Back in 1996 when I started this website I was full of angst and righteous indignation. Those sentiments kept building until the 2004 election, at which point I had a bit of a meltdown, and decided the only way through it was to pretty much give up on the lot of you. Since then I've been mostly floating along on a wave of home ownership, marriage and parenthood - living the American Dream to the best of my ability in the declining days of the empire.

When I look back through the old posts here I see little to smile about, some that embarrasses myself, and a lot that brings back those feelings of outrage. Fuck it: I'm deleting it all. Maybe cutting loose that inertia will get me writing again. Probably not, but I can always hope.
