Think I was rude in my recent article? Too hard on poor Jane Kleeb? Over-emphasizing her leftist tendencies because of the pipeline issue? Unfortunately, there’s more. Problems in politics and public policy seem to be like cockroaches; for every one you see there are at least one hundred more in the wall. The TransCanada pipeline […]
Environmental Religiousity: Dirty Dishes, Dim Bulbs and Eww! Ineffective Flushes
This article has been sitting as a draft for months.

GiN’s “Deserving of Darts” […]
