My Public PersonaBeing privacy-conscious, we’ll skip the usual part where I offer up gratuitous personal details. I’ve never thought personal web pages were a very good idea, and in these days of identity theft and phishing, I feel vindicated for having maintained that distinction since the beginning. What you’ll find here is a description of my “public persona”. That means it’s heavily biased toward the things I’ve done professionally, along with various public writings I’ve done, mostly humor and politics. For a long time, I tried not to offer any pictures. But at this point, even if I didn’t, you could find any of a number of pictures of me through various search engines. So I finally decided I’d save you that trouble.

Donations!Please consider donating! It costs me time and money to maintain all of this, and the effort does not break even. (If it ever does, I'll be sure to mention it.) If you can't afford to use this site other than for free, don't feel guilty. We've all been there. But it wouldn't take very many people making contributions of even $5 or $10 dollars to substantially reduce the burden on me. In reality, there have been only about a half dozen contributions at all after a number of years. (I'm very grateful to the few who have chipped in, but I could never have paid for the resources my various sites consume or the time it took me to make them if I had to rely on donations.) So if you've received value from these pages or my writings elsewhere and are looking for a way to say thanks or support the effort, please click here. Writing (Politics, Poetry, and more)I've got a blog on Open Salon if you want to read more thoughts by me or join in the discussion. Here are a few other featured items:
