Welcome To My Mind

On a small scale, I have been wowing people with my bold assessment, and general grasp of the political world for about two years now. After some of my more famous (or brazen if you will) predictions and analysis have proven to be reliable, people have asked me to put my thought into words. I have been asked by many people to start a blog, yet it never seemed interesting to me. About a month back I predicted the next President while I was talking to a local radio personality, one who I have been talking with for quite a number of months. He rejected my ideas and protested slightly before asking me to "hang on the line." Once the commercials began, the host came on and told me I needed to start writing my thoughts down and "get them out." Later in the week, while this was floating in my head, a friend of mind reminded me about my Mitt Romney prediction. Back when Mitt Romney looked like he was fairly comfortable presiding over Massachusetts, I raised eyebrows by saying that he was going to run for the Presidency in 2008. This was not so surprising considering people have been speculating such actions for a few years except I said it with absolute certainty. Suddenly, Romney announces he is running for President, and all eyes turn on me.

In the past, I have made some reckless predictions with varying amounts accuracy. More often than not, I try to stay away from predictions and work more with the analysis of the events that are at hand. My intention is to address weekly an event that I see in the news or something that has been on my mind. I will editorialize, and you will disagree with me. I hope you will disagree with me; otherwise this will be a very boring side project for me. I like differing views, but be forewarned, I do not dabble with quibbling, and will not tolerate ignorant personal attacks. I will try to address any comments, questions, and the likes there of in a timely fashion, but please remember, my postings and time spent here with commentary is a side project to my life and family. Further, if you can not be respectful, your posts will not be listed, nor responded to. You may disagree with me, and I hope you do. I would love to have a debate at any respectable level you wish so long as we can agree that we will be adults. We also have to agree to disagree at time. (Lord knows my wife and daughter disagree with me frequently!)

With that said … Welcome to my Mind … It's a very scary place.
