Back To Blogging
December 3rd, 2008
Hopefully my few readers have not given up on me. There has been a brief hiatus from blogging tied into the Thanksgiving holiday, and being very busy at work. Regular posting will resume now. I have a couple of book reviews to work on, and have some thoughts about Obama’s cabinet picks and such. I have completed Hemingway’s great A Farewell to Arms, and will review it in the next few days. The order of the reading list has been officially thrown overboard. Reading something from the list, that interested me was more important than strictly adhering to the order, which had been my previous intention.
There has been an intentional avoidance, on my part, of all things political for the last couple of weeks. The election is over, and we our all waiting to see what President Obama is going to do. Hopefully my assumptions about him will be proven wrong, and all will be well. This is doubtful based on his history, but we shall see.
There is also almost a feeling of ‘post-politicism’ within me. This is no doubt just an internal valve being turned down, so that my soul will survive all that has gone wrong in the last few months for those of us that oppose higher taxes, and more nanny government. Having lost the first election that I really cared about, I find myself wanting to ignore the whole mess. President Bush’s two elections were the first that I participated in, and having won both of them, this new defeat was quite a shock. As a country-loving American my feelings are not sustainable, so surely this disgust at the whole prospect will fade soon. It could be a couple of months, or five minutes. Time will tell.
