About

The primary foci of BackbenchMedia.com are economic and political issues, along with whatever is being talked about in the media. This blog is a new undertaking and hopefully it will be not only informative but also interesting and fun. I bring no professional qualifications which would give authority to the opinions expressed on my posts; and if you have an opinion that is different from mine please feel free to comment. In fact, intelligent comments of any stripe are not only welcomed but are begged for. Maybe between you, me and the other readers; we can sort this stuff out. Email me with any questions or concerns at  backbenchmedia@gmail.com. Jim Diedrick
