You may have noticed a dearth of serious blogging here lately, though I did briefly rise to the surface to say something about the bizarre booklist the Obamalamadingdongs are planning to push on the nation’s kids. But mostly I’ve been fooling around on my Tumblr, and every time I see something about the current doings in DC — say, oh, something like the head of the EPA dismissing the Climategate emails with a disdainful sniff, because as far as she is concerned the science is settled and we will be going back to the nice, clean 12th century thank you, which leaves me with nothing but the hope that I survive the coming plagues and famines long enough to see her and her compatriots’ dismay as they realize that the civilization they destroyed is where they live too… Anyway, as I was saying, whenever I read something like that, a haze of exhaustion overtakes my mind, and I find myself thinking of anything else — bubblegum, navel lint, television shows — than the state of the world and what to do about it. When I see what these people are getting up to on the taxpayer dime as if the United States of America is their own private Disney World I can’t even think up any clever ripostes anymore. My last nerve has been breached. I’m plumb wore out. It’s official: Obama has broken my brain.
So I hope you enjoy a lot of babble about snow, my cat, housework, um — stories I’m trying to write (I’m trying at least to keep track of all the plots I’m coming up with; I’ve got another scifi percolating as well as the current one), and Doctor Who silliness over at the Tumblr thing. (Oh yeah, and I’m having a fundraiser, so, erm, you know.)
