I've been drifting away from politics as a specific blog focus, mostly because I've reached a saturation point of how deep into it I want to look. There's only so many things in politics you can be surprised or impressed or disgusted by before you become jaded, and who wants to walk around their entire life being jaded? Too many people play politics and governing as a game, and it's not really a game, nor is it something I want to play as a game, and so I have been turning off of the topic.
I'll be taking this blog into different directions after election day - which directions I can't say for certain, but a more open topic space of things that interest me - and although I may post about politics from time to time, that will no longer be the focus by design. I'll keep the acronym, because its meaning over time has become lost to most and so it could be anything I want at this point, including Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers On Tomato Diet, and few would be the wiser. And the old posts will stay - but that is it.
Most bloggers should have some sort of external measure that helps them finalize such a decision, and mine is this:
12 comments on 35 posts in the past week.
Hopefully that will improve as I post less about what I find more interesting, and hopefully so will the readers that stumble in. A blog should have more conversation.
