I’m glad I decided early on yesterday that I was going to get nothing done. I expected to read my book while keeping an eye on the certification vote. As is standard thee days, instead of reading my book I was scrolling through Twitter. As CNN was still on the speeches Twitter was reporting that … More Watching the Attack on the Capitol
I gave up on watching the results at 11 last night. I knew nothing would be decided so I might as well get some sleep. I was hoping for a little more clarity when I woke up this morning. It looks like it might be a few days before we know who is the next … More The Day After
Instead of a new election post, I’ve put together a list of past posts regarding elections. The last one goes all the way back to the first time Obama was elected. So, if you want to read old Tater thoughts on elections, here you go. I’m so ready to be done with political ads this … More A History of Election Posts

I had a nice long rant in my head in my car today. It won’t be nearly as good now that I’ve had time to decompress. I still feel the need for the rant. There will be profanity so I will start there. I’m sick and fucking tired of people clutching their pearls over the … More I’m Done: A Tater Rant
Me when you say you have an opinion on the report When you say you know what’s in the report without reading it. When you say we can trust the AG’s opinion on the report.
