Sorry I haven't done much in the way of blogging recently. Post-election political apathy and news dominated by the trillions of dollars of bailout funding have left me less inclined to comment on the stories of the day--oh yeah, and that whole "work" thing too.
Seriously though, my old Chevy Corsica started smoking--coincidentally right after I quit smoking myself (it'll be a solid month without a cigarette tomorrow!) and really screwed up my transportation routine. I took it to a shop and they told me for me to attempt to fix it would be throwing good money after bad...and I took this as a metaphor for the situation GM and the other U.S. automakers generally find themselves in now. It also made me think that perhaps my mechanic* should be picked to replace Hank Paulson.
Anyway, I got another car, so my schedule should be flexible enough again so I can blog and work without one cutting into the responsibilities of the other.
And I did manage to put a piece together on Plax's fiasco up in NYC for reason. It's about time I published again. Check it out here.
See you soon!

*Upon recommendation from the Agitatrix--the Agitator's fairer half--I took the car to Wiygul Automotive Clinic. These guys are great and honest. If you're in NoVa or the DC area, I recommend them whole-heartedly.

Just read your reason piece. Very nice! I laughed out loud once or twice. Hmm, that doesn't seen like the right reaction. Let's clarify: I laughed out loud at the sarcasm; I was appropriately outraged by the sentencing guidelines. And I haven't been appropriately outraged by sentencing guidelines since I had to interview every single judge in Franklin Country, Ohio, and repeatedly heard them list mandatory minimums as their biggest pet peeves ...
