For the past week, I've been just lying low, waiting for the old one to be over. I was so-o-o-o ready for it to be over with and so full of outrage fatigue, I had nothing more to say.
Today, I have a little hope that 2010 may be slightly better.
Fortunately, for anyone eager for some stimulating blogging, I can do no better than to steer you to Mickey Nardo's blog
http://1boringoldman.com/Mickey is just back from a long trip to Egypt and Jordan and returned ready to share his wisdom and his prodigious internet researching skills.
I highly recommend his essay "A New Year's Resolution For Us All:"
We’ve spent trillions, and sent thousands to the grave trying to unhappen 9/11, looking for a safety that is elusive. And we’ve allowed ourselves to go over to the "dark side."And then do take the time to watch his clip of Rachel Madow demolishing the shameless and hypocritical responses from Cheney and the Republicans to the Christmas day plane-bombing attempt and Obama's response to it.
Rachel is probably the smartest pundit on TV right now (a former Rhodes scholar); she's also fearless, unintimidated, and funny.
And Happy New Year.
Ralph
