Ahem
Consider this entry a clearing of my throat. It seems I have been rather quiet over the last few months… rather silly of me to build a nice little home like this and then never use it. I am reformed, starting today. I've updated my books page a bit and i'll post a few things shortly regarding some good things I've been reading and seeing and hearing as of late. Looking back over my most recent entries (which aren't recent at all anymore) I can't help noticing that my views on movies seem more prescient than my political soapbox rambling. The whole movement of Howard Dean from front-runner to “a small chance” saddens me. Like most people that dislike (to put it very mildly) GWB, I'll be voting for whatever other option I have, but I can't help thinking that we're missing a chance at having someone a bit more genuine in office by losing Dean. I don't even feel like getting into the media's complicity in making the “yell” into a big deal… it just goes to show that in this age of instant analysis, spin and twenty-four hour news that the media will create stories out of anything and then ride them to death. Blah. In any case, even with Edward's strong showing in South Carolina, the nomination at this point certainly seems like Kerry's to lose, and he's a seasoned enough politician to make that unlikely.
So now I'm off to edit the sidebar “mini-blog” which is so woefully out-of-date that it surpasses being embarrassing. More soon!
