Here at Nutmegger Daily we plan on having some ongoing projects. Basically, we will explore something for a period of time rather than in one post. This will allow us to share ideas differently. It can be thought of like a good television series vs. a movie. Neither is inherently superior, but they do different…
This site is a new venture started by Jamil Ragland and Gene Glotzer. We both enjoy writing as well as a free exchange of ideas. Our goal is to do those things in a public forum that will engage readers. We hope that people will visit our site to enjoy those things, too. We are…
Apparently, I’ve been living in a fantasy world lately. The fantasy that I want to share this time is quite unrealistic. It is like hoping that we elect a wise unicorn to the presidency. It simply cannot happen. So, if I were getting paid to philosophize, I’d call this a thought experiment. But, since no…
I have a fantasy every four years and I want to share it. It isn’t fantasy as in impossible. I don’t want to elect a wise unicorn to the presidency or anything like that. My fantasy is entirely possible, it just won’t ever happen. In a nutshell, my fantasy is for all of the people…
For some reason, many (not all) people are either unable or unwilling to see the sexism being directed at Hillary Clinton this primary season. I know I’ve been going on about this, but I thought I’d give it one more try. But, this time I’m going to go about it differently. I’m going to provide…
I wasn’t going to comment on this. When I saw on the news on Thursday that Bernie Sanders had said that Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president, I was going to ignore it. I was sure about a million other people would talk about it, so why add my voice? Plus, I’m completely…
There are rats in New York City. That probably doesn’t surprise anyone. In fact, there are lots and lots of rats. Estimates range from 2-10 million rats. Even on the low end, 2 million rats is a lot of rats. There are also people in New York City. This, again, probably doesn’t surprise anyone. In…
I have been an avid, some might say obsessive, music fan for as long as I can remember. As a result, I have a much bigger collection of music than anyone with as little money as I have had should have. Recently, I decided to start cataloging my collection. It’s in pretty rough shape after…
Bernie Sanders wants to be President of the United States. He also wants to start a “revolution” against the “billionaire class.” Unfortunately for him, these are incompatible goals. In fact, Bernie’s ascent to the Oval Office would be about the worst thing that could happen to his revolution. This is something I’ve been feeling for…
When the Democratic results on Super Tuesday came in, I felt relieved. I wasn’t expecting that reaction. I thought I was undecided, but I guess I’m undecided no longer. I was a little nervous that Bernie Sanders would upset Clinton and I felt better about things when it became clear that Clinton would take the…
