blog

I signed up for this blog a while ago and then forgot. I never wrote anything for it. Lately, I've been thinking about blogging again to talk about the election, and possibly other news items. They (whoever they are) say you should write about what interests you, so this seems a good idea.

Ironically, here's what's on my mind now: disinterest. For a while there I was very into the Democrats' nomination process. Kind of obsessively so. It had lost its spark, though, recently. Nothing new is coming out except the minor scandals of whose surrogate said what stupid thing. (About that, Geraldine Ferraro may or may not be racist--I think most of us are, at least a little bit, so it wouldn't be a shock--but she certainly doesn't seem very bright.) The two candidates are winning the states they are "supposed" to win based on past performance. They have no significant differences on the issues--aside from disagreeing about how much of a mistake Hillary's vote for Iraq was. But...after a little post-February 5th exhaustion has worn off, I'm getting back into it. It'll be over soon. It'll be Obama. Then the really nasty stuff begins. I just hope they can't tear him to pieces like they did Kerry. Anyway, they will try.
