Tiring of Politics

August 31st, 2004

If I have any readers left after the past couple weeks of very few updates, here’s what I’m thinking…
I’m tired.
I’m just worn out from the past month of nonsensical political madness. And I don’t want to get drawn into the stupid bickering about Kerry’s Vietnam Service, who’s more rich, etc.
