Not Just 'Cause He Says Nice Things

Vanx ponders bloggage, and in the process identifies why I hardly read political blogs anymore: they are formulaic, and I've been cured of the peculiar brand of OCD that afflicts political blog junkies. Hallelujia! The "market" for such blogs is also well-saturated, which is one reason I hardly ever do political bits myself anymore. The political bits I do post these days tend to be cartoons, which is pretty much the level I want to be: absurd and (hopefully) funny.



My stance is further supported by my recent decision to basically drop out and simply spectate. Public life in terms of our two party system has gotten to the point of Vanilli vs Vanilli. One opts out of the mass hysteria and finds real life. And a personality and stuff. The jokes become sweeter and funnier. Thanks for the mention.
