Catching up
Apologies for the absence of activity here. As a friend of mine said today, "Let's go - get me some content on that site of yours. We got a maniac testing a nuclear missile today, fondling of pages in Congress -- plenty to pick from." So, some meandering thoughts on Mark Foley:
Nice of the NYT to be honest about the Mark Foley affair: "If it reminds elected officials that there’s a punishment waiting for those who fall in love with their own sense of entitlement," the NYT writes, "it will have done its job." Revealing way of putting it, no?
I don't have all that much to add about Foley. The whole thing is gross, and an obvious pre-election hatchet job that's being pulled off with the enthusiastic assistance of the Bush-hating media. I'm not an especially old person but I've long since given up on putting my faith in politicians. I vote for ideas, not people, and so Foley's perversions don't mean I'll pull the lever for a Democrat come November.
Besides, this is October - the other Most Wonderful Time of the Year. The Yankees look good, Penn State football is a must-watch as usual, and the Jets are competive. That, in addition to my near-daily training in the suburban decathalon (the rock toss, the fencepost pull events are my best) are the reasons why this blog isn't just about politics. Because really, gay predator instant messaging just isn't my bag.
I'll be back in earnest tomorrow.
