Our Heart of Darkness
In honor of Black History Month, this is the first of a multi-part series on the struggle for racial equality in the U.S. I'm aware of the potential arrogance of writing about racial experience while occupying the throne of the U.S. racial pyramid (whiteness), however false it may be.

Radical Centrism Policy Papers 2 I'm sure my three week absence of posts about politics, history and culture has been devastating to my devoted audience. My deepest apologies to both of you.

What the Russians Did Very Well
Above: Just one of the many Russian fake news stories (this one about a pedophile sex ring involved with the Clintons and run out of a pizza shop in Washington D.C.) that found traction on social media, including being reposted by many of my neighbors! The story of what the Russians actually accomplished in the 2016 ...
A Modest Proposal: Radical Centrism
Amid the battlefield that has been created for us by inviting us to bait and battle our political opponents, I fancy myself striding, gladiator-like, into a no-man’s land below the fireworks to lay down a modest proposal for the rest of us.
