The Oscar Leeser Political Faction
It is no secret that I am highly critical of the Veronica Escobar led public policy agenda currently in place.

All of These Years I Have Been A Fool
I have been completely wrong! This morning I realized that I have been wrong about the ballpark, and everything else. What’s even worse is that I have been wrong about Susie Byrd, Beto O’Rourke, Steve Ortega, and Joyce Wilson. As if that wasn’t enough, I have been wrong about Foster and Hunt. Oh, and I […]
