1) I have been busy and needed a break from politics.

2) I think Obama is doing mostly fine but needs to get this health care thing done. More later.

3) For those that have known me a long time, I think that Up in the Air has replaced Grand Canyon as my favorite flick of all time. It comes out next week on DVD and Blu-Ray so check it out yourself.

4) I’m just busy.

5) Political rants will start again soon. Here’s my general view. I said last year that the Republicans would pick up some seats in the House in 2010. That’s normal. I think the Senate is up for debate in terms of the future outlook. The Republicans are suggesting that they might win 10 seats and take it back. I think they’ll be lucky to get 3 in the end. We’ll see. More on this in the coming weeks.

Go see Up in the Air. I’ll write about that next and then the campaign after that.
