Deb Yoder is examines her dearth of posting on her blog:

I’ve decided that the problem is that the news just isn’t that exciting at the moment. I’m very grateful for that, but it’s playing hell with my writing. Seems pointless to be one more voice talking about what an asshat John Kerry is, and I’m not terribly inclined to tackle the gay marriage thing in any sort of comprehensive or meaningful way. Not that I’ll probably be able to stop myself indefinitely, but the more I read, the more annoyed I get, I rather pride myself on not sounding like I’ve come completely unhinged when I post, and frankly, my door is propped against the wall and I’m thinking I might not bother going to the hardware store at this point.

Everyone needs a break at some point. Even I am tired of the news, which cycles between “gay stuff,” John Kerry, The Economy™, Mel Gibson, well, we all know the drill. However, I don’t consider anything I post “irrelevant” and here at One Fine Jay dot com you can count on me to post about the things that interest me. Selfish, I know, but life is too short, and my brain is too active, for me to start worrying about what is relevant or not to you all, dear friends. I am to entertain and enlighten, but above those I aim to just mix it up and have fun.
