Mr. Marcus of Home Depot doesn’t understand capitalism
It’s hard to avoid stories about Prince Harry and his takedown of the royal family. His book Spare, which is released this week, apparently pulls no punches and disses much of the royal family including his brother William who he alleges bullied him as a kid.

Republicans are trapped in their own cage
I must be feeling better if I can blog about politics again. Republicans “won” control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November with 222 seats to 213 for Democrats, a nine seat gain.

This blog is changing
On December 13, 2022 my blog turns twenty years young. Some things are going to change. First, I’ve migrating the blog to wordpress.com. Except for the first few years of its existence, I’ve managed it with WordPress. WordPress has proven capable of doing what I needed doing but with 20 years of content it’s becoming…
