Mea Culpa
Mea maxima culpa or whatever the latin is I have no idea
Last May, we here at Seditious Conspiracy promised a rollicking new season of legal and political commentary, with minimal distraction. We even had plans for an occasional podcast. That turned out to be a lie. And I’m sorry about that. So here’s why.
I got a very late call to join the political science department at the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. That’s right—just as I had gotten genuinely comfortable with the unemployed polemicist gig, I got a job. Goddamit. Best laid plans…
On the other hand, that’s right, someone of policymaking authority at the California State University system has had the bright idea to entrust your boy with hundreds of California’s brightest and most impressionable young minds: teaching the mandatory general education introduction to American government. Who thought that was a good idea?
Obviously, I have had precious little no free time for the past few months. But that is finally starting to change. I might have time to read for fun a little this evening instead of just prepare class material, though let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Over the next few weeks, I will try to get Seditious Conspiracy back up and running with biweekly and then (hopefully) weekly posts. It will probably look more like brief reflections on my weeks’ class material, rather than the longer-form essays of yore. Though, maybe that will be a good thing.
In sum, thanks to all four of you still here. It’s been quite a summer/fall.
