Blast from the Past (and it's still just hot air)
Occasionally, I'll click the link in my MT interface to go and edit a few posts that are still in a "draft" state in the Archives, hoping to bring them back on-line and up to date. It's taking a lot longer than I'd expected, because it takes forever to save and publish each entry before going on to the next one, and in addition to the time wasted it's incredibly boring.
In an attempt to amuse myself, I decided to edit a few from the first month of the blog and move forward, rather than progress backward from the last published post, as I have been doing. It's been a treat - I'd forgotten how much fun I had in the first weeks, getting into the new medium. And some posts have actually shown some decent foresight, from my observation that the Democrats were going to crusade against Catholic judges, to who the future Majority Leader would be. Even if the meat of my commentary was going in the wrong direction, some of the details of the articles I cited are more true now than ever.
For example, long before Steve made a passion out of "Botox Watch", Mark Steyn thought there was something awfully strange about John Kerry's forehead. So take a break and go back and enjoy a little of December 2002.
