I'm a conservative, Republican blogger with a libertarian bent.  I live in flyover country, in a small town in southwest Missouri and that perspective definitely gives a different color to my politics compared to city dwellers. 

Professionally, I'm a licensed real estate agent, consultant, manager and cook.  Yes, cook.  I'm interested in finance, real estate, food, health, wine, beer, cars (especially small British sport cars and high efficiency cars) and technology.
