New High in U.S. Prison Poplulation
Apparently we hit a new record… go us?
More than 1% of the U.S. population is presently in jail. Obviously if you are minority or poor than more than 1% or your community is currently in jail. I don’t understand how we accept that state of affairs as if […]
I’m sure this will be the first of many apologies. I was hoping to write a post or at least update a page every few days, once a week on the outside. I, of course, failed. I’m sure I’ll fail again but I’ll keep trying.
I’ve been busy. I flew down to […]
It’s been a few days since the questionably named Protect America Act expired and we haven’t been killed yet. No reason we should be the same wire tapping continues unabated, but now they have to go to the FISA court which never learned the word no. But it is at least has […]

Due to the subtitle of this blog I get a number of people who appear to be searching for the difference between the words illusion and allusion washing up on the shores of my web pages. I suspect they flail about a bit and flee, whatever they gained from their visit it was not […]
So looking through my log stats I saw a sudden spike in people coming to my page searching for “computers internet blog”. While I have pages that match those words, I can’t figure how my pagerank for that search would result in any number hits coming to my pages from that search, much less […]
