Welcome to J. Newton Numbskull's Ramblings

J. Newton Numbskull is an average guy, born and raised in the Greater Kansas City area, now middle aged and nestled comfortably in a KC suburb.

J. Newton works in management for a national company and has past experience with local politics and government, both of which helped to develop the unique perspective he brings to local news and events.

As for politics, J. Newton doesn't lean strongly in either direction, and probably shares what would be labeled a "populist" viewpoint. From a financial perspective he abhors the misappropriation and waste of tax dollars that politicians seem to live for. Socially he believes that people should be allowed to do pretty much what they wish, at least in relation to their own bodies, relationships, hobbies and pursuits.

For those interested, "J. Newton Numbskull" was a character portrayed by Red Skelton in the 1946 film Ziegfield Follies. He just likes the name and thought it was an appropriate nom de plume for the commentary that yet another blog brings to the internet.
