Templates

Yeah, I've changed the template around again. Part of it is boredom, but much of the (ahem) experimentation stems from a larger issue, which is my growing dissatisfaction with what this blog has been over the past year or so. I enjoy blogging far too much to walk away, but I don't want to be just another macaw in the birdhouse, merely a repackager of bromides.

After 7-1/2 years of blogging, I find that I'm less interested in writing about politics than ever, especially in an era where politics are as comprehensively wrongheaded as they are now. So I need to start doing less of it and start writing about other things more. So I will. The politics won't go away entirely, because silence in the face of lunacy isn't acceptable. Yet, yet. . . this feature needs to be about more than that.

" this feature needs to be about more than that."

YES!

there are more better things to talk about than politics (which usually places one into a partisan position).

I for one want to know where you stand on lawn games.

WBP,

Dan,

A haiku week would
Work especially well if
Picklesworth's involved

The Jarts of Justice
Raining down on Mr. D.
Incorrect answer.

Gino said...

are Jarts even legal anymore?

Mr. D said...

"The Jarts of Justice" would be a good name for an album.

Gino, I don't think Jarts are legal any more; at least the ones with the points.

For a minister
You've got quite a mean streak there,
Rev'rend Picklesworth

A man of the cloth
With a tongue like a lash, with
love from Iowa

Bocce balls will creep
Like angry iron ninjas
To kiss your sweet sleep.

The horseshoe of fate
Drops on the economy
Unexpectedly

The frogs say "croak-it"
But we know it's called cro-KAY
No, it's not Cricket
