So I, Danny Colligan, have decided to start a new blog. You may ask, “Danny, why would you start a new blog when you already have a few of them?” There are a few reasons for this:

• My interests and political positions have significantly changed since I started my previous blogs
• I want the style of this blog to be more professional and thorough than my previous political blog, which was more a collection of brief (sometimes ignorant/paranoid) notes instead of commentary
• Uploading and editing raw html, which is what I was doing for a while, is getting tiresome
• Blogspot is terrible, and WordPress Posterous is much better software (I'm trying out Posterous instead of WordPress for the time being since WordPress does not offer a rich text based editor on their free web hosting platform -- and, one can post by email... score!)

So, hopefully there will be something worth reading on this site in the not too distant future.
