Overwhelmed?

Last night’s victory by Barack Hussein Obama was history in the making.

He’s the first African-American President-elect.

He’s young.

He’s likely to have a very unique way of doing things.

And he’ll probably enjoy two terms.

And election season is over.  For now.

The last two months have proven to be a massive distraction for my regular work, but I’ve enjoyed following the Canadian and US elections, along with the growing financial ‘crisis’.  I still plan on posting stories regularly and sharing my thoughts, as I now have the great privilege of sharing these thoughts with a decent-sized audience (I’m getting about 5,000 unique visitors per month).

My question to you is what you’d like to see me cover with this site.  The defining objective of the site (covering stories related to ‘excited delirium’ and taser issues) has been blown waaaaay out of proportion.  While I still try to sneak in a story or two about Tasers, I’ve ‘branched out’ into a number of topics that I feel comfortable discussing with you, including:  the economic stories; issues related to taxation; election coverage; the odd conspiracy; and so on.  I believe that these stories are still all connected, in that they have lots to do with ‘shock economics’ and ‘disaster capitalism’, terms that Naomi Klein has made ubiquitous.

I almost feel like things are going to jerk to a halt, but I know they won’t.  I’ll find lots of case studies and examples of what’s insane about this world, but I also want to start to explore the positive.  I have a category called ‘the Future’.  I just don’t seem to use it much.

What are your stories about the future?  Green/organic/natural/local?  People doing good things?  Good marketing stories that you want to tell the world about?

And what would we call them in order to keep them consistent with the theme of ‘excited delirium’?

Finally, what would you like me to cover as we get closer to Obama taking over the White House in January?  More cynicism, which I seem to be cut out for, or stories about the future?  Or a combination of both?

Please share your thoughts when you’ve got a chance.

Thanks and keep reading!

Bill.
