Writer, ghostwriter, political junkie, Cubs fan, whiskey sniffer, wine collector, wiseguy. Tempting the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing.

@brclothwrites “He said” and “she said” are nearly invisible guides for the reader, while more exotic choices, in most cases, demand attention and are distractions. Dialogue should flow naturally as if being heard, and working the verb too hard makes the author too present.

@RadioFreeTom Is that a finite thing? Doesn't it go on until the war is over?

I tell myself the reason I haven’t grown my followers list in the last year is that I’m pathologically reasonable and that doesn’t sell on social media. It does, however, sound so much better than admitting I’m dull. Which I’m not, except maybe a little.

@AndrewYang I've been researching the party and you don't seem to stand for anything. What's up with that?

There is no rule that Summer begins on June 21. Summer begins when it gets hot and stays hot, and it ends when it starts to cool down. Where I live, that's June through August. It has nothing to do with the equinox or solstice. I will fight all comers on this issue.

Right now Mitch McConnell is calculating what gun regulation he can allow that is the least that can be done and still enable Republicans to say they're not obstructing while they're still obstructing. My guess is Red Flag laws.

@iaincmgray I would like to sit at a desk at the end of a long hallway, and people would come and pay me with chocolate ice cream to answer yes or no questions.
