Stonekettle

Hello, I'm Jim Wright. I am a writer and humorist and for the last ten years I've maintained the blog Stonekettle Station and a number of associated sites on social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Typically I write about politics, thus the humor part. Sometimes I write about cats, which is a lot like writing about politicians. Oh, and I'm also an artist and woodworker. <br><br>Over the last ten years I've been working to carve out a new way of doing what I do, leveraging social media instead of the more traditional means of publishing political commentary -- and it seems to be working. While I strongly believe the traditional methods (books, news, magazines, etc) still very much have an important place in our world and provide a very necessary structure, this newer social media model allows me to examine the increasingly bizarre political landscape free of larger agendas and traditional restrictions. <br><br>Now, while gnawing hunger often provides intense motivation to a writer, I do better work if I can afford to pay the mortgage and buy groceries once in awhile. I don't charge for access to my online essays, humor pieces, and other materials, so voluntary donations from readers like you are what keep me going.
