I recently joined the Woolly Board and got to see the show on opening night. Glad you liked it!

I mean, it has always worked out splendidly for people trying to invade that other ginormous, frozen country…

The great work begins.

Chris is the real deal, a sharp-as-shit legal journalist with a very strong point of view who — as a former practicing lawyer — knows his views mean little without clearly conveying FACTS. If you want to learn what happened, and why, and the consequences, and what may happen next, he’s your man.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

What did you find to celebrate?

Sound view.

The good news is that, going forward, it will be much easier to teach the Dunning-Kruger effect to students.
