I Am Back

Ok, so sorry for the hiatus. The summer proved to be a little busier than expected. But I am back now and will be posting regularly (as in more than once a week).

There is a lot to anticipate this fall in domestic and foreign policy. The health care debate has heated up considerably over the summer, although to the dismay of many I happen to think that much of the momentum for sweeping reform has been lost. I hope to parse that issue fully in a subsequent post. Additionally the nation is in the the throes of a serious commitment evaluation with regard to our presence in Afghanistan. The renowned conservative commentator George Will has written two articles (here and here) that suggest that we should leave both Afghanistan and Iraq. As regular readers of this blog will know, I disagree strongly.

In addition to these pressing policy questions, there are a few big gubernatorial elections this November. I'll be watching both Virginia and New Jersey very closely.

I hope you'll stay around and read regularly. It's a pleasure to write for you and I've missed it this summer. I'll be glad to be back in the swing of things.
