Welcome one and all!

Let me introduce myself to all you good people. My blogger handle is Ulysses because I hail from Ithaca. Ithaca, New York, that is-- a small upstate college town, not the beautiful Greek island made famous by Homer. While my own personal ambitions are small, the scope of this blog is much more expansive. The hope is that folks can come here for a dose of stimulating information, debate, and analysis every day. They should also find links galore to other blogs, noteworthy news items, and get a chance to comment on the increasingly absurd antics of Dubya, his cronies, and other assorted wingnuts.
