While I've Been Preoccupied

I'm ashamed to admit that nearly three weeks have gone by since my last blog post about the Huckabee campaign. In the interim, he has leapfrogged into place as an (the?) undeniable frontrunner in the GOP primary, according to a plethora of polls. Perhaps Huckabee is better off the less I blog? :(

But hoping this unhappy theory has no basis in fact, I apologize to readers for my long absence. I have been extremely busy at work, and Christmas preparations have consumed all my time not taken up by work. It is an unfortunately reality for those in my line of work that Congressmen suddenly decide around now that they ought to be able to tell their constituents they did something this year (particularly certain Senators as the Presidential primaries approach), just as everyone else is trying to get their Christmas shopping done.

Until the troublemakers clear out of town, I don't expect to catch up on the blog. But until then, I highly recommend to my readers interested in Catholic social teaching the following pair of articles on Catholic Online:

Commentary: Huckabee and Catholics
and
Exclusive Interview: Gov. Huckabee Speaks with Catholic Online

Until next time, may you have a blessed Advent! I hope you have done a better job preparing your heart for the coming of Christ than I have.
