After all the kind words, and many many offers to guest post, I've relented and decided to go the route of the 'journeyman blogger'. So in the coming months you'll see my stuff spread around the blogsphere, but I'll always have a link here.And where is Kvatch today? Blogging about that ass-wipe Glenn Beck at The Unruly Mob.

Or... "The hardest post I'll every write."Blogging is something you start to give voice to your thoughts. You develop a style, a shtick, a readership, and if you're lucky like me fall in with a great circle of like-minded people. But make no mistake, blogging is an addiction and one that is harder to break than you might think.This last week, I've found that my heart just isn't in it anymore.

George Bush can try to explain it away by calling it a "skills gap". He can point to spectacular gains in the financial markets as a sign of economic health. But the gap between rich and poor continues to expand. It's wider now than at any time in the last century, and the sharpest increases have occurred since Bush took office in 2000. Recent IRS stats reprinted in the Wall Street Journal

It was perhaps this week's biggest "DUH!" moment. Verizon reverses itself not 24 hours after it banned NARAL Pro-choice America's text messages from its mobile network. And "Why?" you might ask, did Verizon decide to appoint itself the guardian of its subscriber's mores? Well nobody's really sure, but the Telco did mouth something silly about not accepting content that, "...may be seen as

It would be hard to find a more worthless administration tool than Diane Feinstein. From gutting FISA to funding the war without restrictions, this so-called Democrat cries "how high?" anytime Bu$hCo says jump. She voted to extend the Patriot Act without the critical safeguards that real Democrats wanted. She voted for what amounts to a declaration of war on Iran. She was instrumental in

In the hyper-politicized environment of the Bu$hCo executive, it seems as if the Department of Transportation is going to need a new mission statement. The old one:Serve the United States by ensuring a fast, safe, efficient, accessible and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people, today and into the future...

Many of you know about the Automated Targeting System (ATS), a federal database that has been used to screen passengers since the mid-1990s. And the fact that DHS has put this system into overdrive since 2002 has been discussed on this blog. What is only now starting to be revealed however, is how much information is being stored, how long DHS intends to keep the information around, and the
