I’ve been on a bit of a posting hiatus lately. The day job has been busy, and my attention has been scattered. But I’ve gradually been piecing together drafts for posts, and will likely start posting regularly again soon. Hopefully on … Continue reading →

One down, 207 to go…

Posted on January 28, 2017 by hbreck

Donald Trump has been President of the United States for one week now. Just typing that feels strange. Like a different reality. I’ve been re-watching episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine lately, and I’ve recently gotten to one of … Continue reading →

Raiding the henhouse

Posted on January 18, 2017 by hbreck

Two years ago, I discussed the appointment of various climate change deniers to posts as heads of Senate committees in charge of science-based institutions. Those institutions are tasked with addressing (among other things) climate change. That was a perfect example of … Continue reading →

Politicizing Science

Posted on January 5, 2017 by hbreck

Now that science denial is coming back into (political) fashion, and indeed, an entire government is going to be built on lies and bad information, I feel like it’s now my duty to combat incorrect information as much as I … Continue reading →

Too soon, too soon!!!

Posted on December 22, 2016 by hbreck

So, earlier this week, the Electoral College met in each state and decided that a wealthy, racist landowner who lost the popular vote by around 3 million should become President. You know, as the Founders intended. Fine. That was always … Continue reading →

Flunking out of (Electoral) College

Posted on November 17, 2016 by hbreck

The people have spoken. It was close, it was messy, but by a narrow (yet clear) margin, the people chose Hillary Clinton as their next president. However, an outdated tool of racial oppression has overridden the will of the people. … Continue reading →

Yep, I’m voting for Hillary Clinton. You should, too.

Posted on November 8, 2016 by hbreck

So, I heard something interesting when reading/listening/watching the news over the last 18 or so months. Hillary Clinton isn’t perfect. I know, this is a shock. But I want to tell you something even more shocking. Ready? Brace yourself. It … Continue reading →

Running against the Establishment?

Posted on November 2, 2016 by hbreck

There’s no justice like angry mob justice

Posted on October 21, 2016 by hbreck

Some kids lose a game, and challenge their victorious opponents for a rematch. Some pout, take the ball, and go home. Some try to start a fight. And then there’s that big orange haired kid with the rich dad and … Continue reading →

Donald Trump Cannot Be President… and here’s why.

Posted on October 10, 2016 by hbreck
