Seek and you shall find.
I started blogging in the late 1990s with a home page that I dubbed Liberty Corner (reconstructed here). I maintained the home page until 2000. When the urge to resume blogging became irresistible in 2004, I created the Blogspot version of Liberty Corner, where I blogged until May 2008.
My weariness with “serious” blogging led to the creation of Americana, Etc., “A blog about baseball, history, humor, language, literature, movies, music, nature, nostalgia, philosophy, psychology, and other (mostly) apolitical subjects”. I posted there sporadically from July 2008 until September 2013.
But I couldn’t resist commenting on political, economic, and social issues, so I established Politics & Prosperity in February 2009. My substantive outpourings ebbed and flowed until March 2019, when I hit a wall.
I then started blogging at Realities, in an attempt to focus on short, punchy posts, and to substitute quantity for length. That’s the way I started, but it’s not in my nature to say a little bit when there’s a lot to be said. So I resumed blogging at Politics & Prosperity, and brought back with me all of the posts that I had published at Realities from April to August 2019.
My blogging stint at Politics & Prosperity finally ended in June 2022. In July 2022 I decided to republish old P&P posts at Substack, using the moniker Loquitur’s Letter. (My nom de guerre, Loquitur Veritatem is Latin for truth-teller.) I have since begun to mix new posts with the old ones.
I have published about 4,000 posts at my various blogs. There’s a page at Politics & Prosperity — “Favorite Posts” — which provides links to what I consider to be the best of the posts I published at P&P and the other blogs mentioned above.
What follows is a complete index of the posts I’ve published at Loquitur’s Letter. Some posts are assigned to more than one category. The series “Not-So-Random Thoughts” defies categorization, so I will link to entries here: I, II, III.
