About The Blogroll
It was just easier to start it from scratch.
Since its inception, your humble host at The Carnival of Horror has undergone a transformation or two. Along the way, I picked up readers, lost readers, went on several extended leaves and, picked up readers, became more radicalized, lost more readers and - well, you get the idea. In the process, I got de-linked from several sites, while other sites fell stagnant or disappeared altogether.
I don't take any of it personally, and I hope no one else does, either.
Looking around, I see a parting of the Lefty Seas, with the Democratic Party Faithful falling behind - or, rather, remaining behind, its so-called leadership; and others of us who are less forgiving of the rubberstamping and ticket-taking that has defined the Democrats in both Houses of Congress throughout the lawless regime which has brazenly refused, with no consequences, to submit to the checks and balances fundamental to achieving something resembling a true democratic republic.
That chasm can be expected to grow as Campaign '08 cranks up against the backdrop of an illegal, immoral, seemingly intractable war being waged by a nation which - without anything that could be considered a fight - has turned its back on the Constitution and casually acccepted that the rule of man now exists where the rule of law - with all its imperfections - once stood.
And, so, in that spirit, I decided to basically wipe out my blogroll and start over. I've gotten a lot surlier since my earliest days (and I started pretty prickly) - and I am basically no friend of any political party, even if I count many a partisan as personal friends. So, if you're looking for a Democratic Comrade, I'm not your man. If you're looking for a progressive ally, that's a different story. Either way, visitors who would like a sidebar link added or removed from The Carnival of Horror are encouraged to drop me a line.
