What’s cool for me is this. I grew up a political junkie, even went to “buckeye boys state” and all that fun stuff. Used to pay attention to every little thing, subscribed to New Republic, read the Nation. Finally flipped back to my conservative inner thoughts in mid-20’s (meaning truly never was a lib, but loved arguing with fellow AF troops, and voted Dukakis-Clinton).
Then I used to get riled up as a CON.
Now I am so out of touch, I don’t know a single thing about Glenn Beck’s rally or this one. For me this is much better. Outside of the off-topic forum here at Pigg, I have no clue. Baseball, college football, work, lift weights with the boys, pitch BP to the kids, eat with the family, lather, rinse, repeat. No FoxNews, No MSNBC etc.
Not for everyone I am sure, and probably off-topic to Urban’s point. It took me years to get to the not-give-a-shit phase, and it’s helping my career, helping my sleep etc. (that and eating Paleo and getting sleep).
So I am glad you all had a good time, and just taken aback that I have reached this level of indifference. Really if I just watched Colbert I’d probably be in the know as to all this stuff, but just too damn busy.
