More Mindless Blather on the Web? You Betcha.

Welcome to a new little corner of the blogosphere, if there's not some cooler, more recent nickname for the incessant meanderings of the now millions of incessant meanderings of those of us too greedy to put our formal writing training to work daily, or too frustrated at our lack of outlets for our surely brilliant morsels, or too lazy to just go hang that picture shelf or finish that novel. Turns out I dont even have the energy to construct a thoughtful thesis for this blog, but will concern itself, in no order of importance, with policy and politics with an emphasis on my home state of Iowa, health care, music, the ridiculous and the sublime in pop culture, and "journalism" in the USA, whatever that is. All forms of human expression have a psychological purpose, a driver, and mine is to try and sort out the reality in which we find ourselves after November 4, 2008. Beware, you may find yourself agreeing with some of this stuff. But, as Kurt Vonnegut liked to remind us, "Buy the ticket, take the ride."
