I am a 30-year old stay-at-home dad with lots of time on my hands. I started this blog because I was getting fed up watching the talking heads on all of the news channels telling me what is wrong with the world, and getting it so wrong themselves. There are no easy answers, and if anyone can tell you in a 30-second sound-bite what is wrong and how to fix it, they are bullshitting you.
I have a wife of 7 years, named Ellie Wheater, and a 1 1/2 year old son, Li'l Keller. We live in suburban North Carolina, and are firmly entrenched in the middle class. I have a Master's Degree education, as does my wife, and demographically we are damn near average. I don't smoke, don't do illegal drugs, drink occassionally, and eat too much. I grew up in New England, am a die-hard Patriots fan, and still only feel like New England is my only true home, though I haven't lived there in 12 years.
Politically, I am a registered independant. I often vote for third party candidates, frequently Libertarians, though I find myself changing drastically as I get older. I have never identified with any platform of any political party (even the Libertarian Party), though I might describe myself as a radical centrist. All politicians lie all the time; the question is not who is telling the truth but whose shit are you willing to eat.
