President Elect Not disclosing his tax returns. The American people still have no way to judge the degree to which his freedom of action may be compromised by his dealings with agents of foreign countries. Ditching media, even the protective pool, who serve as the eyes and ears of the American people. Threatening media for…

Here below are references for helping make sense of what happened on November 8 and for what we can do to protect America from the damage of a Trump presidency.

Over the last several weeks, I’ve learned that the press is annoyed with Secretary Clinton for not holding a press conference. It’s (no surprise) being held up as a failing of the presidential candidate. It’s true I am a happy and enthusiastic Clinton supporter, but nonetheless, I have seen the candidate frequently on national news…

I find it hard to believe I wrote the post “The Mask Comes Off: Corporate Implications When Your Senior Recruiter is a Bigot” over a month ago. There are a few relevant developments since then. About the Corporate Implications of Having a Bigot as a Recruiter In discussing the corporate implications of having a bigot on…

So Mike… I’m going to start by assuming that you respect me, based on our interactions together while working at PNNL. If not, well, then none of what follows will matter and you can probably just stop reading now. You posted on my facebook page sentiments about Secretary Clinton that others have expressed as well…

Every time I see someone post that my generation sold out the future, it makes me sad. Why do people think things were better when we were their age? College tuition quadrupled? Global warming? Housing market destroyed? I just checked – my college costs within $1,000 now what it cost when I attended school,…

I owe a debt of gratitude to one of my twitter friends. He supports Sanders, I support Clinton. I asked him why he supported Sanders and why he doesn’t support Clinton. With the exception of my lovely neighbors at the Washington State Democratic caucus, this topic of discussion has generally not gone well. So my…

I think Seahawks fans have an opportunity — and responsibility — to do more to help the Seahawks be successful. Have you ever seen Pete Carroll chewing out a player after a bad play? No. Or, at least rarely. Officials? Heck yes. Players? No. There’s a reason for that and it’s connected to why the…
