I just wanted to take a minute to say a quick "thank you" to everyone who's visited this little experiment of mine over the past week or so.
Since starting Deus Ex Malcontent two-and-a-half years ago, I've never concentrated on one specific topic for an extended period of time; I've always made it a point to be sure that you can never tell from one day to the next what you'll find here. I don't doubt that I'll be back to my usual scattershot hijinks some time in the near future, but I admit that right now I'm as pissed-off as I've ever been and feel like I have to address what's eating me alive -- the ascendency of Sarah Palin and what it could mean for the future of this nation -- in the hope, however small, of changing things for the better.
Bottom line: This is important.
Right now, this upcoming election is more important than anything else I could possibly write about.
Apparently you think so as well, since the daily traffic around here lately has been staggering. You've been reading, commenting and e-mailing in numbers that leave me shocked and very, very humbled. Not only that, but quite a few of you have been donating money via the electronic tip jar and buying my book, Dead Star Twilight. I can't begin to express my gratitude for this kindness. Obviously, this site is free to readers and always will be, but it's true that since being fired by CNN I've given Deus Ex Malcontent my nearly undivided attention (placing only my family above my responsibilities here). It's gone from being a hobby to being an honest-to-God full-time job -- albeit one I'm not getting paid for, which is why your donations and purchases, though not necessary, are so appreciated.
This site means a lot to me.
I'm glad it means something to you too.
Thanks for reading.
