I was rolling through this whole thing. 17 Things You Don’t Know About Howard Dean is one of the funniest profiles I’ve ever read of a politician.

I was going to write a whole thing about why you should vote for whoever the Democrats put up against GW in November. I really was. But, I just can’t do it. Not because I don’t believe it – I do. I just can’t get started. There are so many reasons to vote against him. […]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That […]

Trying to think “outside the box”, I’ve come up with a political lineup sure to attract that middle third of the political spectrum that we’re courting at nonDependant. I had a this weird thought… how’s this for a Presidential ticket? For President, John McCain. He’s a veteran, strong on defense, moderate and independant. He’s also […]

As of 8:54 EST this morning, nonDependant is live to the world. I’m not sure what will happen, how fast or who will join up, if anyone. I don’t know that I’m really all concerned about it. Of course, I hope it’s successful, but it feels good to have just made the decision to do […]

The last section’s been written, and I’m going to do some QA tonight before I turn it on tomorrow morning. I’m excited, nervous, terrified, etc. I’m terrified of both success and failure, but am unwilling not to try. It’s a weird feeling, like the night before a first date. I’ll post a big huge announcement […]

I’m starting a new website. I’m still going to keep blogging here, and keep lawver.net as my personal presence on the ol’ it-ner-net. The new site will hopefully be something else, something larger than just my family. It will hopefully become a community, large enought o influence things and diverse enough to stay honest. Cryptic, […]

More coming at some point (maybe not, I’m not afraid of failure at this point, just never starting) on this, but this community thing I’m trying to start? It’s more of a quest for community. It’s a quest to find the absolute political middle of my country. Right now, I believe the following things about […]

I watched the debate last night, after a long day of doing nothing (God bless vacation time!). Here are my impressions: I’m sorry Bob Graham dropped out, but not too much. He seems like an honest and reasonable guy, but he didn’t really strike me as presidential in the debates I watched. In 2000, I […]

This makes me ill. To sum up, an anti-gay preacher wants to put up a “monument” in Matthew Shepard’s hometown that reads:\ MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, in Defiance of God’s Warning: ‘Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.’ Leviticus 18:22 This could get rocky, so hold on […]
