What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Feb. 20, 2008 at 5:32 p.m.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling cheap, abandoned, used, abused and forgotten. It feels like I just took the dreaded "walk of shame" in my own house.

I went to check the answering machine (which is what I call voice mail, because nobody I know has an answering machine any more), and it was completely empty. There were no calls from presidential candidates Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Mike Huckabee or any of their supporters.

The e-mails I was getting from Sen. John Kerry and some nice folks on the Republican side suddenly stopped, too.

It seems that now the Wisconsin primary is over and they want to forget about us.

Well, I'm just going to forget about them... until the fall, when they start calling again.
