Plus what’s with these posts requiring a password? I would blame those on the death of privacy in some ways. They’re not incriminating or anything really awful, we just live in an over-cautious, over-reacting, heavily-handed PC world.
Quick aside: Contrary to the stereotype of Liberals, I for one am against Politically Correct (PC) tactics to shut down any speech. One person said it best, PC is the Left using the Right’s strategy to eliminate things they’re uncomfortable with. For example, the stars and bars flying at a state capital or being on license plates, not appropriate because that’s a government endorsement for a flag used by domestic terrorists. Someone wearing a t-shirt with the symbol, waving around the flag and painting it on their car…knock yourself out. I still don’t care for it yet I’m with Bill Maher’s joke, “Hey, you’re just telling the cops the meth is in your car’s trunk.” My point? If those angry people want to brandish the Dixie flag (it’s not really the Confederate flag) in OKC during the president’s visit, let them. Obama is a big boy, he has thicker skin than most people and the only people being “hurt” are the flag-bearers themselves; the civilized world sees them for what they are, bigoted sore losers.
OK, it wasn’t a quick aside…humor me. I just took several posts out from “easy view” to practice things on my site and maybe find something to reward the actual readers/friends I might have. You know, like those extra tracks CDs used to include so you’d buy the more expensive format over tapes or vinyl.
I also took time off, ignoring the site while I’ve been taking it easy and recuperating. Many good and sad things occurred too. I decided to spend a little time today writing before I let them get away from me, namely the ones which are too awesome to slip into complete irrelevancy.
Will things get back on to a more regular flow? Eventually. For now, enjoy this upcoming blitz of stories, reviews, obits and news. I’m hoping better things in the near future.
