	<title>Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent &#187; Only Slightly Bitter</title>
	<atom:link href="http://www.scottbradford.us/nav/literature/poetry/only-slightly-bitter/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />

	<description>Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.</description>
