There have been no posts for quite some time, at least by the Universal Blogosphere Clock, because I decided I was recycling excellent work and emphasizing it more than offering anything of substance.  I decided it was time to re-think what the blog should be, even to the point of its name.  That process is incomplete but it is taking place.

So why a post today that emphasizes and interprets work done by Pew Research?  All I can offer is that conclusion that struck me was too important not to distribute.  I will decide what to do with the blog but not, I hope, lose my interest in public policy and government effectiveness.

And that’s the story.
