Jeff Danziger’s scathing indictment of GOP election strategy.

I have nothing to add.

So blogging has been light ever since school started… and I’ve been pretty light on long entries for a while now. There are a few reasons:

1) Like Jessie says, the political world just has me sad lately. I cannot believe the way this election season is going. It’s ugly and dirty and so far away from what I believe to be really happening in the world as to be a truly absurdist campaign. Kat and I finally saw Fahrenheit 9/11 today, and as we were walking out, Kat said, "Bush makes me embarassed to be an American." There’s a longer post there, but for now, that’ll do.

2) Beacon has been keeping me insanely busy. I’m in a new position at Beacon this year — more on that later too — but it means fielding more calls from home, doing more administrative work, and generally making life a lot busier.

3) I am trying to spend a little less time online. Call me crazy and all, but when school comes back into session, and I suddenly have much less unstructured time, I get a bit more selfish about how I spend that time. So I’ve been biking and playing basketball and seeing friends and family a lot in my off-time this week. (Shana Tova to all, by the way!)

But… I’ve also missed blogging, interestingly enough. There are a lot of posts I’ve got mulling around in my head, from politics to Beacon / education to fatherhood… so I’m going to try to get back into the habit of trying to get a blog entry in every day.
