So I realized that I have several friends (most notably the GoG) who have their own blogs, and I had one for a while that I used to keep folks updated while I was in China. (That one will probably get resurrected as I continue to travel internationally and check out how they do acupuncture and herbal medicine all over the world, but it doesn't seem appropriate to continue with right now.)
So this leaves a void. I feel the need to post my rants to folks from time to time, to let them know what's going on. I probably will think of my main audience as the aforementioned GoG, so there might be a lot of social stuff (both social commentary and my own social goings-on). I might delve into politics, but fighting with right-wing whackjobs gives me ulcers, so I might keep it confined to those spaces. (Okay, actually The Professor is one of the smartest conservatives I know, but I generally have serious doubts about the veracity of the facts he finds. Just as he probably has serious doubts about the veracity of the facts I find. But I rest easy in the smug, self-satisfied belief that reality has a well-known liberal bias.)
Did I mention that anyone taking themselves too seriously around here will be taken out and shot?
