One thing that I’m not doing these days, and apparently don’t miss very much, is blogging about politics. I must admit that it feels good – perhaps the same way that it feels good when you stop hitting yourself in the head with a ball-peen hammer. Ahhh… Sweet relief.
It’s been – what, three weeks, now? – since I wrote anything purely political, and that last was just a brief bit of snark about AIG being the new Saddam. Otherwise, it’s been mostly personal stuff, with the exception of those posts connected with the April 20 paper drive, and that topic is political only in a platonic sense. (Though perhaps more Aristotelian, perhaps. Discuss.)
So clearly not in a political frame of mind, and I don’t miss it, and – honestly – neither do you. Everyone else is already playing this game, and most of them do a better job of it than I do. Let’s leave them to it. This doesn’t mean that all posts at PB.net are hereby ruled free of partisan content; that just isn’t possible these days, and has not been for some time. I just have other things to think about, most days, and will likely blog accordingly.
Sadly, this bodes ill for my recently launched GOP Wall of Stimulus Shame, a chronicle of the Republican FUD campaign intended to undermine federal economic recovery efforts. While it was fun at first, I just don’t seem to have it in me these days. I’ll retire the page shortly but not delete it, archiving it instead for posterity or some such.
Vikki: You've made Alaska sounds distressingly like Missouri! :-D I can tell indeed that you're not happy being in AK - politically, at least.
