Given the total chaos coming out of DC it’s hard to write about coherently. But I think I pulled it off in this column.

"Right" vs "Left"

There's hypocrisy on both sides, but on balance I think MAGA folks are the hypocrisy champs. It's good to know they’re good at SOMETHING.

Finding Common Ground

This country is getting more and more partisan. We need to fix that before more people get shot.

Doing Actual Useful Work

I mean, I guess we need bosses, sales people, marketers, advertisers and investors. But do we need so many of them? And where would they be without people to do the actual work?

Don’t just sit around and complain on social media. DO SOMETHING!

Go to indivisible.org to find local direct action you can take.

Or sit on your butt and call your elected officials. 5calls.org makes it easy. Takes 5-10 minutes.

DO IT!
