Right Guy, Wrong Town. Thoughts and considerations from a self-proclaimed stalwart. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. A Primary Challenge and a Republican Nomination, That's the Ticket. Two truths could not be clearer in my mind as I write this today: (1) without a primary challenge to President Obama and the nomination of Ron Paul as the Republican Party's pick for president, I will not cast a vote in the 2012 presidential election. (2) I will not be casting a vote in 2012. My wife laughed when she heard I'd vo...

Call this post glib, but the saddest part about this subject is that I've spent more time writing this than most "conservative media" patrons have spent seriously. Means even...

Right Guy, Wrong Town. Thoughts and considerations from a self-proclaimed stalwart. Thursday, August 16, 2012. Voter ID Law Upheld.Penny Wise Pound Foolish? Proponents of the law say they've been trying to get it passed for well over a decade. That's fine. They also say the law is warranted because of rampant voter fraud. Really? Every investigation into that claim has turned up next to nothing but the reality that voter fraud by individuals is minimal; ineffectual at best. NPR's Fresh Air. What's truly ...

Right Guy, Wrong Town. Thoughts and considerations from a self-proclaimed stalwart. Monday, December 31, 2012. The Big Money Lost Farce of 2012. On the presidential election to no effect, “tea party” incumbents and candidates lost despite millions in "dark money," and Karl Rove is a bum. The documentary, if curious).
