You'll get emails whenever I post articles on OpEd News

In late 2008, I started the blog Unsilent Generation, which I call "a site for pissed-off progressive old folks (and future old folks)...because we're not dead yet." I follow the health care battle, report a good deal on prisons (where increasing numbers of older people are locked up),and general news from the perspective of an older person, a child of the Great Depression and a member of the so-called Silent Generation. (I also write about old dogs). I am a journalist with 45 years experience covering U.S. and international politics for publications from the New Republic to the Village Voice, and am currently senior Washington correspondent for Mother Jones.
