Our good friend, Comandante Agi has decided to ruin his recent re-takeover of this otherwise successful blog by tarnishing it with the presence of someone so unpleasant, so contrarian & argumentative -- uh, that'd be me -- that it can't accomplish anything but drive away 45% of his readers overnight.
But what the hell, this place has an anarchistic, libertarianish bent, so if he wants to ruin things, that's his business, right?
Anyhow, for those of you who don't know me, I've been poisoning the blogosphere with my angry rantings and barely-funny attempts at humor for three years at Mike's Neighborhood. I used to write about movies and baseball along with the standard snarky attacks on Bush & Cheney & the rest of the rotton gang.
But that was then.
Like Agi & Montag, I choose not to look backward and scream to the heavens about all the rancid shit the last administration did. I choose, instead, to level my twin barrels of cynicism and skepticism at the current administration. Lately, I've pretty much posted on nothing but the economic disaster and the insider shenanigans of Obama's boys, Geithner & Summers, along with Bernanke. If you don't care about that stuff, you won't like the last 8 months of my blog. Or the months to come, because that's what I'm gonna continue discussing.
So there you have it. A typically long-winded (and self-absorbed) way of saying "hello," all the while imagining that anyone actually cares what I think or say. See you with something of substance soon.
Welcome aboard, Mike.

I find it most awesome to read blogs that question the present admin. as well as the past. They all need to be held accountable for what they do, and kept in line (if at all possible). Good to see you! Is Blogenfreude still going to post as well?

I'm sure Blogenfreude will drop in from time to time to post. He's off in an undisclosed black site right now - or he's just a little burned out. I don't remember.

Criticizing the government worked so well with Bush, why not criticize Obama? The only difference (besides, the obvious intellectual ones) are they come from differing parts of the corpocracy.

There you have it! On all accounts. Welcome to this great neighborhood.

They do? That's news to me.

This is a great crew. I'll post about you soon and tweet about you now.
Yeah I know I've got posting privs here but don't hold your breath. I'll run everything by Agi if I join you. xo

I have been wondering what BF was going to do; there were no cross link notices or anything...
Here's to some change! Change has been known to be good...or dangerous to your health. YMMV.
