I have just exported all the posts from this blog into I Have Heard the Mermaids Singing. Maintaining three, count ‘em, three of these things (including Liquid Diet) was more than I could handle, so Mermaids is now where I will post my political commentary as well as everything else.
If you’ve enjoyed what I’ve done here in my brief stay, please come on over and join the ongoing fun. I appreciate your support.
And two notes of my own: they seriously put some woman on to ask why Obama doesn’t wear a flag pin? Seriously?
And shouldn’t somebody have pointed out that Charlie Gibson’s capital gains tax questions misstated the facts and was merely a rehash of right wing distortions?
I gotta vote this Tuesday and, after last night, I almost feel dirty about it.
My name is Jack Curtin and I am a freelance writer residing in the Philadelphia region, about 30 miles west of the city. I’ve been unemployed, which is to say, freelancing, for nearly four decades and think I’m getting the hang of it.
These days, I write primarily about the world of craft beer and brewing professionally (you can read about all that here), but in my time I have written extensively about business, health care, sports, books, comics and a whole range of topics for both national and regional publications of all sorts, including a bit of fiction when I can, some of it even published and paid for, which was nice.
Message Redacted is a blog about politics and serves as a companion to the weekly Dubya Chronicles, a cartoon I do with Rob Davis. Check that out and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what’s coming here.
I truly believe that George W. Bush is The. Worst. President. Ever.
This blog is a successor of sorts to The Great Disconnect, my initial political blog, started during the 2000 Presidential Election, and I Can Hear The Mermaids Singing, which was a personal blog with a political bent. Mermaids has been relaunched here and will now be more generally focused on trying to cope with a world in which reality is an outdated concept.
