     I've been looking for a reason to write something, anything, for some time now, but mostly I jot down a snazzy sentence and call it a day.  I'll be posting things here that I find interesting.  That's the only criteria, really, which may lead to an utterly disjointed mess.  Tough.  We're still nearly a year away from the 2008 election and it's already giving me an ulcer, so there's going to be some of that.  There will be personal grievances, internet tom-foolery, and perhaps occasionally an original thought--though I wouldn't hold my breath.  It will be small, faint, and perhaps poorly constructed but it will be significant in its own right.  At least that's what I think the Russians must have been telling themselves at the time...
