As many of y’all know, I’m the About.com Guide to Civil Liberties. So you might be asking yourself: What kind of stuff have I been writing lately? Well, right now I’m working on a piece dealing with today’s New Jersey marriage law/civil unions ruling–but here’s some other stuff I’ve written…
If there’s sufficient interest, I might make this a semiweekly feature. Meanwhile, here’s a sample of what I’ve been up to:

Bump. I’m not usually into the whole blatant self-promotion thing, but some of this stuff is pretty good–if I do say so myself. Cheers, TH
