f you've been reading my blog for long, you may have noticed a common trend across some of my larger pieces: a bit of text expressing background to the article and indicating that it is part of a larger, personal effort:

• "As part of my political agenda…"
• "As part of my endeavors toward evangelizing the free world…"
• "As part of my plan to stick it to the man…"

It doesn't take much review to realize that these are nonsensical statements, not to be taken literally, which serve as a form of unapparent signature when my articles are viewed individually, but which clearly mark my work when viewed as a whole.
