LOOOONG BREAK....

Ok, I need to slap down suspicions that the break in the blog posts is due to my defection of the party and then hiking on the Appalachian trail, preparing my "bullet box", and electing 40-year-old white supremacists to lead my "young" coalition. Actually, it was more because of my computer's hard drive being severely bugged up and preparing for an outside arrangement for a month that I was gone. As is already clear, I have missed many things since I last left: Obama's Cairo speech, Obama's torture speech, Obama's healthcare speech, the Twitter Iranian revolution, Al Franken's saga to the Senate, Sanford's non-resignation and Palin's real one, strange right-wing violence, the All-Star game, Lance Armstrong, the health care "oh noes!" because of that...that...socialist, Emmy nominations, and Goldman playing the fiddle while America burns, and the deaths at 50 of Michael Jackson and Billy Mays. I have so much more so I'll be blazing away posting all that stuff I should have posted. In the words of Jack Black, I will see you cats on the flip flop later!"
