I really need to spend more time in the real world -- at least as far as my online life goes. Offline, I'm a fairly normal person - I have meals with my family, do the things that need done, run my errands -- online though I seem stuck in pirate mode. I've been pirating so much I can't even keep up with my pirate blog! I am still trying to keep the Star Trek fiction on twitter up to date, most of that stuff I write in big chunks, then dole out 140 characters at a time until it's time to watch the next episode and write the chunk for it. But the pirate stuff has been impeded by additional creative burdens -- creating pirate pages for the pirate wikia, and entering a contest for pirate goodies (grand prize is an Octopus familiar, a very expensive in-game item). But with all that going on, this page has languished -- extremely odd considering we endured an election cycle. I managed to not vent any of my opinions about the candidates at all. I never said anything about the mainstream media painting Sarah Palin as far less qualified than Joe Biden to be vice-president, while ignoring the fact that she was more qualified than Barack Obama to be president!! I said nothing about feminists all but crucifying her for being the ultimate achievement of their goal - except for that pro-life stance, and her being a republican of course. And now that he's elected, Mr CHANGE -- Mr. LETSWORKTOGETHER, has started hiring former Clinton staff members, all under the guidance of one of the most rabid bar-fighter democrats (and fellow Chicago Democrat) -- Rahm "Rahmbo" Emmanuel. Yeah, good way to start changing and brining people together. And just because the Clinton people managed to not screw up the prosperity Reagan had lead the country to, doesn't mean they can build a recovery plan for a country ravaged by terrorist attacks, war, and questionable regulatory practices.
Stay tuned for our next episode...
