A New Blog

Wow. What a powerful tool. I heard that blogs were used recently by determined little liberal geeks to undermine the reputation of no less personage than the President of the United States, and that by their actions they were able to deliver as much as 0.000245 per cent of the vote to their candidate of choice, former Senator John Kerry. Why, that's nearly 95 votes nationwide. Good job, guys! It's amazing how influential technology is becoming in the 21st century.

I don't think I can hope for such staggering results, so I'll keep my hopes reasonable. It will be nice if I can even get back to post here now and then, much less hope that someone else will drop by and be influenced.

The thought of having any effect on the wide world through these humble words is daunting. Having read some very clever stuff over the last couple of hours, my confidence level is very low.

I guess I'll do my usual, though, and try to keep your expectations as low as I can manage. How'm I doing so far?
