I can haz a blog?

My freinds have blogs. My wife has a blog. My favorite authors all have blogs. In fact, some of my favorite authors don't author anything but blogs. I was starting to feel a little left out.

I've tried the blog thing before, and failed, so, uh, what the hell, here's attempt number three. Because I have read (on other blogs, where else) that the easiest way to stay consistent with your blog is to have a theme I've settled on one: The Audacity of Hope by Senator Barrack Obama.

I plan to read this 288 page book, which in addition to being an autobiography has been described as a blueprint for Sen. Obama's presidency, and I'm going to blog my way through it. One chapter at a time. So this blog will serve as a sort of extended book report, and maybe if it attracts any kind of readership this blog can act as a kind of extended internet book club.

A quick bit of background, I'm a self-described conservative. I align myself pretty strongly with conservitive ideals (life, liberty, property) and organizations (NRA, Pink Pistols, NRLC). So I'm going to be approaching the book with that point of view in mind...

Does this mean that I am biased? Yes. Of course it does. Does that matter? Yes. Of course it does... if you want to read a review of the man's book by his sychophants there are plenty of other websites and blogs for that. So go read them.

I'll interupt my book report with posts about other thigns that catch my interest. I'll also probably try to pad my post-count with funny pictures and assorted snark.If this blog lasts past December, or attracts one reader, I'll consider it a huge success.
