2009 & Beyond

As is apparent by looking at this blog (that is, if anyone ever looks at it), I have taken a hiatus from blogging for over a year. To be honest, the ridiculous length of the presidential election cycle completely wore on me and made it difficult for me to rant, although there was plenty to rant (and rave) about over the past year. The election of Barack Obama obviously was not something I had hoped for, although it did not surprise me. What did surprise me was the utter failure of the main stream media to vet this man, as well as the MSM's resistance to point out where the Democrats have been wrong and fallen short of their 2006 election promises for the past two years...wait, everything is still George Bush's fault for 6 more days. I was also surprised, and a bit saddened, that "We the Sheeple" of America could so blindly support (and elect) a man who so eloquently said absolutely nothing of substance. But, he was running against John McCain, not a favorite of mine, and the latest example of the Republicans' sacrificial lambs.
All of that said, I am going to try to get back in the blogging groove for 2009 (and beyond) and I hope to have something thought provoking to pass on to anyone who bothers to check this site out. Stay tuned.
