Temporary Lull
Yes, I know that the world continues to crumble around us, with bombs going off in Beirut and Paris and the Philippines; massive fires in Madrid and Tehran, floods killing hundreds in Pakistan, Venezuela and Colombia, a mine disaster in China, neo-Nazis marching in Dresden and Latino-American Nazis being sworn in, another $82 billion being flushed down Bush's war toilet, plus mall shootings, global warming, failed missile tests, North Korean nukes, blather and bluster about Iran, more blather and bluster about Social Security, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. A regular bonanza for the motivated blogger! And I am a motivated blogger, but my current motivations have to do with getting in shape, learning Spanish, and getting solar power in my house. That, combined with a fairly busy time at work, means that my blog output has declined. I feel kind of bad about that, especially since I've apparently gained several new readers lately, probably because Jonathan at A Tiny Revolution added this blog to his blogroll recently.
Still, my current motivations are leaning towards other things, so the output will probably stay on the low side for a while. Then again, almost every time I've read something like this on a blog, the lull lasted a very short time before the blogger came back stronger than ever. So we'll see. And when you come here and see nothing new for a while, remember that there are plenty of good places to go. For lots of info on the evil ways of our government, both those you have and those you haven't heard of, You Will Anyway does a great job of keeping up. For concise, witty commentary, Whatever It Is, I'm Against It is very good, as is A Tiny Revolution (also a good source of info about Social Security). Cyndy at Mousemusings has posts and links about local Ann Arbor stuff, along with all sorts of other interesting topics and some original poetry. If you like the cartoons, I get most of them from Slate. For interesting, provocative articles, I recommend the World Socialist Web Site and Counterpunch. Or just check out anything on my links page.
Anyway, thanks for tuning in--I'll probably be ramping up again shortly. But for now, I'm going to study a little more Spanish! ¡Hasta luego!
