The Shorties Cure

Hey folks, sorry for light posting. Life got in the way of writing. Hope to return to a more regular schedule Shortly.

Poor Chuck: Don’t get me wrong, I consider Chuck to be one of the problems with the modern Democratic Party — although it’s possible he’s just a symptom. Anyway, he sure is taking heat for this government shutdown ending. Like lots of source links? Enjoy.

More on kids: it ain’t easy being a poor kid in America.

An actual expert: An Obstetrician on the topic of late term abortion.

Rent: Unfortunately, the big institutions that brought us the housing crisis aren’t particularly interested in being nice landlords either. Hmm, maybe that’s why rental law is governed on the state level.

Go Vegas!: First, here’s some fun and free/cheap things to do in town. Oh yeah, and Go Golden Knights!

And finally,

Whiskey: turns out it kills germs.

I’ve had both right and left leaning links today. Turns out that when you return to the true center, you find both truth and untruth on virtually every point of the political spectrum.

I am OK

When I woke up, my phone was darn near on fire with messages. It took me a while to figure out why so many people were suddenly asking about my health and safety in the middle of the night. I has since learned that there had been one hell of a mass shooting last night in Las Vegas. Here’s a minute by minute account.

I do not have time to process what the heck happened right now, and I certainly don’t have time to say anything insightful. I just wanted to reassure everybody that I’m OK. At the actual time this stuff happened, I was snug in bed roughly 3 miles away.
