Gorilla loves to write, loves his blog, but also gets weary going over the same old issues that never get resolved.
For example, who cares who wins the Know Nothing party nomination? Absent a total economic breakdown in the next 6 months, President Obama should cruise to reelection.
Who cares about the US budget deficit? Actually, no one in power cares, but they’re stuck in a doom loop narrative of their own creation.
Cruise ships? Can’t be bothered.
Various Middle Eastern civil wars and other conflicts? Honestly, it’s great to see a somewhat fitful march towards democracy, but there’s no US national security interest involved in the region that doesn’t begin and end with oil.
So, Gorilla’s not been as frequently topical thus far in 2012.
