I’m in a business that handles a lot of high value items. For security’s sake, it would be unwise for me to publicize an office location where I do my business, which necessitates the use of a PO Box and daily trips to the PO.

Glad to help free you of it!

You want to be a Navy aviator.

I work in the collectibles/historical artifacts trade and had to answer this question on behalf of my full time business.

It took me a long time to learn the value of the rule “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.”

Any text at 5:40 AM is bound to be about an asshole.

If you want to see just how segregated America still is, visit a predominately white church at 8 AM tomorrow and a predominately black church at 10 AM.

Hooray! You saved their adorable little faces! We have two foster failures here. This has been a week of celebrations — two of our recent foster puppies just got adopted via Last Chance Animal Rescue on Long Island. They went from literally subsisting on bowls full of Coca-Cola and Gatorade in a crackheads back yard…

I’m at the post office pretty much every day, but today’s visit was really unusual. A 50something woman, not unusual looking or unusually dressed, was clearly suffering badly from schizophrenia. Her conversations with her voices were loud, but acknowledged that the voices were in her head and they go with her. Then…

I think people who prey on oldsters deserve to have their scrotums torn off with rusty pliers dipped in battery acid, but are reverse mortgages that bad a deal? Is it better to be broke, living in a house you completely own, or have some liquidity to enjoy retirement while living in a house owned by the bank that just…

All the people pissed about diplomacy with Iran somehow rank that as a greater crime than secretly evading Congress in order to sell arms to Iran to raise money to fund a foreign war, then lying about it to everyone who asked. Reagan really and truly made Watergate look like a third-rate burglary.

The only flaw with this essay is that there aren’t six more perfect, damning, offensive, and brilliant paragraphs just like the ones that were written.

It’s easier to launch a lecture and book signing tour from Florida, I suppose.

South Cackalacky. What it lacks it culture it makes up for in cost of living. When I work in NYC, I have basically a 4 foot desk to myself. When I come home to do the creative work, I need nerd nirvana.

Badass. This is all great — I really appreciate the consideration of typing it all out.

They don’t particularly respect Bernie either. Away from cameras, most members of Congress are actually very friendly. (Except Ted Cruz. They all fucking hate Ted Cruz.) Most respect Mrs. Clinton for the work she’s put in, the stuff cameras never see that’s the real nuts and bolts of governing.

I think the noisiest part of the Republican electorate doesn’t like Hillary. Those who worked with her in DC (I’ve talked with several), putting politics aside, generally give her high marks for being thoughtful, prepared, and tenacious. Most rational Republican lawmakers (they do exist) respect the hell out of her,…

I dig it. I suspect the cats will end up sleeping on it too, which is a side benefit.

I read huuuge in Trumpspeak and it made me a little uncomfortable.

Agreed! I’ve been thinking a standing desk/countertop sort of area to spread out paperwork and books, made out of a butcher block or some cool piece of repurposed wood, but maybe a big conference table sort of thing would be even better. I’ve gone from using a laptop on a futon in a Manhattan walkup to a smallish home…
