Prospero Año: Alas, I'm back. As much of a news junkie that I am, being sequestered with my decidedly apolitical family has kept me out of the loop for a full two weeks. Instead, I enjoyed fun-filled days of Sponge Bob Square Pants marathons with my 7-year-old niece.

Coming back, it doesn't appear that I missed much. Experts are still predicting that Dean has already wrapped up the Democratic nomination but will get trounced in the general election, even though we have another 10 months before Election Day, and the primaries aren't even over yet. I don't even recall whether Bush has made his official "announcement" that he's running for re-election. Isn't he supposed to do that first? Or can we just accept the obvious and spare him a day of free positive media coverage?

I also find that I am incredibly behind on my work here at my real job. Vacation is great, but the amount of work you have to do doesn't go away. You just have less time to do it.

I'll be scouring through the news and posting late entries on occasion.

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!
