View from the Cheap Seats: Concern. Sadness. Mourning. Next Steps…

By Paul S. January 11, 2021 January 10, 2021

I was getting ready to write this long piece about how the last few days’ events have affected me and my beloved. I was sitting down to type on this chilly Sunday afternoon in Texas when I logged in, saw that Chris had already written something so much better than …

View From the Cheap Seats – My Naiveté

By Paul S. October 23, 2020 October 23, 2020

I knew I shouldn’t have done it. I knew it was a mistake. My wife, we’ll call her “Eve”, told me to check out this post on Nextdoor. She told me that this serpent fellow told her that it would be ok to read a Nextdoor post. As usual, the …

View From the Cheap Seats – Who am I and how did I get here?

By Paul S. July 15, 2020 July 15, 2020

I called this “View From the Cheap Seats” because I am not going to be as intellectual or as well researched as others who have posted here. I am just a slightly upper-middle-class married white guy with two grown children who has been left by the GOP and no longer recognizes his world.
