Welcome back to the Barricades

Welcome back to the Barricades. After a hiatus of several years -- there is no truth to the rumor that I was hijacked by Jon Bruning's office -- I'm writing again.

When I started the first To The Barricades, there were maybe 100 credible political blogs on both sides. Now there are millions. I have no illusions that I can compete with Daily Kos or even The Plattsmouth World Blog. But, just as I did with the first To The Barricades, I write for myself, not for anyone else. You gotta question or comment, it may inspire me to get up on my soapbox. But in general I write what I feel. That may run the gamut from commentary on the Presidential campaign (now that's a novel idea for a blog...) to the death of irony.

But join me at the Barricades. It's not as hazardous as it was back in 2000 when I started the first one. But I hold out hope. Maybe we'll all wind up on one of the Emperor's lists.
