Historian. Author. Professor. Budding Curmudgeon. I study the contrast between image and reality in America, especially in politics.

Cat-loving, liberal, constantly reading, jewelry making lesbian. If I can make you laugh, it makes me happy! Inappropriate humor is my coping mechanism. I live off-grid in northern Arizona with my beautiful and patient spouse of 11 years and our two cats.
