I won&#8217;t waste your time (or mine) whining about the customer service of a certain internet and telephone service provider; it&#8217;s over now, and I should be able to get back up to speed pretty quickly.\n\n<p>Anyway, what&#8217;s coming through now is four weeks&#8217; accumulation. It&#8217;s pretty skimpy for four weeks, but remember that I haven&#8217;t had internet access, and as it happens, I haven&#8217;t been reading print newspapers, either, so my only news is NPR, half-listened to whilst breakfasting. Furthermore, I haven&#8217;t been doing much serious reading; as my Gentle Readers will see, it&#8217;s been mostly trash of one kind or another.\n\n<p>Now that I have access again, I&#8217;ll be doing my usual browsing, and I hope I&#8217;ll find lots of inspiration. I intend to do regular analysis of political rhetoric; I will still have a few candidates, and now I can read transcripts of most speeches, instead of relying on snippets of the audio, with NPR replaying the Howard Dean &#8220;Hyaaaah!&#8221; over and over again. I mean, it&#8217;s good radio and all, but enough. If any Gentle Reader wants to point me to a speech, and ask me what I think, I promise to take a look at it. I am hoping to do some analysis of the State of the Union address, and the responses before too long.\n\n<p>Redintegro Iraq,<br>-Vardibidian.\n<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heigh-ho, Gentle Readers all.
