Dispatch from the Front Line: Go home, politicians. Rest up. And maybe just stay there.

None of these people are bringing us joy.

Hello, dear readers. We will get into the dispatch in a moment, but we just wanted to let you know a bit about what we are planning. Our podcast and videos have wrapped for the year, but we do plan one more dispatch, probably next Friday. We will publish at a reasonably normal schedule this week. But then we are going to take the week of Christmas off. The first week of the new year will feature what we hope will be our new annual series about things we are grateful for and that bring us hope for the year ahead.

Change of pace, right?

But for now, let’s get to the dispatch.

Starting with our latest video!
