Milt Shook

Just a regular guy with a big mouth and a curious mind...

I'm just a "regular guy" who likes to read and write facts. I don't expect anyone to believe everything I say, and I challenge all to check my work. I'm not a journalist, although I have journalistic training, having written many newspaper and magazine articles over the years.

I am a single parent of a great young man who is now 19 years old, and has just been deployed to Afghanistan with the US Army. I have worked for the last 13 years as a paralegal and a research specialist, and I am currently Director of Investigation & Analysis, and Senior Analyst with a start-up company engaged in intellectual property enforcement. I ghostwrite content for several blogs, I've ghostwritten a biography, and I have written many magazine and newspaper articles, both under my own name and as a ghostwriter. I am a lifelong activist, and have played many roles in many political campaigns since I was in my teens. I am a lifelong Democrat, because I believe to be a progressive, you have to make progress. In a democracy, that means working within the system, not shouting from outside the system.

I have also written a novel, Talent on Loan, which can be purchased by clicking the link on the top right, just below my complete article deconstructing the right wing lies on the health care bill. The novel is good, and for every purchase from me, $2 goes to progressive candidates through ActBlue. And I'll autograph it for you, as well. (Be patient; I ran out of books, so it may take me a couple of weeks to get a new one to you...)

By the way, if you like what I write, feel free to throw a few bucks to me by clicking on the "Help Us" link. I basically do this for free...

Thanks for reading...

But don't be so obsessed with who a person is. Check their facts. Don't trust anyone based on what they tell you about themselves; look at what they say, and check it out.
