Politics sucks. Usually I am all ears, but today, turn on the radio, blah blah blah, fuck it. But I can't get away. Can't stop giving a shit. Life would be so much easier if I could just be a cynic, a hedonist, drink a beer and fall asleep in front of The Associate instead of losing sleep over shit I can't control anyway.

People dying in Iraq. Sucks for them and the only good thing is it also sucks for Bush. Kerry's people keep calling me for money, and I know how it works, and I know Bush must go, but I have donor fatigue, a bad month financially, and the guy has 6 houses. Try again next week and maybe I'll be in a better mood.

What else: been thinking about abortion again. Concluded I am not strictly pro anything, and that we could, with some rationality, reach some compromise. We could, by excluding shrill voices, arrive at rules of abortive engagement that will not please everyone but will continue to provide access for women in need while giving a nod to those who dislike abortion as contraception for sluts, and steering away from aborting the really big ones, which everyone generally finds a pretty yukky idea. I am going to take these ideas to justaddbrains.com so I can discuss them with other brains outside of this masturbatory womb where no challenges to my doctrine are currently allowed. Not until someone buys a sticker.
