Inaugural Post

Hello,

This blog shall be a magnum opus...

First off, I'd like to thank anyone who reads this now or in the future and chooses to share their thoughts with me and others on the issues. This is my first blog post on my first blog so if you can hear an audible noise that's my cherry popping. I intend to write this blog with a sort of unconventional convention....let me explain what I mean. I am a principled left winger and therefore am free of partisan hackery; in short I'll blast the Democratic Party quite often but don't confuse me with a Republican, my knuckles aren't scabby. Full disclosure I did vote for and support Obama against the stereotypical get-off-my-lawn insane old guy McNasty. Oh and Palin...let's just say she can see Russia from her house and that's when she's lucid. The Democratic Party has gone from the salad days of tough, principled leaders like FDR and RFK (though he never reigned) to "wolves in sheep's clothing" like President William Jefferson Clinton. The rightward tilt of some in the party (Lieberman I-Aetna, Nelson D-are you serious?) and others have taken what I think is a majority of well intentioned progressives and liberals, dipped them in corporate excrement and left them hung out to dry. Oh great, we just get finished running off Mussolini's illegitimate offspring in Cheney and now we get more of the same? say it ain't so, liberals. Okay, I apologize for the tangent (but not the poisoned bag of dicks heading Lieberman's way heh, heh). I'll link to other blogs as soon as possible though a busy schedule sometimes precludes me from always coming current. In spite of my sour grapes towards a few select politicians I would like to make as a mission statement an intelligent and semi-coherent analysis of the issues of the day and maybe a blast or two at another blog as I read them. Anyone who comments directly to me will get a post back either expressing my thanks for bringing to my attention any new detail or development or a fuck you if deserved. That's pretty much it, enjoy the blog!
