Sorry for my absence . . .

I've been quite depressed lately (in the "clinical" sense), also we went to Dallas (yay!!!) for 10 days at Christmastime, which was wonderful. But I will try to post a lot more - I really enjoy communicating with all of you who are kind enough to read this blog. (Best thing to do? Put it on an RSS reader! :^) If you're on a Mac, I highly recommend Vienna. I've been using it for two months and it has changed my life. Well, okay, it has made keeping up with my favorite blogs easier, and better-looking! And it's free!)

So . . . you wanna know why conservatives don't quite trust John McCain?

Well . . . Iowahawk, once again, comes through with a hilarious satire that spoofs "the maverick's" relationship to "The Man". McCain won Florida yesterday, and he may yet win the nomination - but without compromises of a different kind, the base is going to work for him more like they did for Dole than for G. W. Bush. And then hel-loooooo Obama.
