Back and Thanks
I'm back. Trying to catch up with news, I was encouraged to learn that steroids in baseball is the issue to take on if you want to be taken seriously:
Sen. John McCain, the straight-talking Republican who often challenges the GOP establishment, has taken on a headline-grabbing issue — steroids in baseball — and generated talk of a presidential bid in 2008.
Good to be back to such political and moral courage. By the way, did Iraq sink while I was gone? I mean the country that we are occupying? One could be confused, if one relied on media coverage. Most news about it seems to be in the format of "bombing in city ____ in Iraq has killed __ people." Replace name and number, republish, repeat. Name this enterprise journalism.
I'll start posting my Venezuela observations shortly. Meanwhile, a heartfelt thanks to Jonathan Scwhartz for making the blog a place I wanted to keep coming back to read -- while I was gone. In fact, I was kind of tempted to ask him blog a bit more:-) For those who got used to his, ahem, sick sense of humor, continue checking out Tiny Revolution.

Zeynep! Welcome back. We missed you, and look forward to hearing about Venezuela.
Thanks for letting me take care of the site in your absence. I enjoyed the opportunity to expose more of the world to, as Moe Szyslak would say, "My Troubled Mind." (Ask Sam if you're puzzled by the reference.)

Thanks Joshua. It's kind of hard to get everything together on Venezuela, but hopefully soon.
And thanks Jonathan, for your "troubled mind."

Come on, sporto-s are not going to appreciate any politician meddling in their pasttime.
It would be comprable to Sedition Laws.
