THE FUTURE WAS WIDE OPEN

It's been a busy January, but I think I'll be able to update more frequently from now on. As some or (let's not kid ourselves) all readers are aware, I've decided to close my original, more combative and once-primary blog, Armed Prophet. I'll say no more about it here, as I've said plenty about it over there.

What is relevant about that back here? Just the question of how much this blog will change. At Armed Prophet I was a center-right pundit; at the Canard I've been writing a narrative. So, will I become more political here? Perhaps. But not much. This has always been an opinionated blog (a redundant phrase) but not a very partisan or argumentative one. I think that will remain the case. But I reserve the right to change course from this policy, at any moment, as I see fit. And I reserve the right to reinstate that policy once again.

The Canard will also undergo a minor facelift in coming days or weeks, or whenever I get around to it. As you can already see, the Capitol dome that's graced the upper-left hand corner of this page for the better part of a year has been replaced by a version of the photograph that used to occupy the same space at the Prophet. But it won't be permanent; I intend to rotate pictures on a basis to be determined later.

I think that's all there is to say. Welcome back.
