Update

Sorry for the light blogging of late. A few factors have contributed to this:

1. Leaving for vacation soon and trying to get everything in order before I go.

2. News coming out of Iran has been stifled greatly by the oppressive regime putting the clamp down on foreign journalists and social networking sites (and the distribution of false information on these sites as well by regime insiders).

3. I am not a health care policy wonk and thus have little to say regarding Obama's plans for revamping our system. I really do hope to learn more at some point, it is just such a vast and opaque sea of confusion for me, so no use in trying to offer commentary at this point.

I hope to get a few good posts in before I go, and am investigating the possibility of blogging from the azure seas of the Caribbean.
