Neglecting the Blog

Blogging will be sporadic these next weeks, as I should have perhaps pointed out before leaving Oaxaca and neglecting the blog for over a week. Please keep checking in for more about Oaxaca, tidbits from US politics as I reacquaint myself with what's happened over the summer, like how Congress has actually extended the President's power to spy on US citizens on US soil, and possibly even a couple new photographs as I sift through the shots I took this summer.

Congress Looking to Rally

Via ThinkProgress, news is out that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi plan to join together in an effort to get America out of Iraq. Seems they had to hear the bad news--disapproval ratings as high as 71%--before they felt convinced that Americans were ready to end the war. We'll wait and see how it all plays out.
