Review Gordon Ramsey’s Street Burger
I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

Barbara Lee, a current congressman from the New Orleans part of California (Oakland), is running for U.S. Senate. Barbara Lee is someone I do have a slight amount of respect for as she was the only member to vote against using force to invade Iraq after the 9/11 attacks. That is where my respect for…

I have a confession to make. Folks in North Idaho communicate with each other through Facebook. Yep, a few have their own websites, but my wife has proved to me that to keep up on activities here, you need a Facebook account. I didn’t want to, but my local State Senator forced me into reconsidering.…

A family member who reads this blog reached out to me and queried the question “If you are a libertarian shouldn’t you accept trans folks?” This person is not wrong, but here are my thoughts. I want to asterisk my thoughts with this disclaimer. I do not agree with this lifestyle, nor do I accept…
