Voters deserve a timely count

My normal beat is local politics. If I can, I like to throw in a splash of state and national items and some backdoor philosophy and kibitzing, but this time of year is what I call the political doldrums. The elections are over, the holidays are around the corner and everyone in the public eye is just tuckered out. Professional and college football dominates the news and the NBA is embarking on their meaningless regular season. I call it the longest set of exhibition games in the history of humanity. It's difficult to get worked up about anything political this time of the year, so I thought you might be interested in how I write my columns.
