Dear readers:
I hate to do this to you again so soon, but I am going to call another hiatus on mouseandhat [...]

Anyone familiar with my blog to this point would probably consider today's post a step away from the usual content. Yes, today I am going to talk about something I rarely discuss: POLITICS.
