Without further adieu, I’m pleased to present my endorsements for the 2009 Houston election.

This, honestly, is such a tiny thing that it should be well beneath our notice. We aren’t arguing legislation here, we’re name calling. We aren’t talking about character issues or foreign policy. This isn’t scandal most juicy. This isn’t a debate. There’s nothing at stake. There is, in short, nothing worth mentioning.

But here we are. This is what we choose to spend our time with. This is how we conduct ourselves. This is how we behave. These are the things that are important to us and occupy our time.

I apologize for the lack of new content this last week. I’ve been going through a rather difficult time in the real world and it’s really gotten me pretty depressed and sapped any real desire to write recently. I’ve sat down three times to try and get something out today and it’s just not coming and it’s been like this for over a week now. So, rather than force out some random junk I’m not really happy with, I think I’m just going to have to settle for an apology and a promise that I’ll be back to posting as soon as I can be.
