Much like my brother Buffalo, I’m done. Done with political blogging at least. I don’t have the time, the stomach, nor the heart for it anymore.  Too much depressing news. Obama is doing some great things and hopefully the economy starts turning around before too many more people get lost in its wake and drown. Lord knows things have gotten pretty tight on this end of things.  It will most likely be years and years before our country fully recovers from the damage the Bush Administration inflicted on her, but like a young child, she heals rather quickly.  We will come out of these perilous times eventually and most likely stronger than when they began. 

So before I go dark once again, I want to thank all of the readers that ever were of this little spot on the Internet, especially my little Republican friend, Nick Badway. We’ve had some contentious “discussions” in my time here, but hopefully I’ve changed your perception on a few things.  I know you’ve changed mine, specifically that not all of those who vote Republican are evil.  You’ve helped me to temper my anger and rationalize the situation before declaring it wrong.  You and I see things through different glasses yet we both retain our humanity.  On very few occasions did you ever resort to senseless name-calling and for that I thank you Nick.

I also especially want to thank those who took me in and called me brother: Scroff, Deuddersun, Fixer,  Jo Fish, Gordon, Kitchen Window Woman, Chief, Buffalo, CAFKIA, Spadoman, Moderate Man, among others.  You have all taught me a lot and been a sounding board when I needed it.  I love you guys. Keep fighting the good fight.

P.S. If I ever do get the urge to blog again, it will be here, but it will probably be about something completely different than politics although I retain the right to blogroll you guys anyway.
