You might have noticed the domain name change. Here's the rationale:

I've decided to stop writing about Michigan politics, because I moved away from MI and the subject honestly hasn't invigorated me in a while. I was trying to force writing about it when I should not have, and my writing quality and post frequency greatly suffered.

I guess I was first motivated to blog about Michigan politics when I was an intern, but didn't really have a creative outlet. So, I turned to blogging to have a voice in the political process that I wouldn't have otherwise. At my current job, people actually listen to me, so I simply don't have that overwhelming urge to blog about politics anymore.

Moving forward, I'm going to break the two cardinal rules of building blog popularity: 1) Find a niche, and 2) Post regularly. I was doing fairly well when I focused on building readership (10% of Michlib traffic according to BlogAds, 80+ RSS subscribers), but it wasn't worth the investment when I could have just posted elsewhere for 20x the readership.

Instead, I'm going to post whatever I want whenever I feel like it, and say to hell with site traffic. I figure the blog will be much more fun, and interesting to read, that way. You can find my rare posts about Michigan politics at Michigan Liberal and Blogging for Michigan Quick Hits, and some of my posts about national politics at The Seminal.

For those of you who have been following my political blogging from the beginning, thank you. Your support has meant everything to me, and I am indebted to you in more ways than I can possibly express.
