Political Compass Test, Part XIV
That's right, it's time for my yearly Political Compass Test! Almost identical to my result from last year - .25 deviation on one axis. Still pinker than raw chicken....
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas
Governmenting is hard work. Representing hundreds of thousands of people can't be easy, what with those unwashed masses demanding 'accountability' and 'doing your job'. Sometimes, what that job is might slip a representative's...
Send In The Marines
Look, I have an idea. Let's let the military handle policing. What, that's a bad idea? Yes, yes, I know about the Posse Comitatus Act. I know that "military occupation" isn't exactly a happy thought. But hear me out here...

Game Misconduct
I think it's safe to say at this point that sports hasn't been exactly charitable to women, and that has been put on display time and time again recently. Yet for all the many high profile cases where various leagues and teams...
Moving right along (left along? whatever)…
Ha ha suckers! In under the one year mark! But yeah I've horribly neglected this blog. I'm going to try to fix that. Probably won't, though. Here's my Political Compass results for the year: That's -9.12 Economic, -8.67...
