...but I've been on the front page a few times here, mostly because I have a big mouth.

Most recently, and unexpectedly, when I picked up a piece in the Chicago Tribune explaining why Joe Biden was not Presidential:

Chicago Tribune: Joe Biden Isn't Behaving Presidentially.

I managed a few other times.

I even once managed to be on the front page at Daily Kos when I wrote about my (then) eight year son.

My Eight Year Old and I Had a Chat Tonight.

This was surprising. (That boy is now completing his education as a Materials Science Engineer, a pretty good one, I think.)

Later in my tenure there, I was banned for telling the truth. One may think - and probably be correct - that it's difficult to get banned at a liberal website for telling the truth, but I managed it.

They actually don't seem to appreciate science all that much over there.

They're much, much, much better here at tolerating me. I'm not an easy guy.

Thanks for your kind words.
