I think we’re good to go. I really think so. Everything seems to be in its proper place, if that’s possible. We’ve found a theme and sidebar widgets which Mike and I seem to agree on, and someone capable of making us agree on design issues is worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. And the truly amazing part – it took us only six days since the blog opened to reach this laudable state of functionality. It had been basically ready for three or four days now, but the two of us, being the lazy bastards that we are, deigned to post. Perhaps it was because we had no interesting subject matter, but personally I think the cause is simple: as I mentioned earlier, we’re lazy. It is my profound hope that blogging as a team will help us overcome this weakness, but you never know…
Moving on, I suppose I should write something on politics, since that was supposedly one of this blog’s core topics, so I’ll try to put something together. Although I certainly have strong opinions on the subject, I really don’t keep up with the news as much as I should (my distinct lack of a working television can make it difficult), so it fell on the capable shoulders of Nick and Ethan to inform me that apparently, Wisconsin seems to have seriously, if not definitively, hurt Hillary’s chances of winning. Since both the aforementioned Ethan and Nicholas had written a post on the subject and their respective opinions, I felt compelled to throw in my two cents. I am hardly a supporter of our dear Mrs. Clinton myself, and a part of me is very, very happy to see her chances decrease, but another part of me would prefer any member of the Democratic party, which I find myself heartily supporting, over republicans such as John McCain, the Senator Palpatine of our age. However, my pronounced dislike of Hillary eventually won the internal debate, and I find myself profoundly happy for her loss, and I’ll end on that joyous note.
In our almost-daily Instant Messaging session, Mike mentioned something about putting together an instructional article on how you, the reader, can keep their computer desktop clean, stylish, and neat, so I felt I should alert you to expect that in the near future as well.
Until we meet again, I leave you with this XKCD comic, which reminds me of myself to an almost frightening degree.

I definitely share your sentiments on the topic. Thanks for the promotion of our blog too.

I’m definitely glad the likelihood is Obama will be the Democratic cantidate. I don’t hate Hillary Clinton, but for one, she’s a bit too far left for me. Obama seems like he’s not trying to be a hardcore Democrat or Republican, but instead to win, and to improve our country. That’s out of the two potential candidates that have any chance to win, that is. I’m sure he has his flaws as well.

See, to me, Hillary is too right-wing for my crypto-anarchist tastes. I suppose the same could be said for Obama, but I certainly favour him over McCain, Bush, and their Republican ilk.
Do I even make sense?

I don’t get it. You’re criticizing the political left for being too right-wing for your tastes, because you’re secretly an anarchist? I’m slightly scared now, Hawk. O_o

Yeah, to tell you the truth, I don’t really know what I was saying…my mind was broken at the time.
Watch. Now.
