the moratorium i've declared on anything political over the next few weeks is harder than i expected. it's everywhere. all the sites on my favorites list are political: newspapers, public policy sites, political blogs...

i'm going through withdrawal and at each tiny glimpse i have of speeches, appearances, news, commercials, or rumors of the campaign my heart leaps and a little tingle hits my knees. (that's where my political jones is, apparently. my knees.)

i've also made the rude discovery that the GOP mail i've been studiously and stealthily destroying doesn't belong to my boss but to her husband.
