My plans for this blog are simple. I'm going to mouth off on it about my opinions on politics on the assumption that my views are no less worthwhile than anyone else's.
Writing on this subject involves a certain conceit, though it doesn't require being conceited. It wouldn't hurt. It's just that the latter isn't required.
My qualifications for this self-selected job are the same as those possessed by folks like Rush Limbaugh or Sean on the Right and Randi Rhodes or Rachel Maddow on the Left. I have deep and great respect for one of those four, but you'll have to guess or figure out which one. The qualifications possessed by all of those august characters (though this is written in January) and me are: None.
I don't know what qualifies you to be a pundit or columnist or blogger, except that you've had a long interest in a subject and someone's told you that you seem to know what you're talking about. That's happened to me just as it's happened to them.
OK, the numbers are probably a little different, but that's not the point.
I'm guessing that only one of us majored in Political Science, but that's not really a qualification either.
So you get to decide. Find me interesting or find me boring. Only one person can decide for you, and if I have to tell you who that is, you may not be qualified to judge me anyway.

Welcome to my world.
