My new blog

Like a million people I've decided to start a blog. I'm not sure why. I think it is because I'm slightly anti-social (in a non-dangerous way) and this is a good medium for actually discussing issues I like and care about. Some folks suggested I would be good at it. We'll see.

Blog's namesake is Tamerlane. If you don't know who he is, do yourself a favor and read about him. He's a badass.

About me. I work in public affairs...I'm a lobbyist. I lobby for health insurance companies and I love it. Feel free to sling a few arrows if that offends you. I don't offend easily. I'm married to a beautiful, wonderful woman. I've got no kids (otherwise I would not have a blog). I like to use parentheses a lot (like Ted L. Nancy). I'll post about politics, economics, finance, cars (I consider them art), poker, sports, wine, cooking, food, music, travel (we travel a lot), military history, things I find absurd, gloablization, foreign affairs, MMA, and other random stuff. I swear like a sailor. I'm good at Guitar Hero. I can beat anyone in the world at Tecmo Super Bowl. I know Pi to 100 decimals. I have nine brothers and sisters. I'm a voracious reader.
