The Game of Life

Going Home
I have finally made the move back to my own domain for my blog. This blog will remain at least as long as it takes to import everything from the new blogger to WordPress. I have no idea how long…

Dennis Kucinich
This has been an interesting investigation. I knew, based on the fact that Dennis Kucinich ran in 2004, that this was a candidate who was serious. I found that personally I could probably like Dennis. His position in opposition to…
