I prefer to post blog items that are both informative, humorous, and, at times off the beaten path of politics. Even I must admit that life doesn't revolve around politics.
I welcome your opinions and even criticisms in the comment sections of this blog. I will respond to your questions and comments as soon as I can.
Thanks for reading!
