About Kat The Wonk
The niftiest nerd you’ll ever know, I have a lifelong love of politics, polemics, history, literature, philosophy, world religions, Christian theology, and cult classics like Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (the books not the movie), Princess Bride and Monte Python. I’ll even wonk out in math and the sciences on occasion. I especially like to find parallels in surprising places… and write about them. When I write about them, I like to find delightfully clever ways to say whatever it is I have to say on any subject. Because the written word is delightful!
So please join in with a comment or two as I explore all sorts of subjects!
The World is more Wonderful when you Wonk with me.

I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.”
