This post has updates on how I have been feeling lately, my exercise, and our search for a new dog.

Reviewing The People No
Thomas Frank’s The People No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism was an easy, entertaining read.
Reviewing the Price of Peace
The Price of Peace is Zachary Carter’s look at the life and ideas of economist John Maynard Keynes. While economics can often be a boring subject, I found The Price of Peace to be an important, educational read.
Why I Hate Joe Biden
The verdict for this episode is: I really hate Joe Biden.
In this episode, I discuss how Biden’s Keep America Great website helped me figure out why I hate him.
