About the Blog

I started blogging in 1998 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. The blog is still there, but I have republished most of the posts here.

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.

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. Everything that I posted at Substack is available here.

I have since 1998 published more that 4,000 posts at my various blogs. Links to the substantive ones (more than 3,000) can be found at the Index page.
