I haven't written much lately. It's not that I don't have anything to say, it's just that it seems everything's already been said. I'm tired of pointing to yet more liberal bias in the MSM since anyone who cares knows about it anyway, is in denial, or is just too stupid to even question what they see on CBS et al.
I'm tired of pointing out why I think John Kerry is an unprinicipled liberal who would be a President along the lines of Jimmy Carter - and that's if we're lucky. (By the way, the Jimmy Carter reference isn't a compliment.)
I'm tired of pointing to yet more Kerry flip-flopping and/or inconsistencies.
I'm suffering from blogging angst because I don't have any thoughts right now that would seem to be even vaguely original or compelling to anyone.
You might want to do what I do when I catch blogging angst; visit some of the blogs I have linked over there on the right hand side of the page:
Belief Seeking Understanding covers a wide range of topics. From Religion to Computer Science to whatever he happens to come up with. Douglas keeps it interesting and unpredictable. And whatever you do, don't mention USN & WR's College Ratings - that really sets him off.
Ryan's Head is also somewhat unpredictable. Lately, he's stuck to religion although he sometimes ventures into politics. Quite often he'll mention Mrs. Lovechunk. I don't know how he gets away with that. He's got one of the coolest jobs around but I can't tell you what it is because I'm not sure he'd like that. Anyway, he thinks he's old because he just turned 29. Hah!
True Blue shares my dislike for John Kerry and she's also geographically close to me. (Go Cards!)
Murdoc, besides being a good guy, keeps everyone up to date on the newest hardware coming for the military.
ACOT consistently has the most information involving Special Forces. She's pretty opinionated and I don't think you'd want to get on her bad side. Fortunately, I agree with 99.9% of what she says. Also, if she didn't have such good interpersonal boundaries I suspect she'd have some interesting personal stories to tell. Caution: If you're on a slow dialup connection you might want to move along.
More later on the link reviews. In the meantime, check these guys out.
I'll post again when I have something to say -- not sure when that'll be. Maybe a day, an hour or a week...

I know how you feel dealing with blogging angst. If you check my entries, I haven't written much during the past few months -- although I have pondered much in my heart and mind.
This election is ugly and I'm fighting the urge to declare, "What does it really matter..." I know, I know, it DOES MATTER.
About my job, it is fun, but yes, it's top secret stuff. Ha!
Posted by: Ryan at September 7, 2004 08:56 PMJD: Thanks much for the link and the kind words.
I, too, have been dragging a bit of late. A lot of folks seem to have slowed down some. And SDB up and quit! (That's kind of a bummer to me, since his site probably more than any other prompted me to give blogging a whirl.)
Stick with it. Don't force it. Recharge the batteries and carry on when ready.

Thanks for the link! :D It gets to be a pain when it seems to be the same news and the same ultimate message over and over... I know. I feel it too. But, I'm not going down without a fight, even if I have to make up news. Which feels about right today. ;)
Thanks to all of you for your comments and encouragement. Personally I'd like to see some real progress in the presidential campaign. That 11 point bounce was okay but I'd really like to see Bush pull away from Kerry by a wider margin. I figure he'll need to be ahead by at least 5% to make up for all the vote shenanigans and legal challenges from Democrats.

JD: Your assessment of "vote shenanigans and legal challenges from Democrats" makes it sound like you've been reading Hugh's book. If not, pick up a copy; it's an eye opener for sure.
By the way, thanks for pointing in my direction.
Hey JD:
Is there a reason I can't post a comment on your latest entry, "Desperation"?
