You are reading the 1,500th post to American Rattlesnake, a project which began in the febrile imagination of my friend and colleague, Michel Evanchik. If you had told me in 2010 that over half a decade later this website would exist, let alone be flourishing, I would have scoffed.
Those of you who are regulars know how fond I am of hyperlinking useful information that illustrates a relevant point.

Yes, sadly true. Even on my own blog (started over a decade ago!), once in a while a link I made now only takes you to...the same article I wrote...the linked one is...’gone’......
We’ve been looking for a Donald Trump who would cut through the corruption and DARE enforce the law for a LONG Time.
A very long time.
