After a two-month sabbatical, the blog returns, hopefully with a purpose and more posts.
It seems the pages of my calendar are flying off at break-neck speed. College football is a quarter of the way through, President Obama has used up all of his political capital in less than a year, the Braves have a chance at the wild-card and summer has come and gone.
The weather is cool in Atlanta today and this type of weather reminds me of the beginning of the fall semesters at Furman. Specifically it reminds me of standing in the student section of Paladin Stadium and cheering until my throat was raw. It is fitting that I’ll be heading back to Furman for the Elon game this weekend. It’s a huge game for either team since it’s the first big conference game of the year. Whomever wins this match-up will be in the driver’s seat in the SoCon. With that being said, maybe I should stay away. The Paladins have been playing well without me there, so maybe I’ll be some sort of jinx. Hopefully not, but I guess we’ll see.
This will be a brief post, but I do want to link to an article that sheds light onto the great shift that has occurred in the past 10 months. A Wall Street Journal editorial speaks about France’s President Sarkozy and his stand on Iran’s nuclear attempt. The editorial is here. In short, President Sarkozy’s stand is much tougher than President Obama’s attempt at appeasement (see missile shield scrapped in Poland). I wonder what President Obama’s next apology or appeasement will be. I’m warily awaiting the drop of the other shoe.
