Well…just a couple of months ago if someone had told me that I would be disinterested in politics, I would have just laughed my head off..after all, politics have been my lifeblood for as long as I can remember and the thought of not spending a large part of my day reading, thinking, and talking about it just is wrong…at least it was…but, now, I can’t get very interested or work up the outrage necessary to write the kind of fiery stuff that I used to do…the stuff that was dripping with sarcasm for idiots and never suffering fools gladly…I’m not sure when the change happened but I may be going through withdrawal from it…even though it doesn’t really feel that way…maybe the crushing boredom of being unemployed is part of it; I know that I have lost interest in the nonsense that comes from the right and the fact that with Citizens United, they can buy any election they want and no fact or bit of honesty can counteract it…I will keep trying, and trying, and trying, though…until it gets to the point that I can’t muster the strength to go on…I would like to get to 2,000….
