Several days back I mentioned that one of the benefits to writing this blog and editorials for the print media as well as pieces for online content is that occasionally I get to write for other people.  I also mentioned that I was absent from posting on the blog due to a project that I was working on.  The new news is that this project is in the process of blossoming into a possible career move for me.  Although I cannot divulge the nature of this new path my writing career has taken I will tell you that this path leads to the same end.  Therefore, I am announcing that I will be taking some significant time off from the blog to cultivate this new endeavor and hope that I can return soon to let you all know exactly what I am talking about.

"....I keep going back to this cynical point of view that I have and people jump down my throat but the underlying problem we have in this country is the people are too stupid to be governed, they are, they are too dumb to get it.  So how do you explain complex satiations like terrorism, like the environment, you don't, the public is like, it's like a dog, it can only understands inflection, it can't understand any sort  of rational argument.  You know a dog can understand 20 or 30 commands like come, and sit and fetch and the people in this country can understand things like Mavericks and surge and surges always work and mavericks will clean stuff up so I don't trust them to make the right decision..."    (Bill Maher
