Wow, that didn't take long! It's after midnight, so on the very first day after my quiet announcement I've already missed my resolution to post at least once a day. And I'm very close to breaking my resolution to have something to say each time - not to blog for the sake of blogging.
Today's political thought: If your mind can be made up by a 30-second political spot, you are not a serious person, and I don't want the decision of who's going to run my country to be in your hands - you're like that jury in Australia who were playing sudoku during testimony. If that's you, then whether you're (notionally) a Democrat or a Republican, please just stay home on voting day, OK? I have a theory that if the people who fall for lying attack ads were removed from the equation - if the campaigns suddenly found that dirty tricks no longer brought in votes - then most of the dirty money in our current system would dry up.
Of course, it's possible that without the enormous amounts that both parties are spending on media buys, the last remaining prop would be kicked out from under our suffering economy. In that case... bring on the Swift Boats, I guess?
