    The Boogeyman Went Down to Texas

    The contemporary Boogeyman is much more horrifying and dangerous, and we all know what’s going to happen when he enters a child’s life.

    Wow. They’re Even Dumber – or Crueler – Than We Thought.

    Republicans have lost their ability to shock, but the depths of their aggressive ignorance can still surprise.

    ND GOP Sinks Head Deeper Into Proverbial Coal… er, um… Sand

    Instead of getting ahead of clean opportunities, North Dakota’s GOP is clinging to a dirty past. The state’s citizens will wind up paying the price.

    Graphic - Ordained Dudeist Priest

    From getting married to getting buried, I gotchya covered, man!

    I am an introvert, which means more, and less, than you think.
    Here's a great definition from Introvert, Dear.

    IV Words Founder Martin C. Fredricks IV

    Martin C. “Red” Fredricks IV here. I’m husband to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, dad to three outstanding kids, climate crisis warrior, environmentalist, rabble-rouser, sayer of things people don't want to hear, proud introvert and big-time reader. A ginger, too - ergo the "Red" - although some of it's going white. Cinnamon-sugar, I call it. Tattooed to boot; seven so far; like 'em or not, I don't much care.
