Politics and Consumption
November 10th, 2008
It’s amazing how much more efficiently a man can work when the fear of failure finally kicks in. I just wish it had kicked in a few weeks ago. Right now I’m going full tilt, or as full tilt as a man making a blog post can go, to get the outline all ship shape and start working on memorization and drilling problems.
It is interesting to me that after watching just about everything I could have hoped for in the election come true, (baring Coleman and Bachman getting unseated) I have drastically curtailed my news reading habits. To be sure, some of this is the impending rush of finals as I enter the end of the first semester, but the itch has gone too. I want to see an Onion article, “Obama Leaves Nation’s Liberals Feeling Shriven, Absolved.” It’s probably not a good thing to feel more relaxed about things with all the crap going on and Obama not even in office, but just knowing that in a few months Bush is out of the house is tremendously relieving.

On the other hand, with Bush gone we won’t get anything like this anymore:http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/11/images/20081112_d-0077-5-515h.html
