Welcome!

Jeff McAleerWelcome to those who believe in thinking for themselves, asking hard questions, and challenging the status quo!

I’ve been an ardent blogger and podcaster since 2005 sharing my thoughts and opinions on just about every subject under the sun. I happen to be a liberally minded individual who has absolutely no qualms (nor fears) regarding voicing and publishing my views - that's what A Mind Forever Wandering has always been about. For more than four and a half years I wrote (and also recorded over 260 podcasts) about politics, social issues, and just about any other subject that popped into my head.

I know Dan Brown followers haven’t clued into this yet and neither have those wrapped up in Twilight mania. No matter how many young tweens and teens (and is it me or am [...]

Review: The Wordy Shipmates

I’ll be honest, I have a major crush on Sarah Vowell. She’s cute, she’s smart, she’s funny, she’s quirky, she always has great pieces on NPR’s This American Life – and she’s a history nerd to boot! I’ve read every one of her books, and loved each one of them!

The Wordy Shipmates is no exception. [...]
