I especially liked your comment over at Driftglass, about the stage clowns.<br /><br />And speaking of apt metafers (as the guy on BBC world news pronounced it this morning), I also like the cutting one. I voted for the first time in my life, at 33, in '04, having bought into the anybody but Bush hysteria, and I voted again in '06 and '08. More or less straight D the first two times and then mostly third parties in '08. The experience (if you can call it that) pretty much confirmed my previoius, apathetic self's suspicion that the whole thing is a ridiculous charade.
