I missed posting after the election; decided greater bloggers than me can say the words, allay the fears, hold out the olive branches. Too much going on. I DID post one night, but was so sleepy and stupid I hit the X box, and well. Blog post gone. All gone.
Almost closed this puppy down, too. I realized I'll never be one of the great bloggers, and whenever I tackle something new, I want to be good, with excellent a real possiblity.
This time, however, we're dealing with the entire PLANET. That's not quite the same thing as having the fastest pitching arm in your state or region, or being the best surfer on your block, in your part of town. We're talking college-educated world travelers among the Americans, and people who, much like me and the Florida voting scandal of 2000, know the REAL story better because I'm THERE, see it for myself, etc., only they're natives of whatever country is being focused on. I'm humbled a little at the amount I learn by reading blogs.
I'll accept the role of occasional ribald observer and commentator on the human condition, unabashed hardcore, old-fashioned "America, Love It or Get Your Skanky Ass OUT" Conservative, Madman Sans Portfolio.
I shall also endeavor, with time and experience, to attain the status of "Upper Lower Class".

Then again, Arn, you might turn out to be the right wing's answer to Garrison Keillor, a liberal I didn't start to dislike until he began dissing his fellow Minnesotan, (ex-)Governor Jesse Ventura. Watching you kick Keillor's lily-livered ass on your blog would be a pleasure.

By the way, I second what you said about learning so much from reading blogs. Holy shit, there's a lot of knowledge out there. I'm routinely humbled by the people who populate my sidebar.

Don't give up yet! Although blogs aren't supposed to be these academic resources most come across with a wealth of information, your blog included. I will be wary of using a blog as a reference in my papers, however.
