Much like Sinistar, I live.

It’s been a long six months since I last posted. I left a job and moved. I started back at college. I got a new job. now I feel the need to post at least once or twice just to keep my hand in.

As I predicted, we’re headed for a government where a single political party controls two off the three wings of government. Barack Obama and the legislative Democrats have an awful lot of power on their hands. Let’s hope they use it wisely.

Uncharacteristically I do feel at least a little hope that things will get better. The press has been more vigilant about certain things over the last year, so I feel that if Obama and crew start to backslide on privacy and freedom issues that it will get brought to light. After the Rebulicans managed to get themselves tossed out on their ear over a number of scandals I have some hope the Democrats will try to avoid doing the same thing too quickly. I’m hoping the Blagojevich thing isn’t going to translate to the national stage. I did end up voting for Obama, so help me, mostly because I felt a McCain presidency would have been disastrous.

Anyhow, I hope to be able to post on a semi-regular basis at least for the next month or so. School is over until the start of the Spring semester, so I’ve got some time on my hands. I hope to get a post done soon, though unless someone asks otherwise I’m skipping the bailout as a topic. Enough’s been said by all sides on that already.
