Views To A Kill

Yesterday was a record day for this blog. I received over 200 page views and nearly half that many in unique ip visits. Wow! Are those stats impressive, or what? I'm going with the "or what" option. Not that I really care. I'll be here typing away even if no one shows up. If no …

Business As Usual

This post is a continuation of the theme and/or themes developed in the Follow The Money post here and the Call The Bluff post here.

Russia and vodka couple like America and apple pie (or Chevrolet and John Wayne); …
