Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

A Serious Blog Birthday Note from The Editor

A hearty welcome to readers who have been kindly linked over to Maggie's by friendly blogs this week.

A twelve-second perusal of
Maggie's Farm will make it clear
that our approach to blogging is to follow our noses. It is not possible to categorize us, other than as "eclectic."  That's the goal.

To get corny about it, the amazing variety of stuff that life in this astonishing Creation presents to us is our beat, limited of course by time, as we all have plenty of responsibilities: herding sheep, flushing pheasants, being cuddly lapdogs, etc. However, no doubt our "traditionalist, centrist" approach to issues comes through loud and strong.

If you are a new or recently-new reader, click a category to get a sense of the variety of game we fetch for you, every day, for free.
