News, and More News

So…let’s start with the good: I found a job. A good job. A better job. And let me just say: phew! Relaxation can now commence.

In other news, and not to jump on the wow-what-a-segue bandwagon, but this will be my last post. I’m retiring, again, from blogging.

A couple of reasons behind that: first, with me starting a new job, I’m just not gonna have the time. There are some other reasons I won’t get into, but bottom line is that it’s time for me to hang this up. I’ll keep up with the blogs I read, but I’ll basically be incommunicado for a good long while. No emails, comments, texts, or calls. I need some time apart. After some time, I might dabble, or resurrect the name. Time will tell. But Hank is no more.

I feel like MooCow.

Let’s Get Political (For a Second)

Now, I normally don’t post politics. It happens, and long-time readers know I’m a stark-raving far-right lunatic fairly conservative. It’s highly likely I will never say anything nice about anything our President says or does over the next four, or heaven forbid eight, years.

Except for this.

I saw Arne Duncan on Meet the Press last week, and have been meaning to blog about it every since. Wow, was he awesome. I wanted to go out and change my vote in the last election to Obama, just so I could say that I helped put that man in charge of Education. The man might have single-handedly changed my opinion about whether we need a federal DOE (having 50 state ones already). I’d support the DOE just so he’d have a job.

I hope it’s not just talk. It takes a lot for a politician to overcome my natural cynicism of, well, politicians. But he did it. He was articulate, passionate, knowledgeable, and right.

I just figured out why I liked him so much: he sounded…conservative.

Go on iTunes and look at the Meet the Press from last week.
