…I don’t. I don’t blame Massachusetts voters for staying home, not in the least. It’s exactly what I plan on doing.

A recap of recent worthy reads after the jump…

Chuck Dupree:

One cannot even imagine anything more horrible than the end of the Democratic majority. Therefore, passing a terrible bill that everyone knows is only being enacted as a political ploy to keep the Democrats in power is the best, in fact only, move, because it keeps the Democrats in power.

Witness Massachusetts.

And I just have to point out one more time, there is no health care in this bill. It mandates the purchase of insurance, but does not mandate that insurance companies pay for whatever care you need. Who’s gonna come out ahead in such a transaction?

Farewell to arms:

The past couple years of blogging have really turned me off to politics — especially the election of Barack Obama. I think most of my revulsion is personally, because looking at the way same liberals defend Obama is a mirror reflection of how people like me, when I happily blogged from the left and attacked Bush with vitriol and vile on a daily basis.

Not that I’ve turned some sort of corner and come to believe that there’s any redeeming values to the Duyba Administration. Hardly. If the latter quarter of this decade has brought any change to my political stances, it lies in how I’ve grown to hate the process of politics. If you say you’re “progressive” then you have to blindly defend Obama, and visa versa for my counterparts on the right. And if you say something that strays away from the preassigned talking points, suddenly you’re an asshole.
