American Power in 2011

I almost forgot to post my annual New Year's Day report. Last year's is here. Not too much to add except that I'm actually going through the process of mortgage modification, and I don't know the outcome yet. There's a chance my family might have to move out of this house and start over. But at this point I'm fine with whatever happens. If you follow the link above that'll take you to my 2009 New Year's Day report, where I discussed my family's financial situation at that time. I had a lot of anxiety back then. Now not so much. Let it ride, I guess.

In other news: I've started writing a book. I'll update as I make more progress, but it'll be a semi-autobiographical analysis of ideological change in American politics, with special attention to trends in resurgent anarcho- and neo-communism on the progressive left. And blogging will continue, as always. I wrote 3,384 entries in 2010. I don't know if I'll keep up that pace, but there'll be lots of hot commentary and analysis in the months ahead.
