it's been even longer since i returned to my chronicles of political betrayal this time.  i know, i know, no one gives a damn what i have to say anyway, but i guess i could attempt something productive on the internet again.

it's  not that i have any sense that this blog was read by movers or shakers (though shakers do have a history of believing in peaceful behavior) but it did give me an outlet for frustration at the headlines of the day at a time when those headlines were exhausting.  looking at the postings and the compilation, i am rather proud of the of the years that i regularly posted. 

to be honest, blogging became exhausting.  it is much easier to just point and click on facebook or twitter.  it is immediate gratification.  it does not, however, allow you to have a narrative.  this blog had a narrative.

i am not sure i can pick up the story because the characters have changed and the news is now very digital.  when i first started this compilation, the drudge report had just begun to be player for media attention.  now things are much, much different. 

just a note to myself.  i should start paying attention and mapping out the news to make sense of it again.  maybe tomorrow.
