Sorry
I’ve got nothing today. I could expand on — say — my thoughts on Ron Paul — found on the sidebar in this form:
“In fact, the other member of Congress who votes most closely to Congressman Ron Paul is none other than Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.” To be sure, Ron Paul is an interesting casoid, and to be sure a Democratic Congress would be preferable to a Republican Congress, and to be sure a Congress full of Ron Pauls would be a nightmare, and to be sure, a congress without a few Ron Pauls would be a lesser place.
But that’s all I got. Ron Paul, like so many idiosyncratic items of politics: when is right, he is very, very right; when he is wrong, he is very very wrong.
I find this interesting, and I could theoretically create a Political Memoir for myself. I stumble through some of that now and again.
Actually I note that I was transcribing some stuff from a notebook about my final month of high school, a curious hodge-podge of politics and current events bearing down on me of a sort and adolescent angst suddenly magnified. I typed up about 20 pages of it (or so Word tells me), and stopped with what I estimate would be the other 30 pages due to the fact that I don’t think anyone particularly cares, and my time online is short.
