Politics

Hey, I’ve got opinions just like anybody else. However, I do restrict my commentary to matters in which I have some degree of information. I think that you will find my commentary well-informed and closely-reasoned. That does not, of course, mean that you will agree with it. Either way, I hope you enjoy it.
