Books. Bikes. Boomsticks.
Party politics today is a race to the boxcars; first team there gets to make the other team ride.

Countercurrents...

 Kevin Creighton jumps back into the blogging game:

Social media is addicting. Social media is a drug. And it was a drug that was taking over my life.

So this is my methadone to social media’s heroin. I’m getting back into the blogging game. Look for my links and longer content and rants and snarky remarks to show up here, rather than on Facebook. I may write about politics here, I might not. I might write about music here, I might not. I probably won’t write that much about guns, though, as I get paid to do that sort of thing for other people.

What kind of loser still writes a blog in 2020, anyway?
