Site News, Minor Rants & What Have You

Site news, rants on things in the news and items of general interest … not quite articles, but longer than a sentence or two.

Some Changes

You may have noticed the "Hero Cops" category is no more (well, in the process; I still need to figure out how to change the header). The new category is "Off...

On Bill Meyer’s Show Today

I'll be live on Bill Meyer's HD Radio (BillMeyerShow.com) today at 9:35, talking about the VW debacle. Should have the audio clip on site later today, for those who can't tune...
