WHERE HAS THE PUNDIT GONE???

I know. I have not posted since December 2. Tiger Woods. The story has gotten a lot better since then. 14 alleged mistresses. Soon he will have played a whole round of 18.

And it's not as if things have not happened in that interval. The Copenhagen fiasco, the U.S. health care circus, the slumping in the polls President, the emergence of Alberta's new political "party" - the "Wildrose Alliance", amongst others. So I cannot blame this silence on the lack of things to "pundificate" on. Maybe it has been exam setting, exam marking, brutally cold weather, endless snow shovelling, a a trip here and there which has just frozen my "pundicasity".

In a couple of days, we head out to Phoenix and then to India on a 6 month sabbatical leave. When we are settled down, I will be back with the "punditry". First from Phoenix, and then hopefully from our travels in India.

I apologize to those who have frustratingly checked the ITP daily only to find a absence of any "pundifications". Soo.. here's the plan. I will be absent from my world of "pundalatry" for at least a week more. Trying to "pundulate" in a Motel 6 in Twin Falls, Sweetgrass, or even Salt Lake, is too stressful for this ITP. But I promise.. by the first week in January, you will be grateful for my past silence because I will be back in full throttle. For one thing, I will have FOX NEWS to watch, and that always gets my pundit juices flowing.

So.. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all that. You can stop looking for a week or so.

Now.. back to marking.

  2. LEWIS SHOULD SHOW UP

    When I first hear that Lewis Klar was "snow shovelling", I was pretty shocked. That would have been a big story. Shovelling could have ended his career, and that would have been big and bad news, not only for Lewis but for the blogging world.

    When it became clear that Klar was not seriously shovelling, and the story changed, I began to lose interest.

    What interests me more now is Lewis Klar's behaviour since the shovelling. If Lewis Klar did not want to blog, which is apparently his legal right, he should have had the decency to come out and say it in the first place.

    Granted, he probably is in n
    o mental condition to blog. But not to show up at all?

    Klar cannot hide forever. He will have to face the music soon enough. Get over it Lewis! Come out and support your own Ivory Tower Pundit. Be a man.
