Despite popular demand, I'm now on Twitter.
Think anything goes on TV these days? Think again.
All commentaries appeared originally in the Reporter Newspapers, which for the past 20 years have allowed me to advertise what a happening, with-it, totally 90s (1790s, that is) guy Mike Bates really is.
I appreciate feedback and can be reached at mikembatesATgmail.com (change "AT" to "@"). Compliments will be treasured, criticism ignored, and threats referred to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
Awards? Heck, yes we got some awards! We even have some. . .
