Alton Brown actually has a rants page with some interesting political commentary. Curiously, in spite of being "Powered by Blogger" it has no permalinks. No visible, clickable, bookmarkable permalinks, anyway. It does still have named anchors for the individual postings but you have to view source to see them. I don't know how permanent they are, but in any case the title of this posting contains a link to one of them so you can try it out.

I have now come to fear people wearing TSA badges almost as much as the bullies who used to torture me in grade school. Why? Because they can do anything their small, mean minds want to and there’s nothing you or I can do about it.
