The Wrongologist

Nothing’s
Wrong Today:

Sometime in the next few days, The
Wrongologist Blog will pass twenty five thousand hits.

The Wrongologist has been blogging for
about 18 months and if you had said at the start that the blog would reach 25K
hits, he would have been amazed.

It’s a small blog, with a small readership. There
are blogs that get a million hits per day. That isn’t the Wrongologist blog.

The Wrongologist is not doing this to make money,
but because he is an opinionated person. He could add advertising, but thinks
that it draws attention away from the hard work of reading the words.

The Wrongologist is now going to step
out of speaking in the third person and speak from the heart:

This blog is an extension of my education about politics,
economics and American history, my experience in the business world and my antipathy for dissembling, mendacious
politicians. I lean to the left of center politically, but I work hard
to be an equal opportunity scold. I poke holes in the positions of doctrinaire
politicians who would rather tell us the talking points (once again) than to
tell the truth or explain clearly the logical result of the policy decisions
they support.

That will always be wrong in my book.

I have heard from some that the blog
is not always an easy read and
that some posts may be too long for many of today’s attention spans. I try to
distill complex issues to as near to their essence as I can, but we live in a complicated
world where the details of policy and politics really matter.

I hope that many more of you will begin to leave comments. They help me and they also help the
other readers understand the issues at hand.   

I’ve learned a ton since I started writing the blog in March,
2011 and hopefully, some of you have learned a few things as well. Researching
issues that I address takes time and I try hard to be
accurate in what I post. If you have
detected errors, I apologize for that.

Anyway, nearing 25,000 hits seems like a good time to take a
moment and give thanks to those who follow the Wrongologist blog. I really
appreciate it. If you enjoy the Wrongologist, please tell a friend about it.

I’d like to recognize Monty, Fred and
David for their early and continuing support of the blog.

Please give to your local food bank.

Happy Thanksgiving to all…and you’re welcome!
