Welcome to “State of the Day,” where I strip euphemism and misdirection off national news.

And who am I?

I was once a Marine, a traveler, brawler, prayer, now a writer and a father, some would say a leader, at one point in my life people even called me the “pirate king.”

That would have been when I headed up this merry band of misfit toys at the Caller, but even those days are behind me now.

Between us, Dear Reader, I’m just a guy standing outside with a sack full of (rhetorical) grenades.

Sign up and we can throw a few together!
