Post 0.1

So, this weblog is a way for me to express my interest in politics and world events without resorting to my usual method of getting drunk and ranting to friends who have stopped pretending they give a damn.

I'll post links to stories that I consider important and/or under-reported. Hopefully, it'll help me to focus my understanding and arguments so if I ever revert back to my old ways I'll at least be able to cite a few sources.

Even if no one reads or cares, I hope to keep this site humorous and relevant. Wish me luck!
