Politics Schmolitics
Y'know, sometimes it puzzles me why I'm not more interested in politics. I mean, if I had the choice to read an article about Bush's Foreign Policy or toilet paper, I'd probably read about toilet paper. (Mainly out of curiosity, I think. What could a whole article about toilet paper possibly say?)
In fact, the main political commentary I'm getting these days comes from Southampton, because he does such a good job of skewering the Democrats. I sometimes take very un-Christian glee in seeing some unworthy institution get skewered -- unless the unworthy institution is me, of course. Plus, I just like that word: skewer. Skewer, skewered, skewering. Heh.
Yes, considering how I used to devour books like The Three Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask and Mary, Queen of Scots because all the court plotting and intrigue gave me thrills and chills, I find it kind of surprising how much politics, ahem, for the most part, well, they bore me. There, I admitted it! (Please don't hate me, Phillip!)
Having said that, I nevertheless found this article about politics very interesting. I suspect the author might've peeked into my own mind (no telling what he saw) and wrote this article using my borrowed thoughts. However, it turned out great, of course. So go read it already!
