I have been away. Not in any physical sense (and no, I was not deployed anywhere), but I have been posting over at Little Green Footballs<\/a>, a.k.a LGF, which I felt provided me with a far wider audience. Which is true. And the companionship of my fellow Lizards (check LGF to figure that one out). Which is valuable. But I have been solicited by people who want me to update my blog with increasing regularity. I can’t link to it, as these have been actual walking, speaking human beings. People I gave the link to a long time ago, and who tell me months later, “Please post something! I check your blog once a week, and still all I see is the weird Kofi post, or whatever that was. And a bunch of comment spam.”<\/p>\n

SO I have cleaned up the comment spam, and we’ll start this round of posts with a media issue–the New York Times is Lying. See the next post.<\/p>\n

Thank you all who have convinced me to move back into my old house, as it were, to start posting here at my own site. I will regale you all some time with a post describing my computer nightmares which began in July, and are only now approaching a fantastic and triumphant conclusion. Here’s a hint–I have no more Microsoft Code in my home office. No Windows, No Office(tm), No Nothing.<\/p>\n
