Jut a guy, trying to make sense of this world, trying to calmly shout into the wind. Diving into history for answers, looking for places where past and present rhyme. Calling attention to things that just don't feel right.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

When the government shuts down, workers go unpaid — but Congress keeps cashing checks and campaign donations.
Why not garnish their income instead?

The Mob’s logic of fear is now shaping how power is used.

Today they attacked two journalists.
