Very Early A.M. Return to Blogging

Wow! I have returned to blogging, after almost 3 months of depriving the planet of my wisdom. And after taking a long sleep on Friday night I am sitting at the laptop after getting up and going through a bunch of online newspapers , newsagency stuff, think tank reports, Fora speeches, and Youtube videos of pop music from around the world. A world tour online. I wish I could get the time and patience to do a regular online summary of all the newsbits from around the world coming across the web-ala Drudge-but I have somewhat poor eyesight due to the diabetes, and after an hour or so looking at a screen I get worn down. and have to shut the laptop off and go to bed. It is hard enough to keep track of local news daily. Nejad at Columbia and who said and did what during the current political campaigning is enough to overwhelm the little brain. I do not know how Drudge and Hewitt do it every day. I have gotten obsessed with all the stuff on Youtube, and have gotten away from reading much in the way of blogs, but hopefully can get some kind of organization worked out to keep a cyberspace education going--and I actually have gotten back into reading some Books I got at a bargain book store--bios of John Adams, Khrushchev, Harry Truman, and Stalin, and some histories of the Gulag. Now we should go to a new paragraph.
Found an interesting news bit on probably Hugh Hewitt that W is secretly feeding HRC info on what is going on with Iraq policy--since W thinks HRC will be the next president, so she should know what she will be in for when she takes over from him. Interesting.
Since I last blogged in July a bridge fell into the Mississippi in Minneapolis and killed at least 13 people. The Move-On-General Petraeus-Betrayus flap has taken place, Pavarotti, Bev Sills, Regine Crespin, and Jerry Hadley(who killed himself) have died, and I found out that last March Betty Hutton died. Michael Vick has been nailed for running a dog fighting setup, and OJ is back in trouble--but I will leave him to other reporters, and not try to rehash all the OJ news.
Interesting story in Des Moines last week; Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece was in town to speak at a local high school, but was cancelled by school honchos after some Liberal parents howled that the lady was non grata-- because she turns out to be a black female conservative Republican, and she is against abortion. So she gave her talk at a local Catholic high school. That situation has hapened before here--white yuppie liberals vs. black conservatives.
I am not going to comment on the current problems with my Chicago Bears.
I am going to close for now, and as I always say when I turn out to not blog for a month or more, I hope to get something going so that I can blog more frequently than I do anymore. This will be all for right now. Di di mau you all!
