Sitrep – 10 November 2009

I’ve not been posting nearly the amount of political stuff lately that I used to.  It’s not that I think the cause is lost and I most certainly haven’t changed my mind.  I’ve just been really tired lately – both physically and mentally.  I guess I’ve been suffering from a kind of political fatigue.

Living in Las Vegas, I’ve got John Ensign and nowhere near as bright as a Searchlight Harry Reid as my Senators.  My Representative in the House in D.C. is a Democrat who’s been toeing the Party Line.  I could write to all of them, but I know that only Ensign would have any chance of agreeing with me, let alone voting in a manner that in any way agrees with my thoughts.  I just get to the point at times where it feels like there’s no use.

Well, that’s changing.

We read all the time about how great the person is who continues fighting when the odds are against them.  We think that it’s a good thing to be more like them if we can.  They are held up as an example and rightly so.  Looking inward, I’ve found myself wanting.  But I’m going to take action to correct that.

I know I’ve got a good group of friends out there – you know who you are.  I also know that I’m getting a decent amount of traffic from checking the site meter.  So I really have no reason to think I’m shouting into the wind now, do I?

I’ll do my best to speak out about what I feel to be important.  Silence equals consent, right?  Sorry to anyone who disagrees, but I don’t consent to much of what I see going on around me.

Now, I’m not saying I’m going to abandon the good things in life and blogging – not by a long shot   The “Picture A Day” will continue to be prominently featured along with some cool stuff I find on the web and hopefully some adventures as well.  I’ve got a few things planned for the near future, but I’m going to keep those a secret for now

Here’s hoping y’all will see fit to come along for the ride
