Mid-Term Elections and TLJ's New Weblog

Hi Everyone,

The mid-term elections are over now, and we'll have a new Congress in January. Everyone wonders what will happen: recognizable steps forward, or the more things change, the more things stay the same? As always, we have something to look forward to, and the prospect for constructive action is a little less discouraging now than it was a few months ago. Let's see what the Baker-Hamilton study group and the Democratic caucus can offer us.

In the meantime, software to help people publish on the web continues to improve. Blogger's tools underwent some substantial changes recently. Of course I had to start poking around the new environment to try things out. It took some time, but it was kind of fun.

By the time I was done, TLJ on the web had a new look and much better navigation. In particular, have a look at an article I posted before the election called Mid-Term Elections and New Leadership. Many of us hold some guarded hopes about the Democrats now, but the article's rather more realistic outlook is something to keep in mind.

Here's a last item about TLJ on the web: I've separated the links and other resources from the articles for easier reading and improved organization. You can browse the links at The Last Jeffersonian Supplement. As always, please write with your ideas for articles, as well as other comments you might have. Thanks, and happy Thanksgiving!
