So far, I have made only one blog post in 2009, which was back in January and basically consisted of me talking about how much I'd like to quit livejournal and start a new blog somewhere else.

So I'm quitting livejournal and starting a new blog somewhere else. I present to you:

The speculation on Obama's choice for VP is getting out of hand. Most sources seem to agree that the VP will be one of Joe Biden, Evan Bayh, or Tim Kaine with the slight possibility of Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
