Attention citizens. In the coming years, there may be some doubts as to your rights and obligations as a citizen of the United States. I have consulted the source documents. They are brief, and they are clearly written. Should anyone attempt to tell you different, they are wrong. Also included are some brief thoughts on . . . → Read More: Your Rights I’ve been traveling the past couple of days, and I haven’t felt up to a full-bore rant about the election results and the broken direction our country is careening. Below is my somewhat scattered set of thoughts. It contains profanity and makes no attempt at being polite. Consider yourself warned. . . . → Read More: Election Dulles was even less impressive than I mentioned last time. When you get checked in at terminal “G”, you go through one of a series of doors, and there are a bunch of planes out there. After that, near as I could tell, you wander around with the other passengers asking each other “is this . . . → Read More: Flight Specifically, the “G” concourse of Dulles sucks.
