Should we take this party back to facebook?

I was out with Houston and Laura last night (happy b-day!) and i asked whether or not they thought the blog was a good idea, and if they thought I should continue it. Both (I may be recalling this incorrectly, curse you Bitter&Twisted) said they did not like the idea of having their opinions and ideas out for all the world to see and certainly not in any form that will come back and haunt them years from now when they are running for political office/department chair/have children/seek Papal appointments/etc.

And since I was the one doing most of the posting anyway:

Should we return to Facebook and begin a new thread including Mr. Murphy?
Are there good reasons beyond those already mentioned to quit the blog format?
Or do we permute and do both? I can post to the blog from time to time, but Facebook is the primary site?
What say you? Leave feedback on this in comments or on other posts.

Paul Volker is a BAMF

"Sen. Mike Johanns (R., Neb.) accused the White House of trying to add the Volcker Rule onto an already confusing proposal.

Mr. Volcker’s response:

“I tell you sure as I am sitting here, that if banking institutions are protected by the taxpayer and they are given free reign to speculate, I may not live long enough to see the crisis, but my soul is going to come back and haunt you.”  "
