Due to various personal, technical, and logistical issues, blogging here will likely remain rare for the next few weeks. Thank you for the emails wishing me well and inquiring after my well-being, as well as for the somewhat-threatening ones that demand I "bring the funny." I'd also like to offer an especial heartfelt 'hello' to the individual who simply wrote; "Dance, liberal monkey, dance."

If you need a fix, I encourage you to visit the excellent sites in my blogroll, and if you're really desperate, you can always peruse nine months worth of archives. . .

Don't fear; I shall once again pollute the blogosphere with my spiteful brand of deconstructive diatribe. But not today.
