While I do keep up on politics, I don’t find it an enjoyable experience. I would much rather write up some machine-readable document explaining my own predilections and receive some sort of notification any time I need me to clarify a position, and get back to doing something more interesting. Sadly, both parties have demonstrated impressive degrees of corruption and incompetence, and the only way out of that (short of revolution) is for people of good sense to get engaged in the political process. So I attempt to stay informed, and to serve as a source of useful information for my friends who lack the time or stomach to deal with the mire of politics, but it’s a matter of conscience, not enjoyment. Following politics is like cleaning the litterbox, paying the bills, or scrubbing the toilets: someone needs to do it. I hope I’ve been able to save a few sanity points for you folks with my research posts.
