This is an introduction to a mini-series of posts (Quacks) here. I believe I have a lot to offer and this is how I am choosing to effectively document some of my knowledge, in essence I am “enjoying my convalescence”. These posts are also being posted at LameDuckQuacks.com and submitted as articles to The People’s Paper.
Please know, I realize, at some level no one really cares what I have to say – but the flip side is maybe what I say can be of help to someone trying to understand the world of politics a bit more.
