The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
Why does everybody blog about politics?
I suppose it's hard to avoid, because one of the major attractions of blogging is to share one's opinions with as many total strangers as possible; also, on some level many things are political. All the same, sometimes it makes me tired. Especially when the volume goes to 11 (in the famous locution of Spinal Tap).
It also seems like the blog system has evolved into one in which partisanship rules, and I am a lousy partisan. I don't like the Republican Party; I don't like the Democratic Party; and, as a libertarian, I am obligated on principle not to join the Libertarian Party. (Green is Right Out.)
It's as if everyone had a party, and I wasn't invited.
Look, now I'm blogging about politics, too. >:P
