It's been a long time since I wrote her regularly. Simply put, I felt like I just didn't have anything new to add to the discussion, and I didn't really want to take part in the echo chamber and just keep repeating all the stuff that other people were saying better than me.
But it's time to revive the blog, I think, though it's sort of pointless for me to focus the way I used to mostly on national politics -- Arizona politics has more than enough crazy in it right now to keep my interest. And while I've tried in the past to sort of pay attention to local and state politics, it's been way too easy to ignore.
Sadly, that's entirely too common, and in that vacuum of attention, our state has been run into the ground by undereducated ideologues. That's a bad combination: stupidity and ideology.
So I'm back. Some people really need skewering.
