I am extremely proud to say, my new book, HOW TO SURVIVE A BEAR ATTACK, is published today.
A memoir, an investigation, nature writing, plus a dash of fiction, it's a blend because I started writing with a question -- if I'm attacked by a bear, will I survive?

been reading a lot of medieval English history recently and it's instructive as to why the Anglo political tradition evolved away from monarchy. every 4th king or so would turn out to be a murderous lunatic, people got sick of it
it is kind of interesting how not only do they openly yearn for monarchy, but they also want a system of monarchy more absolute than almost any of the historical reference points where the president can tax, spend, declare war, even suspend habeas corpus at will
Johnson blames the No Kings protests. Says “it is quite ironic.” Johnson says “if President Trump was a king” the government would be open.
