Views on the News from the Couch
My goal is to explore subjects that interest me – and might interest you – with some occasional humor and less partisan spin.
I call myself a conservative at about the 40‑yard line for Republicans but even that gets confusing given how far crazies and the media have moved the goalposts.
My aim is simple: call out the crazy on all sides and pull the conversation back toward a sane middle. AND encourage people to read the actual source material instead of just repeating headlines or relying on the media to tell us what we need to know. Full disclosure, I probably miss some of the crazy on the right.
If that sounds like your lane, give Views on the News from the Couch a try – and if you like it, please share it.
Be safe, and wear sunscreen.
