Well….I guess this will be a short post. It’s sort of like walking into an empty room. Hello? Hello?
As you may have guessed, I had no reply from Mr. Mfume or his handlers. So I’m not going to know for at least the time being where he stands on these specific questions I asked all the candidates.
And I guess I can vamp a little bit. For whatever reason, I’m just not into a lot of the issues that are circulating through the other local blogs. I’ve spent some effort on getting the Ten Questions going and the hopefully upcoming Political Calendar started, and I’ve just not been paying as much attention as perhaps I should be.
So in a sense I’ve been taking a Delmarva Dealings-style break. Aside from the letter to the editor in Friday’s paper, I guess the cat’s had my tongue lately on political topics. I have a few irons in the fire, but nothing has really compelled me to write a lot lately on these subjects. It’s certainly not the lack of opinions, just a sort of writer’s block – how can I make these interesting to myself and to the readers?
But I hate to take time away from the blog, because I know I do have some loyal hardcore readers who enjoy it. So I’ll persevere onward – besides, the one nice thing about having various regular features in different topics is that I get to write on at least two subjects – politics and baseball. Throw in a dash of photography, which I enjoy (by the way, the Memorial Day pix I promised are now on my Flickr site) and it’s not like I write about the same things each day.
So I suppose I should apologize to Kweisi Mfume for taking “his” spot. But he didn’t use it and why let good server space go to waste?
