of the River...
