Back To Basics

Okay, I've scraped all the spleen off my monitor. Let's begin anew.

A few days ago, I spoke with a co-worker about this blog. She does not consider herself to be very politically aware, and her question about this blog was: "who are all those people?" Which illustrates to me that I've strayed away from my original premise for this blog: for the average person. Sometimes I need reminding that the average person does not consider CSPAN to be entertainment, nor do they know who Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) is.

So it is in that spirit that I restart the blog. For the average person. I don't blog a lot on Treasongate, or Jack Abramoff, or the internal goings-on of the GOP. There are many bloggers who do that already, and do it so much better than I could. My blog is about what I think affects real people, designed (saying it again to remind myself) for the average person.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog. Thanks for coming back.
