FAQ (if you send me questions I’ll try to answer them here)

Q: What are those links at the bottom of some posts?

A: I try to include links for further reading, or to cite sources/references. I know most blogs don’t do this, but I think it is only fair.

Q: Why are you doing this blog?

A: Two reasons: first, I kept seeing funny or ironic political news articles. I started saving them for myself, so I thought it would not be too much harder to just put them into a blog to share them with others. Second, in an era where The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has become a primary source of news, it seems like humor is a very good way to both deal with politics and to report on it. I’m not sure why there are not already many other blogs like this. I’d welcome them (and put them into my Links list).

Q: What are your politics?

A: I tend to be a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. But there are a few exceptions to that (for example, I am strongly in favor of a single payer health insurance system, but mainly because I’ve lived in several countries that have them and have seen the benefits firsthand).
