Then a strange thing happened. I lost interest. Maybe because I was burnt out, maybe because I’m a sore loser (I don’t think so; I continue to wish Obama the best of luck, with as little sarcasm as possible). It all seems so futile. Does it make sense to discuss politics in a system that had congressional approval ratings in the teens yet incumbent reelection rates in the nineties? What are voters smoking? So, I withdrew.

With the federal government attempting to “reform” our health care system, it’s hard to remain silent. So I’m back. You can also follow me on my new political Twitter account, Impolite Company.

For all other topics, you can still find me at blogan.net and on Twitter, as blogan.

Did you get burnt out after the 2008 election? Are you back in the game?

Don’t look for balance here, or necessarily even wisdom. Politics is not my day job. I hope you’ll find I have an open mind, willing to consider that I just might be wrong and willing to be educated. If you come with the same attitude, we could have some fun discussing the issues.

Let’s go!
