Welcome back.

Life is changing, ever changing. School has begun, and I've had my first classes as a bona fide doctoral candidate. It's fun to sign one's name with an MA at the end.

I've also moved. Ya'll can now find me in the first state. It's friendly here! And it's lovely not to pay taxes :)

Some of you may know that I have officially endorsed John Edwards. I'm sure it is extremely meaningful to him to recive this endorsement, because I am nearly as influential as all those unions that keep endorsing him. I will explian why I have endorsed Mr. Edwards:

I have taken a keen interest in watching his speeches, and I have found him to be deeply honest and thoughtful. I think he has the most well-thought positions, and he has the most liberal positions of the major candidates. I love his wife, and I think her struggle with cancer has lit a fire under John that has shown him what are the important things in life. He's no longer the son of a mill worker, but rather he is now the fire breathing liberal who cares intensely about the common man.

If you don't believe me, watch his speeches. He really is breathing fire. He yells, he empathizes, and he suffers. He suffers because he sees hard working people getting shafted. He sees people without health insurance dying because they cant afford the care his wife gets. He sees people working too many jobs and getting paid too little. He sees an economy that would not support a man like his father if his father were still working today.

I really do plead with you to learn some more about this guy. Watch his speeches, read his positions, and pay him some attention.

If you're a long time reader of mine, you may remember that I used to hate this guy. I wrote some pretty nasty things about him back in 2004. If my archives were available, you'd be able to read them and see the way I spoke about him back then. I have been completely convinced otherwise today. He is passionate, and he is honest.

I have already given him some money, and I probably will again before the primaries arrive. I hope you will think about doing the same. Check out JohnEdwards.com and come aboard!
