One-Finger Salute

Return

Ok... I am resurrecting this blog, one might say, although it never technically "died". A more stable living situation has enabled me to return to writing more. You will find lengthier, more "intellectual" analyses here, while shorter, less intellectual and more vitriolic commentary on news will be found at the "other blog".

The few people who have ever been here will notice that the name has changed. This is the blog formerly known as "A Castoff Cigarette Butt", a name borrowed from a chapter heading in Zamyatin's classic novel We. Why the name change? Let's just say that you might be shocked by what kinds of searches some people are performing on the internet. Most people entering the word "butt" into Google are not interested in far-left political analysis. This new arrangement is mutually beneficial both for me and my unwitting, pornography-seeking audience. And why "One-Finger Salute"? It reflects, among other things, my utopian vision of the United States in the future: millions of Americans, marching out of step and saluting the president, their local religious leaders, media experts and other such pricks in the fashion they most richly deserve.

So, to new readers, I say welcome. To the 1 or 2 readers who kept checking in while I was away, I say thank you. And to both, I salute you.
