dkos opened me up to political blogging, and i still love reading there, but the scale of it is overwhelming, it lacks immediacy also because of the time difference.
so when ET formed, i heard about it from jerome's sig, came over to check it out, and here it is.
dkos' firehose is one of the reasons you won't find me amid the growth-pumpers here. i like a peaceful neighbourhood, where you get to know people, and that gets swirled away so easily as popularity grows. what's the point of a decent diary if it's swamped and buried by 500 more that are less than essential?
nationality wise, i'm half italian, half brit, and (n)ever the twain shall meet... ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
