We're Back
After a long absence, I've decided to start blogging again.
For a while, it seemed that everything that needed to be said was being said, but now that the 2006 election is over, the big blogs seem to have lost focus.
I'm going to be trying to do shorter posts — which should take less of my time — and I plan to focus (for a while) on what the Freepers are up to. Their slide into irrelevance has taken comical proportions as even large chunks of the decepto-con base have abandoned the neo-clown fantasy world.
A hearty "welcome back" to the three or four people who actually read this blog.

We're Back
Now that the tide is turning, we're going to try and keep up again. We stopped blogging when we became an echo chamber for the Progressives. We'll try to not do that, and we'll try to remain critical of all bad government, not just GOP activity.
That being said, we're still elated that the "Red Tide" has receeded and hope that the Dems. can start fixing things for the Middle Class and the Poor. I just hope it's not too late.

What Else Can We Say
If you've visited SJR in the last few days, you've been greeted with a blank blog, flanked by Tom Delay's mugshot — but what else can we add?
For several years, it has been up to the left wing blogs to ferret out and distribute reality-based information to counter the blaring propaganda machine serving our Culture of Corruption. Now, the tide is turning. We don't need to close up shop, but right now, there's not much more to do than sit back and watch the Republican train wreck.
Earlier today, I was browsing Free Republic, looking for lies to respond to. Oh, there were plenty, but they were tinfoil-hat quality rantings, for the most part. The newest topic, the so-called "Scalito" nomination, had provided occaision for two different calls to "Freep this poll." Freepers try to affect web polls by flocking to them. In the past, they've managed to succeed in making the non-scientific web polls skew significantly right of the general population. Not anymore.
The CNN Poll shows twice as many people opposing Alito as supporting him. If the polled was "Freeped," it didn't affect that score over the few hours I followed it.
The MSNBC Poll has actually gone from 64/36 against to 65/35 against as I've watched it.
The word "Freep," to me, has always sounded like it should be "creep (as in creepy person) with little substance." I guess it finally does. It's too early to declare victory, but there is cause for hope that the more dire predictions about America may not hold.
