would love to write, muse, notice, rant, reflect, hell - even polemicize -as is my right - (cue: red and blue baloons) but lately i'm thinking everyone should seriously just shut up for a minute. or a month. ...please... we're all so enamoured with our utterances. anything will do, as long as our mouths are moving and making words we're used to making for all the people who agree with us.
you're an american? left or right? for government? against government? for life? for death? for real?!!? against Satan? and Hitler too? goodgood!
god, we're so stupid. i can hardly bear it.
it's hard to know what to do about any of it.
• leap into the fray with adjectives ablaze and a folio of facts to be dismissed with a slap of blind faith and allegiance to not thinking, not hearing, not remembering, not synthesizing, to measuring one's righteousness by one's level of vitriol
• point out who has us by the short hairs and pretend, in the pointing, that we know how to get away from any of it.
• blog about every little whiff of a partial impression that comes our way.
why?
any of it?
oh. sorry. am i ranting in a generic useless way??
see? shut up, lala

(this sounds grim, i realize. i'm actually having a great weekend. but only because I've been toodling around in my studio not listening today the supreme ignorance of our dangerously ugly national duhbate.
Don't follow these links....

I decided not to take a peek at your first link. I can only imagine having seen some of those clips on ThinkProgress.
The other one, yes, I think there is a lot of truth to what AS posted. Scary truthful.
Thanks for the post. I don't tire of your comments. Or maybe all is great when my Niners win. : )
wise choice. As to the second: it IS hard to be perfect though. ... we both know that.
obligatory wink.
congratulations on the victory.
except they're MY Niners!
(you can borrow them for this season though)
