Various thoughts on current events with an emphasis on politics, legal issues, books, movies and whatever is on my mind. Emails can be sent to almostsanejoe@aol.com; please put "blog comments" in the subject line.
On balance, I have found customer service on the phone to be helpful and polite, though at times they do try to sell me something. A recent a-hole was thankfully an exception. This sort of thing is appreciated.
