Not because I've grown jaded or cynical or tired of all the bullshit the Bush administration is passing around like so many cheap hors d'oeuvres, though at least one of those is true.<br /><br />I've signed a contract to work on a short-term project for an organization which, while expressly allowing political participation by its employees as long as they act as private citizens, doesn't explicitly mention blogging as one of those permissible forms of participation. Though I'd never mention the organization by name here on the blog, if one of my associates or managers there Googled me and discovered I was still spouting my very public opinions while under their employment...eh, I'd be less than comfortable with that.<br /><br />It's an ostensibly nonpartisan organization, but I've decided to play it safe, more out of concern for the reputation of the person on whose project I'm assisting than any concern for my own employment. So it's not as if my silence has been purchased (although I'm willing to entertain offers--we could use a new washing machine).<br /><br />I'll still be blogging over at <a href="http://www.jerismithready.com/blog">jerismithready.com</a>. Hope to see you there, and back here again in three to six months. Until then, please patronize the fine people on my blogroll to get your daily doses of vitriolic insights.
