I have been deplorably absent from this blog. I could make excuses for this, listing all the many oh-so-important distractions that have kept me away, but I won’t. I’m back, and I shall try to do better.
The good news that readers were spared commentary on those hot headlines that are now cold, or at least lukewarm: Hillary’s out, Obama’s in; John Edwards is a cheating louse; and Lindsay Lohan may marry her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson. (And Ellen DeGeneres DID marry Portia DiRossi—yea!) There’s a lot more, of course. School started, summer ended; scientists have discovered that if we leave our earwax alone—put down that Q-Tip!—our ears will stay perfectly fine all on their own; Obama chose attorney and U.S. Senator Joe Biden as his running mate, presumably for his extensive experience in foreign relations and judiciary affairs; and John McCain chose Alaska governor Sarah “Barracuda” Palin as his running mate, raising the frightening possibility that the old geezer might kick off while in office and leave us with a President who is light-years to the right of George W. Bush and has even less experience (but a LOT more ambition and brains).
So many topics, so little time. When I can pick just one, I’ll be back.
