When I started this blog, I thought I’d have more to say about current events. But after five years or so of spilling my guts on the family forum, I find that I am depleted. At least for now. Although the governing elites and the mainstream media continue reading their script, it appears the American people have caught on that it was a tragic farce. While Bush and his cohort continue to recite, their audience trickles away, shaking their heads. Although some of us have given in to well-earned Schadenfreude, and some continue to take pleasure in mocking the vest pocket Machiavellis and cheerleaders for empire, others are just tired. I am tired.
As the 2006 elections draw near, I expect to regain my voice. For the time being, there are plenty of people still willing to keep up the steady din of ridicule, to continue debunking the current regime’s shameless, neverending, self-serving bullshit.
Oh no you don’t. Start up a blog, and then come up with some kind of weak talk about “regaining your voice.”
Nuh-uh. I want some writing, I want some opinions, and I want them *YESTERDAY*, trooper. You think this is supposed to be *easy*? You think this is supposed to be *fun*? No one made you join the free-for-all opinion wars known as the blogosphere; but now that you have, you’re here for the duration, buddy, for the duration.
Now drop and give me twenty.
