I'm Back...

I'm back...it has been a while but my plan is to start posting more frequently. I'm going to take this (new) first post to tell you what my plans are for postings in the future. I read a lot of blogs and other news during my day so I’m planning to post a "favorite links" section everyday based on what I read. I can’t possibly post everything that interests me everyday but I will do what I can. I will also commentate on these links as I see fit. I would encourage anyone reading this to check out the links.

In addition to these favorite links, I will try to write about my activities as well as thoughts that interest me.

I’m always looking for new ideas for posts so please send me things and I will certainly consider them.

So here we go…Today’s links:

Anti-Bush Defections in GOP Rising - TIME

Democrats Seem Ready to Extend Wiretap Powers

Not sure how I feel about this but many logical points are made in this article (both pro and con).
