The Blog Must Die!

This is a bittersweet post to write, but I have to write it.

This blog is shutting it's (virtual) doors.

It has been so much fun, but really-I don't want to be in the closet anymore.

I'm really proud of my work, my opinions, my abilities as a writer and communicator. I'm so proud of all my blogging and writing friends who are fighting the fight under their own names and identities-putting themselves at risk professionally, financially and socially.

I'm proud to be associated with them and proud to be on their speed dials and e-mail chains.

There is a lot at stake nowadays, but I'm finally ready to just be who I am and take my lumps as necessary.

I won't delete the blog because there are lots of excellent links up here, and certainly some subjects that I will revisit in the coming months and years, so this will remain an archive of sorts.

If I do it right, you'll hear of me, and about me and hopefully continue to enjoy more of my work.

It has been my pleasure sharing links and thoughts with you.

I'm getting older, not younger and more set in my ways. We have a civilization battle on our hands. Andrew Breitbart is dead, he was only a couple years older than me-and that upset me more than I can really explain-and also solidified in my mind that the right thing to do is put my name to every single thing I think and not be intimidated by anyone, or afraid of any repercussions. He was a fighter, a real Macabee, and that's just gotta be the way I roll from now on.

Thank you for reading. It has been a pleasure-but I've got Very Important Things To Say and I'm just gonna be saying them from now on.
