It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)
I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.
40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.
I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy. A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.
You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).
If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.
I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,

Hillary will make a great president...as great presidents are defined in this day and age. Keep us out of another mideast war? Even the playing field on wall street? Address gun control..and on and on. At least she needn't carry the burden of hanging people from banks and insurance companys. You know the ones...
Berny?..obviously sharing the illusion with some the price tag for free everything..really isn't free. Too bad he couldn't take bushes tax cuts back from the 1%-ers and fund his programs from that.
Hillary will add that womans touch which may cause an outburst of viable, scandal free social services for those that need it. The book she wrote.."it takes a villiage"...shows a lot of her character.
First, I would note that Hillary is the most bellicose figure in the Democratic Party today. To suggest that that she will take extraordinary efforts to avoid war ignores the history.
Second, I see higher taxes on the wealthy as in independent good regardless of programs, and Sanders speculation (Tobin) tax is also an independent good.
I am sure that she will be good on abortion, and EEOC enforcement.
As to the Wall Street? They are her campaign donors, and paid her a few hundred grand to suck up to them.
She took the money because she wanted to suck up to them.
As to adding a "woman's touch"?
Probably as much as Obama focused on issues of race in America, which was as little as possible.
So glas that I do not live in a swing state.
