Bio
1. I am not a professional, ex-professional or aspiring-to-be professional writer. I can’t spell but that’s why God invented spell checks. My grammar sucks - if God cared about grammar He would have also created better grammar checks. I misuse commas, indulge freely in parenthetical sentaces to express tangential thoughts, and have no qualms ending sentences in prepositions. I say this not in apology but in warning. If such things offend you - stop reading. Stop now........ 2. I don’t engage in political discussions with friends, foes or complete strangers. I believe that politics are the true opiate of the masses. I’m convinced that whether flying under the banner of “Democrat” or “Republican”, all politicians above the very local level have the exact same personal mission statement: “I will rape and pillage the country for my own financial profit.” Fuck ‘em all.
