Clearing the Browser Tabs – Government Opacity Alert Monday Edition
We’ve found more guns “walked” by the administration as part of Operation Fast and Furious (via memeorandum). Police seized two of over 2,000 missing weapons from a couple members of the Sinaloa cartel right here in the United States. By anyone’s best estimate, we’re still missing about 1,500 guns. That number would be a lot [...]

Clearing the Browser Tabs – Look Who’s Back, Babies!
I’m back, babies, and I’m badder and bloggier than ever! Thank you for bearing with me while I took a few days off from The Shack. I did get some rest, aligned my chakras (wait…what?), and re-thought my approach to how I want to do all the things online I really want to do. I [...]
