You might be wondering why I have been relatively silent of late on many of the issues of the day- immigration, Iran, the Moussaoui trial, Republican malfeasance in its many forms, etc., etc. The truth is I feel like I need a different forum- one that isn’t expressly Chicago-centric- in which to air those thoughts and questions.

So I created one.

I’ll continue to post here at Metroblogging Chicago, which has been a source of daily inspiration, but I’ll also range a bit further afield at my new home, ‘my friends call me nikkos.’

Stop by and say howdy!
