That's the plan. I want to write the best daily column on politics in America and rewrite the rules on how to do this in the social media era of journalism. The format is based actually on Peter Gammons's baseball column in the Boston Globe, which I grew up reading. I thought about taking everything I see every day across a big number of platforms and putting into a similar format as Peter's, which was fast paced, long, and packed with information and facts, but also rumors, opinion and some humor. Hopefully, it is different than anything else out there - I think it is - because there is nothing I hate more than being unoriginal.

Ron, your daily column is BY FAR the best fast-paced, just long enough, info/rumor/opinion/humor packed daily read PERIOD. Bar none. Meidas Mighty!

I think it's great and truly a One-Stop shop for getting a distilled down non-biased reiteration summary of every crazy thing these people are doing everyday

As a longtime newspaper editor, I’m not a huge fan of the 3-dot column format, but you’re doing it well and as it should be. Keep it up, and if the period key wears out, use round bullets.

Ron, now that I see you are reading comments I have a chance to say this one more time and at least I know you will see it.

Offer a subscription for $15 a month.

I only subscribe for $10 a month, I probably will not do $20 and above, but I would do $15.

It is a way to earn a little bit extra of revenue.

When I signed up if I remember right it was $10, $25, +
