The quarter is winding down, and I'm getting busier. Thus, the lack of blogging. I'll be in-and-out of the blog for the next three weeks.

Read my blogging associate Kelly's stuff. He's smarter than me, anyway.

I'm going to vomit a few thoughts before I get back to work:

I hope that Kelly will post something about what's going on in Haiti -- did the US oust Aristide, how can a country not have enough to eat but have enough to revolt, etc. -- because frankly, I don't understand the whole situation. All of the newspaper articles in the world don't have all of the exposition. Normally, I'd Google around and read as much about it as possible, but right now, I simply don't have time, and I'd prefer not to wait until next week's issue of The Nation to tell me what I'm supposed to think about it, either.

Tonight's Super Tuesday, which should turn out to be as predictable as Sunday's Oscars. There's really nothing else to say about that, except that if people are flipping a coin to decide between Kerry and Edwards, your bias will show.

Our Illinois primary is two weeks from today. I'm still voting for Dean -- the primary is my only chance to vote my heart and send a message to the DNC.

Just a reminder, though, that Kerry may be the obvious nominee by March 16th, but we all still have to get out and vote. We have a contentious Senate race. I'm now committed to voting for Barack Obama, who has been endorsed by the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune. As for alleged wifebeater Blair Hull, the Trib has the same opinion as I do:

The editorial criticizes Obama's opponent, front-runner Blair Hull, asking Democrats just how well they know this candidate. "[Hull] has inserted himself in the Democratic Party largely by showering money on political candidates," states the editorial. "Is this the resume Democrats want to offer to the state in November?"

And before you accuse me of pulling a Fox News, (1) I did say "alleged," and (2) I've never touted my journalistic integrity.

Okay, back to work. If you have anything to say, tell me, and I may just post it.
