After nearly 35 years of teaching political science, research methods, and applied statistics at the University of Delaware, I retired to Vermont where I contemplate nature and the world of politics.

My site attempts to analyze politics, government, and public policy from a reasonably progressive stance. “Progressive,” of course, suggests  liberal.  But I try to look at issues in an honest, non-dogmatic way and am never adverse to admitting when I’m wrong. In fact, I often prefer discussing politics and social science with those who disagree with me.  The key is a rational discussion free of invective, sweet generalities, sloganeering, and totally unsubstantiated or impossible to substantiate claims. Notice, for example, the site contains many non-rhetorical questions that I hope others will take seriously.

Please look at the right sidebar for posts, links, and other goodies.
