Where The Hell Have I Been?--An Update

2008-10-28T11:13:57Z

I know, a rude, rudderless soul am I. Seriously, I apologize for my lack of posts lately folks. There is good reason. I won't use the usual excuse of my young son, his teething and as a result the number of hours of sleep I get each night--which can be counted on one of Rahm Emmanuel's hands (google him and missing finger, then you'll get that joke).

Nah, that's old hat now. We have much bigger news than that. First of all, some of you may remember that I was working on a book last year called The Real McCain. A look beyond the MSM mythology into what really makes the man tick. That effort, after I had completed 90% of it, was rightfully shelved by myself and my publisher once he became more unpopular than Gigli.

But then something interesting happened. All the other GOPers sucked worse than he does. And you know the rest. Moral: Book is back on with a vengeance, and we are crashing on it to have it ready by August or September.

Second, I am leaving Brave New Films. This point is largely related to the last one. I am doing some media consulting and am still a fellow over at Working America--but will now be adding a fellowship at Progress Ohio and some other opportunities into the mix (the best description I can think of for Progress Ohio is a sort of statewide Moveon.org).

Finally, there's the blog. Obviously, with my leaving the employ of BNF the blog will not stay here. Right now we are mulling our options, but we have been invited to join an already very popular liberal blog, while maintaining our own way of doing things. It is a deal that is in the works, and likely to happen. Otherwise, we'll head back to blogspot. Either way, this blog will continue to exist.

So I am sorry I have not been around very much. And the next month or two promise to be the same. Some days I will be able to put up a bunch of posts, others, not so much. But it isn't because I don't still love blogging. It's because there's a lot of stuff going on.

PS Also, if you live in or near the Columbus area, I will be a featured speaker at the National Democratic Law Students Council convention. It should be a lot of fun, with some great people like Congressman John Conyers and Governor Ted Strickland of Ohio making appearances. So come on by if you are so moved.
