Yeah, it's become pretty obvious that I can't keep up with the ole' blog. My last post was in March??? Ouch.
Facebook is just a much more immediate and inclusive medium. Even though in theory anyone in the whole wide web can come here to ML, that's not the way it works out. With FB, you know you've got an audience, though you give up some things, such as privacy to some extent.
On the other hand, lots of folks are not interested in political debate on FB, and I probably am quite annoying to them. But some are. It's just not practical to try to drag them to this blog and expect them to make it a destination, especially when I can't even do that myself on a regular basis.
And the truth is, Ezra Klein and Josh Marshall say everything I would say, and more, much better than I could say it. So linking to them is simply more efficient.
I'm not closing the account. There's an election this fall (and unless Obama triggers the Rapture, more to come) and it will probably make sense to fire this site up then, when I have more to write about.
Until then, see you on FB!
PS: I'm also still blogging on MySpace, but that's pretty much just about music stuff.
Good night, everybody, everywhere. Goodnight...
