"The hardest post I'll every write."Blogging is something you start to give voice to your thoughts. You develop a style, a shtick, a readership, and if you're lucky like me fall in with a great circle of like-minded people. But make no mistake, blogging is an addiction and one that is harder to break than you might think.This last week, I've found that my heart just isn't in it anymore. http://blognonymo.us/2007/10/kvatch-kalls-it-kwits.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kvatch)68tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13183464.post-9168068462895763683Fri, 12 Oct 2007 14:40:00 +00002007-10-12T07:48:24.797-07:00George Bush can try to explain it away by calling it a "skills gap". He can point to spectacular gains in the financial markets as a sign of economic health. But the gap between rich and poor continues to expand. It's wider now than at any time in the last century, and the sharpest increases have occurred since Bush took office in 2000.

Verizon reverses itself not 24 hours after it banned NARAL Pro-choice America's text messages from its mobile network.
