BTW 42 is NOT the meaning of life, my favorite color is blue, no, green (I'm still here!), and tying fruit of any kind to swallows is indicative of a very peculiar and rare psychosexual disease....seek help! While speculating on the airspeed of UNLADEN swallows is a far milder form....I still urge you to examine your soul! For those who have no idea what I am talking about I urge YOU to ...Ask A Kossak!
Oooooooh baybeee!
Hemingway, Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, the romance of The French Resistance, Garbo coming from the Soviet Union to discover Paris....etc etc etc. Fighting tyranny is fun and sexy. Parsing trade agreements and health care proposals? Not so much. Interesting? Sure, to a certain extent, depending on your personal wonkishness index (which can be calculated using certain long and arcane mathematical formulas and equations..................................................Yawn.)
No Drama Obama might be great politics....but lack of drama doesn't make for great political blogging!!!!!!!!!!! And without drama, without the sexiness of resisting and attempting to overthrow a tyrant, without OUTRAGE.... policy is what is remains to talk about on teh blaaahgs. Which, if you are still awake, leads to...
Tonight's First Question: Is policy sexy?
Tonight's Second Question: Is policy even interesting?
Tonight's Third Question: Which do you find more exciting...trying to grow potatoes in pots on your terrace to stave of starvation, or debating the benefits of tariffs?
Tonight's Fourth Question: Once the parsing of personalities in the cabinet is over, what will be the next 'event' in politics?
Tonight's Fifth Question: ? Will the 'excitement' of watching the economy collapse replace the excitement of living under a tin pot dictator?
Tonight's Random Answer: Pau, Drunken Goat, Humboldt Fog.
Tonight's Silly Question: Brother, can you spare 25 billion?
