A Straight Shot of Politics

A blog from a gentleman of the Liberal political persuasion dedicated to right reason, clear thinking, cogent argument, and the public good.

About Me

Name:
Location: Columbus, Ohio, United States

I have returned from darkness and quiet. I used to style myself as "Joe Claus", Santa Claus’ younger brother because that is what I still look like. I wrote my heart out about liberal politics until June of 2006, when all that could be said had been said. I wrote until I could write no more and I wrote what I best liked to read when I was young and hopeful: the short familiar essays in Engish and American periodicals of 50 to 100 years ago. The archetype of them were those of G.K. Chesterton, written in newspapers and gathered into numerous small books. I am ready to write them again. I am ready to write about life as seen by the impoverished, by the mentally ill, by the thirty years and more of American Buddhist converts, and by the sharp eyed people [so few now in number] with the watcher's disease, the people who watch and watch and watch. I am all of these.

My Apologies...

...for the blogging haitus. I am a poverty stricken man. This means I live on the edge of crisis 24/7. I mentioned below that I was able to go to my monastery only through the generosity of a friend in the Dharma. What I had to contribute to the process was time that I would normally be working and making money. The result has been several days of crisis, threats of utility shutoff, and the need to accept more hours of continuous works than my bipolar condition can put up with for very long. I hope to be able to drop a couple more posts up today and tomorrow.
