Huh? What's that about bathrooms?

Thanks for not being political, I really don't like it either. For one thing, it's no fun!

Well said. Very well said.

I agree with you. I think it is Ok to get your opinion out there, and I do like hearing other people's opinions. However, it doesn't mean I am going to agree...

I thought Kerry was the devil? Huh. I must have been misinformed.

It's going to be a LONG year...

*sigh*

Very well said, Buzz! It is OK for people to write what they want in their space, but there are other things going on in the world to talk about. Obsession is what it feels like to me.

Hope you have a great Sunday too - and PEACE!

**applause** Well said. I could not have said it any better. I have gotten to the point that if I see its a political post, I ignore it. Because it does not matter what I say, if I nicely comment saying "well...I see what your saying, but I feel this way...blah blah blah" I will get literally ripped into shreds, called stupid, told I don't know what I am talking about, and I am wrong, and they are right. So...I just stay away...I stay faaarrrr away.

I am SO with you on this one.

Idem.

I agree wholeheartedly. So many of these people have other interesting things they can talk about... that's what drew me to their site in the first place. It's a shame.

And all of a sudden I feel like an asshole.

I visit a variety of blogs, a handful of them are political. Some days I feel like reading them other days I don't. However, it is their space. Maybe it makes them feel better to write about it or maybe they feel they are somehow contributing to their 'cause' but either way, it is good to see that people have the passion and care. However your feelings are no different than mine; when I go to Jane Doe's site and have to read for the 10th time how her grandmother's diarrhoea has eased up or how her kitty is learning a new trick LOL Sometimes too much of one thing isn't necessarily a good thing!

Yes you are, as usual, right. If I want to hear/read that stuff, I'll turn on CNN or something. I read blogs to be entertained and to get a peak into other people's lives and compare their's to mine. Just one more thing: Go GWB! ;-)

I read enough news/current events on the web ( NPR, BBC & CNN ) throughout the day, that it is sometime the last thing I want to read on someon'es site. Of course there are exceptions...
Have a loverly Sunday!

I appreciate people like Michele, who report the news, then give their commentary on the issue. However, I am sick and tired of the political blogger who screams tolerance but trash every single person who isn't the same party as they are. Like, yeah, you're going to convert people over to your way of thinking when you spew such hatred and contempt from people who are DIFFERENT THAN YOU, even though what you like to preach is tolerance and openminded-ness. TO me, reading their blog is much like watching the TV evangelists they looooooove to trash. Whatever.

Oooops, I'm getting all political on you, sorry.

Who's George W?

;^)

Let's just start the Blog Party!

Thank God someone finally said it. To my mind, the only thing more freakin' boring than politics is reading political opinions. Agh.

I think I've posted stuff on (Canadian) politics like...twice. Cuz they can be funny. But partisanship? Not so much.

Besides, I have all I can handle making crap drawings and then posting them in my blog. =D

I want a sticker that says "I pooped" to wear on election days.

I don't care that you voted.

You don't care that I pooped.

Fair is fair.

Where's my buddy JJJJB???? I know he's with me on the poop sticker idea.

Thank you! But, you can't gripe at me when I talk about gay marriage. Because...well....you just can't!

Couldn't agree with you more. Well said.

what i toss up there in my blog is an extension of what i'm thinking. and if it happens to be the political season, well then chances are there might be a post or two about it. then again, if the cat is doing lots of cute tricks this week, there might be lots of pictures of him. none of us get paid to blog, we do this for fun or as a psychological release. and i'm sure everyone out there is guilty of one too many posts on a topic that the rest of us couldn't care less about. let's not all make this bigger than it is.

when it comes down to it, follow the old adage, if you don't like it, don't read it.

I will second that or 24th it.... :-) Happy Monday to ya.

Buzz For President!!!

Poop for peace! Now who wants a coke? I'm buying.

Preach it, brutha! I try to stay away from that stuff as much as possible... plus my unwritten rule never to visit any site with "pundit" it the title. ;)

Hi ya, BuzzSaw. Now that was an odd juxtiposition, don't 'cha think? Bathrooms and pretty girls? Well, to each his own, I guess (heh-heh-heh).

Wow!! I skip jumping on the 'puter and surfin' the blogs for just one day, and look what I miss!!

How 'bout that Veteran's Stadium demolition, huh??

I couldn't agree more! Every time I see a political post, I just pass right on by.

Hey, I thought *I* was the greatest world policeman ever!

I'm not real big on the "pundit" types, but I gotta say I particularly enjoy Mac's take on politics because she dishes it like a normal (well-read and intelligent) person. Her posts on the issues are just as interesting and entertaining to read as all her other stuff.

Maybe it's more about her writing style (and that I happen to agree with her a lot). Some people just shouldn't be blogging, especially when all they've got is dry, boring, unoriginal crap about politics. I imagine it's like reading a Soviet textbook or something.

Thanks for saying what needed to be said. I didn't realize just how bad things were getting on some of the political blogs until I was revisiting some sites on my blogroll I hadn't seen in awhile. I appreciate a funny comment about todays news here or there or something insightful, but it seems that as we get closer to election time some of these political bloggers have worked themselves into a frenzy. Made me shake my head in disgust and walk away.
