I haven’t been updating here much lately, for two reasons. One, I’ve been very busy. With good things, kids, good things. There are just other things that I want to spend my time on for right now.

The second reason is that I’m not sure what to say about the things that I’ve thinking about lately. I’ve used this space in the past to explain my political views. It’s easy to write about the things I believe strongly. But lately I’ve been disappointed in some the things that the current administration is doing. I’m not happy with Bush, and I don’t want Kerry. It’s like there is nowhere to turn anymore, and it’s hard to know where to start writing about that.

The constitutional amendment defining marriage is such a wrong-headed idea, it’s laughable. The changes to FCC rules and fines, along with the whole crack-down on broadcast “indecency” is frustrating because it is a blatant election-year over-reaction that is going to affect the kind of material I want to listen to and watch. Everything on the terrorism issue is getting twisted, and nothing’s getting better. The press and the Democrats are talking down the economy at every opportunity, just when I really need it to start getting better. Public officials can’t be counted on to enforce the laws we have, and they talk about creating more. And here in Pennsylvania, nothing good is getting done, politically. They raise one tax with the promise to lower another one to make up for it. They call it reform. Bullshit. I’ve seen this before, and somehow the offsetting tax “reform” never happens. I’m just frustrated.

We’ve started a culture war at home, when there is an actual war on which to concentrate. The Senate is trying to figure out how to stop people from saying “nigger” and “blowjob” on the radio. Meanwhile, a group of people in the Middle East is trying to figure out how to make us dead. Tell you what, I’ll give you Howard Stern and his network when you deliver Osama Bin Laden and his network.

Sorry folks, my life is a little upside-down right now, and it’s this site that suffers.
