Most mornings I start out with a pot of coffee and a gentle-to-moderate surf of whatever’s going on out there politically. Sometimes I envy my buddy Ian who’s so outside all things political he refuses to discuss it at any time or in any setting, but I’ve never been able to achieve that Olympian level of detachment. As somebody said, I’m repelled by everything it involves or implies, yet drawn to discussions and treatises on the subject.
Still there are times when I observe all these insular little tribes huddling in their respective little corners and muttering their little mutters about each other, and I just want to go shovel horseshit of a less metaphorical nature for a while. So I’m off to do that.
The more things change, the more they don’t.
Wow, had forgotten about this, had to watch the video multiple times. So glad you posted it.
