    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, The Insufferable Braculator models NCAA Women’s basketball, chapter 2: Concerning chalk 1 year, 9 months ago

    Pull up a seat, it’s time for a chalk talk. We’re down to the Final Four and the Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, 2019 edition, has been… very predictable. In fact, the current leader among all of our […]

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, The Insufferable Braculator™ Strikes Again 1 year, 10 months ago

    We’re in it now, the most wonderful time of the year.1 Our national mania (the fun one). The mayhem of selection Monday. The mastication of mashed potatoes and machinations of mendacious Machiavellian masketmall […]

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, Who’s it gonna be? Who will you back early for President in 2020? 1 year, 11 months ago

    Not bad, Resistance. Voters have rejected the Trump agenda and the deconstruction of  American democracy seems to have stalled, for now. You might say it hit a wall.1 Now it’s time to pick yourself up, dust […]

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, What is the harm in privatizing the surveillance state? 1 year, 12 months ago

    Big Tech makes a mountain of money by collecting as much personal data about as many people as possible.
    Mainly, this surveillance is used to identify the personal habits of people and sell them as much as […]

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, The After-Math: A midterm election post-count-em post 2 years ago

    Time flies. It’s more than a month since the election, and we’ve had a chance to recover a bit from the national stomach flu otherwise known as the 2018 campaign. It’s time to reflect on what worked and what […]

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, Backpackers’ Bistro: grub & gear for the backwoods gourmand 2 years, 1 month ago

    Camping food can be good.
    And after a 12 mile hike, a good meal tastes great!  You don’t have to have a chuckwagon, running water, a turkey fryer, and 3 sherpas hauling the 8-quart cast-iron dutch ovens (and the […]

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, Big tech took on fake news – so how’s that going? 2 years, 2 months ago

    Fake news is used to misinform, and misinformation is dangerous. It is a threat to the ideals of legitimate government because we hold that legitimate governments derive “their just powers from the consent of the […]

    Get the feeling that not everything you’re hearing about the election is quite what it seems?

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, Lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court got you down? Focus on winning elections 2 years, 3 months ago

    The only thing we have to fear is acquiescence.
    Action must be the reaction to last week’s exhibition of raw contempt for the American people by the gerontocracy, and that action must be the vote. While the […]

    Hey, “likely voter,” it’s time to tune in, turn on, and turn out….the vote!1

    Remember the last time you were feeling this giddy about an election?
    All the polls pointed to victory and there was talk of a blue shift in the electoral map. Talk turned into money spent and days campaigned in […]

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, Bracketeering: Much ado about nothing or A tale of four regions 2 years, 9 months ago

    Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of brackets. April is the month when trash talk ends and the cold reality of reversion to the mean takes hold. In the end, the Infallible Brackulator […]

    And here we are, after all the sound and fury of the opening rounds, left with some unlikely players, statistically significant of nothing, squaring off against the usual suspects. Despite an upset for the ages,1 […]

    Before the nets come down, the brackets must go up!
    And soon: the final play-in games have just ended, and tomorrow the big dance begins. More importantly, I only had until 10:00pm Pacific to put my money where […]

    Rich Sharp wrote a new post, Booze or women or movies? The avg American could save their whole life and never be worthy to Mr. Grassley (or qualify for the estate tax) 3 years, 1 month ago

    Wealth has a way of justifying itself. Once someone has a lot of it, it tends to become evidence of its own deservedness.
